234.0. "Output qualifier ignored in Online builds" by CASEE::THOMSON (Richard Thomson) Tue Dec 05 1989 07:48

  Hi again,                                                           
                                                                    
  We have an MMS procedure which builds our complete doc set and puts the
  final format files into a directory specified by the /OUTPUT=mumble 
  qualifier in the command line.                                      
                                                                     
  This works perfectly satisfactorily for a PostScript build, but when I
  do an Online build, this qualifier is ignored, and the output is placed
  in the source directory.                                            
                                                                    
  The problem has been there forever (we have upgraded VMS, DOCUMENT and
  BOOKREADER since creating the MMS procedure), so the versions of these
  things would not appear to be the problem.                          
                                                                    
  The only other thing I can think of to tell you is that "mumble" is a
  variable, not a hardcoded target (same as PostScript builds).       
                                                                    
  Is this a known problem?                                            
                                                                    
  Regards                                                             
                                                                    
  Richard

    Hi Richard,
    	Yes, this is a known problem and we've fixed it in the next
    release.  We're having a meeting today that will probably set the date
    for this next release, but it'll be soon.
    
    Thanks,
    	Wayne
