124.0. "Can't open included contents file" by LISTNH::SIMONS (Al Simons 381-2187) Thu May 04 1989 14:46

    After wasting Mary's time a few days ago reporting a known problem, I
    *swore* I was going to find this one myself. Sigh...
    
    DOC T1.2, ONLINE TOOLS April 19. VMS T5.2 FT1
    
    I built a small book (~80 pages). Everything is clean up to the device
    conversion phase, where it includes the contents file. It claims it
    can't open it! The file is there; I can open it with an editor. There
    is only one <contents_file> tag in the doc. I'm stumped. I have even
    tried it over again performing only a device conversion from the kept
    files. Same results...

    Sorry Al I probably should have stuck a warning in here early this
    week. There's a bug with long filenames that just surfaced last week.
    A workaround is to shorten the filename. Hopefully next week sometime
    we'll have this fixed.

    This has turned out to be a bug in the VAXC RTL which has been QARed.
    For now keeping the complete filespec less than 64 characters is the
    fix.

    Our online builds have recently started to complain about the length of
    our filenames (they have been fine until now). The message reads:

%TAG-W-NAMETRUNC, tag <COUNTER>, line 304, file
        MEMEX_SYMBOLS.SDML
       Name HYPERVIEW_WORKING_DESIGN_DECWALT exceeds 31 characters.
       Name HYPERVIEW_WORKING_DESIGN_DECWAL is truncated version

    I should add that this is not all my own work. The bookbuild is adding
    the _DECWALT to my otherwise short-enough file name. Does this have
    anything to do with the previous problem? 
    
    If not, where is it coming from and why? How can I be blamed for
    creating too long a filename when I didn't add all those extra
    characters causing the overflow?

    But seriously folks, what is irritating about it is that it doesn't
    seem to affect anything: the book (appears to) build just fine. So why
    tell me about it, and more importantly, why *warn* me about it? Given
    that with sufficient warnings the build *does* bomb out, the last thing
    I need is extra warnings! What's happening?

    Regards

    Richard

    In the October 27 edition of "Coding Documentation Source Files for 
    the DECwindows Bookreader," section 1.3, "Known Problems," item 7
    describes this error message, and states that the error is harmless.
    
    As you suggest, it might be nice to change this to an information
    message instead of a warning since the output is unaffected.

    I have no control over that message; it's issued in other situations
    where it may not be harmless and a warning is appropriate. No, I 
    need to fix the problem. But it *is* harmless...
