286.0. "How can MEMO.GNC be used?" by PDVAX::P_DAVIS (aka SARAH::P_DAVIS) Wed Apr 22 1987 11:06

    
    I found a MEMO.GNC file in [DOCTOOLS.LOCAL.TEMPLATES] which claims
    to produce a standard DEC Interoffice Memo.  I couldn't get this
    to work under any of the standard doctypes, and finally managed
    to get passed the tag translation by copying CUP$DESIGNS.DAT to
    DOC$DESIGNS.DAT.  However, it blew up in the TEX processing, with
    the following errors:
    
(DUA1:[PDAVIS.SDML]GRAPHICS_REQS.TEX;3 (DOC$ROOT:[TEX.FORMATS]DOC$STARTUP.TEX;1
(NL:[].TEX;) (DOC$ROOT:[LOCAL.FORMATS]CUP$MEMO.DTP;1 (DOC$ROOT:[TEX.FORMATS]TAG
$GENERAL.DTP;1 (DOC$ROOT:[TEX.FORMATS]TAG$STANDARD_FONTS.LN;1))) (DOC$ROOT:[TEX
.LN03.FONTS]LN03CHARS.TEX;1))

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

286.1Note 39 May HelpVAXUUM::ETZELMikeWed Apr 22 1987 11:391
    See note 39, especially reply 39.4.
286.2PDVAX::P_DAVISaka SARAH::P_DAVISThu Apr 23 1987 11:316
    I did follow the instructions in 39.4 (although without benefit
    of having read them first), and still got the error.  Could this
    be the problem that Patti Anklam referred to as a TeX problem with
    tag arguments beginning with 0?  Is there a workaround?

    sorry I missed this earlier (actually, I saw there was a reply with
    an answer and skipped over it).
    
    the error is because \declogo isn't defined. it is defined in the
    file CUP$LOCAL_ELEMENTS.TEX (in the DEC internal kit in
    DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS). You have to have the logical name
    DOC$LOCAL_ELEMENTS defined, pointing to that file in order for the
    \declogo to be processed.

286.4I have a similar ProblemGENRAL::HEINTZETue Jun 30 1987 18:2079
    I'm having a similar problem. When I define DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS to
    CUP$LOCAL_ELEMENTS I get the following:
    
    $ show log DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS
   "DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS" = "DOC$ROOT:[LOCAL.FORMATS]CUP$LOCAL_ELEMENTS.TEX" (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
   "DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS" = "DOC$ROOT:[LOCAL.FORMATS]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

    Can someone please help me?

    You need to define DOC$LOCAL_ELEMENTS to be 
                                 ^^^^^^^^
    DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS:CUP$LOCAL_ELEMENTS.TEX. Doc$Local_Elements is
    the file; Doc$Local_Formats is the directory.
    
    Anyone have any mnemonics to help with this? We lose lots of folks
    on these corners.
286.6need bug fix alsoCLOSET::ANKLAMWed Jul 01 1987 09:356
    
    You also need to get the corrected version of CUP$LOCAL_ELEMENTS.TEX
    from CLOSET::KITS_:[DOCUMENT]. The error message about \sixpointcc
    is caused by a bug in the version of this file in the kit.

286.7%LPS-E-PARSYNERR, Syntax error in /PARAMETERSGENRAL::HEINTZEWed Jul 01 1987 12:5916
    Thank you very much for the prompt reply.  However, now I have a
    new problem:  DOCUMENT produces no errors now, but here is what
    appears on the screen:       
    
    [ P r i n t i n g  F i l e ]...
    Job COUNT_SEEKS (queue POSTSCRIPT_LPSC2, entry 998) started on
    LPS40$LPSC2

    near DATA_TYPE :POSTSCRIPT
    
    Job COUNT_SEEKS (queue LPS40$LPSC2, entry 998) terminated with error
    status
    %SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort

    Can anyone help me with this?
286.8CLOSET::ADLERWed Jul 01 1987 14:4510
That's a bug which we've fixed for V1.0. To fix it on BL8 systems,
you must *carefully* edit DOC$STANDARD_FORMATS:DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT.

Locate the line which contains the string "DATA_TYPE:POSTSCRIPT" and
change the colon to an equal sign: "DATA_TYPE=POSTSCRIPT".

Be sure that that's the only change you make, and that the new version
has the same protection and owner as the previous version.

286.9You don't have to wait for the fix -- for a priceVAXUUM::DEVRIESM.D. -- your Device DoctorWed Jul 01 1987 16:1015
    Or, if you can't wait for the destinations file fix, use the /PRINT
    qualifier on the DOCUMENT command to say it the right way:
    
    $ DOCUMENT /PRINT=(QUEUE=yourqueue,PARAMETER=DATA_TYPE=POSTSCRIPT)...
    
    
    Of course, since this is VMS syntax, you can shorten it a lot:
    
    	$ DOC /PRIN=(QUE=yourqueue,PARAM=DATA=POST)...
    
    
    So, until somebody fixes your DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT, you can still
    print to the LPS40 or LN03R with DOCUMENT.
