418.0. "Status code error?" by TOKLAS::FELDMAN (PDS, our next success) Tue May 26 1987 17:30

    I got the following error from DOCUMENT, baselevel 8:
    
    	%DOC-F-INVALID_VALUE, Can't use GARY:[FELDMAN.PDL.SPEC]SPEC.XREF;
    		as a file for /PROFILE.
    	-RMS-E-FNF, file not found
    
    The error is quite correct.  However, the value of $SEVERITY after
    the command was 1, indicating success.  Shouldn't it be 2 or 4?
    
    Also, I believe there are other cases where Document is forced to
    stop early but gets the status wrong.

	Yes, there is a bug in BL08 where DOCUMENT does not always return an error status if there is an error. This bug has been fixed for V1.0. The impact of this bug is seen in many problems where people are depending upon an error status being returned from DOCUMENT. Chris
