64.0. "Index funnies." by UBEAUT::MANDERSON (the wind don't blow..... it sux) Thu Mar 05 1987 21:19

    I have problems getting indexing to work.
    
    I have a project plan (that I have been working on for several months)
    broken into several chapters and appendicies. Using 
    	DOC PROJPLAN SOF.SPE LN03/CONT/INDEX/NODEV I get a contents
    but no index (comes up with a file not found during the tex generation)
    
    If I edit the profile so either all chapters or all appendicies then
    the index generation is ok. I am working on isolating what is causing
    the problem however the document takes about 40 mins, on our microvax,
    to compile and will take a little time.  
    
    Has anybody else come up with something with similar effects. As
    I get more information I will put it in here - meanwhile to start
    the ball rolling....

64.1more info?CLOSET::ANKLAMFri Mar 06 1987 12:165
    
    Could you be a little more specific about the problem? I will try
    to duplicate, but if I can't I may need to look at the files.

What is the "file not found" that the text formatter complains about?

    This is the log file for a .com file  used in batch. (edited for
    relevance and readability). The file it can't find is the ~.brn
    one.  Today I ran a reduced version of the .com (including the files 
    with an * below) without problems. There are no formatting errors in
    the file that either document or tex kick up at.

64.4slip of the finger on index ?TYFYS::CLINARDTYFYS - Thank You For Your Support Tue Mar 10 1987 19:3614
Is it because the vax document user guide part 1 ft test draft 
pp13-239 reads

...Main entry <subentry>subentry...

but should read as per pp9-6 of the same volume

<X>(file structure designators<XSUBENTRY>See also header Blocks)


(Ed services here in the Springs pointed this out)


regards ---gic
64.5UBEAUT::MANDERSONthe wind don&#039;t blow..... it suxWed Mar 11 1987 17:4116
    I don't think the <xsubentry> is the problem as I am not using it
    (unless that is the problem....) All the entries are <X>(whatever)
    Putting in all the <xsubentry>(???) will be part of my next editing
    sessions.
    
    What has hasn't made indexing so far.

    	[9 ch + 2 appendix includes .tex throughout]	no go
     	[9 ch no appendix still includes .tex ]		no go
    	[7 ch no appendix still includes .tex ]	 	ok
    		The chapters removed included tables (as do many other
		chapters - although they are a bit bigger) but nothing 
    		else different.
    
    	Still trying to isolate it.

64.6not appendices but still happening.UBEAUT::MANDERSONthe wind don&#039;t blow..... it suxFri Mar 13 1987 07:5934
    I have eliminated appendices as the problem. I made the appendices
    into chapters and still no index - same error as before. (Incidentaly
    a second person here is having a similar no index problem on a different
    book.)
    
    After a talk around here the possibility of <table> constraints in
    a single <element> arose. So I have just finished editing one of
    the (old) appendices into 5 new smaller appendices - each one table
    only.
    
    Kicked it off and got the following error. I looked at the file
    - couldn't see anything wrong so kicked off again. Same error. 
    Commented it out in the <profile> and then the next <element> caused 
    the same error. I can't find this error in the manual so have no
    idea what it represents.

    There are still no <xsubentry>'s (tried them, got the above error
    and took them out till I get it going).

64.8send them allCLOSET::ANKLAMFri Mar 13 1987 09:436
    
    we should probably look at all the files in order to track down
    the indexing problem.

64.9VARINDVAL bug isolatedCLOSET::ANKLAMTue Mar 17 1987 15:4611
    
    re PAS-VARINDVAL in .6
    
    This was caused by a <comment>(   that was not terminated occurring
    in an <element> of a <profile>. (these were in the appendix files,
    I assume in the attempt to not use appendixes because of the index
    problems...)
    
    Now am working on the original problem of index entries...

64.10Try this one as well.UBEAUT::MANDERSONthe wind don&#039;t blow..... it suxThu Mar 19 1987 18:52107
    re .9. Thanks Patti. Fixed that problem.

    Have something more for you though.
    
Well in trying different things to find this indexing problem I figured 
I would kick of a (big) batch job consisting of 13 passes of the bookbuild. 
Each pass would have a different chapter <comment>'ed out to see if 'this' 
one was causing the problems. It didn't -  however another problem arose that
may(not) be related. On pass 10 ACP gave an error as unable to find DECLOGO. 
All subsequent passes suffered the same error. I have checked and DECLOGO is 
still there.

I edited the batch log (readability and relevance) and it follows the page 
break. Hope this helps.

***  This was pass 9 of 13 in the batch - an as usual index failure.

64.11Can't run Index from a logicalCLOSUS::AMENDTue Apr 21 1987 15:3323
    I am not sure whether you fixed the problem with finding the .brn
    file or not.  I found the problem in mine and I think you have the
    same problem.
    
    I have defined in my login.com the following command:
    
    $ define my_disk wrkd5$
    
    I have a .com procedure that says
    
    $ set def my_disk:[amend.whaterver]
    
    When I log on and say set def [amend.whatever] I have no troubles
    with index.  However, if I move around and say
    
    $ set def my_disk:[amend.whatever]  I get a .br instead of a .brn
    file when I run index.  I noticed that the logical on the first
    note was there and not an actual.

    Bless you a thousand times! I have finally (I think we've been at
    this for almost a year, off and on) been able to reproduce the
    problem on our base level 7. Using the same command sequence,
    the problem does *not* occur on the development base level,
    which means, I think, that we've done it !
    
    (The problem was not resetting the buffer length for the filename
    when a logical name is in the file-spec string.)

64.13.brn file not foundDELNI::COLELLOMon Jun 29 1987 10:3316
    One of the writers here cannot produce an index even on a single
    chapter.  The index entries are coded correctly as far as I can
    see.  We get a similiar error as mentioned above " can't find .brn
    file " but the wierd thing is that the file spec gets truncated.
    Example:
    
    The file is called 2222c3.gnc and when the /index qualifier is used
    it can't find the same 2222c3.brn file, instead it creates a 22.brn.
    and when I ran it on the profile:
    it created a 2222.brn from the 2222igpro.gnc file.  So it looks
    like it's chopping off 4 chars to the left of the .???? That's the
    only problem I've seen so far.  I've been running and producing
    indexes fine.  I looked in her login.com, but am not sure what I
    should be looking for... any ideas?

    The answer is in .11 and .12; this was a bug that persisted through
    BL7, but I've had no reports of problems on BL8 systems.
