| Hi Glenn,
I'll check into this for you.
One thing I noted though, was that even though you mentioned having
a symbols file, your command line didn't use the /SYMBOL= qualifier. I
don't believe that this would be the cause of the SUBSTR error, but it
would give you a lot of other errors.
There will soon be a newer version of the ONLINE.SHELF doctype.
You should keep an eye open for announcement of the new Writer's
Toolkit.

| Thanks Wayne. But do you think there is anything that can be done to stop the
SUBSTR errors on regular PS, LN03, etc. destinations? I can't seem to compile
anything anymore. Should I reinstall DOC012 or something?
Thanks.

| 267.3 | It works with SET MESS/SEV/FAC/ID !!! | CVMS::DOTEN | Right theory, wrong universe. | Tue Jan 23 1990 15:03 | 32 |
| Whoa, this is really off the wall - you're gonna think I'm imagining things...
In my LOGIN.COM I have a SET MESSAVE/NOSEC/NOFAC/NOID 'cuase I don't like to
see all that prefix crap with an error message (an old RSTS/E hangover, I
suppose). Andhow, check out this log file:
$ doc = "document"
$ type test.sdml
<p>This is a test.
$ doc/noprint test.sdml s.r ps
VAX Document V1.2-A 2-JUN-1989 16:15:56.35

If I have SET MESS/FAC/SEV/ID set, then the document compile works fine!
You tell me! :-)

Note 2591.0 SUBSTR selection error 2 replies
DINSCO::FUSCI "DEC has it (on backorder) NOW!" 51 lines 9-NOV-1989 17:03
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This error is different from the one reported in note 1829.
VMS Version 5.2
VAX Document Version 1.2; save set dated 17-MAY-1989
Internal Extensions V1.2; save set dated 28-JUN-1989
Online-bookbuilding extensions V2; save set dated 27-OCT-1989
NOTE: The problem did *not* occur until the Online-bookbuilding extensions
were installed.
Problem Statement: A PASCAL SUBSTR selection error occurs during the tag
translation phase *only if* DCL message identification is disabled via the
SET MESSAGE command.
Has anyone seen this?

-< looks like a bug >-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks Ray. Especially for the complete statement of the problem.
It looks like the tag translator is making some assumption
about message length and tripping on the shorter message that
comes back when you have turned off parts of the message
using the SET MESSAGE command in DCL.
I'll take a look at it. Bill

-< bug found and fixed >-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep, a fix is already in for the next release.
In the meantime, running with the on-line kit's version
of the tagtranslator will cause a crash if you try to
turn off parts of the error message. So, run with the
full error message (SET MESS/FAC/SEV/IDENT/TEXT).
