419.0. "<INCLUDE_TEX_FILE> fails with /CONTENTS" by 57609::LONG () Tue May 26 1987 18:15

    <sigh> I know it's probably an unsupported feature, but I make
    extensive use of the <INCLUDE_TEX_FILE> tag to pull in Picmode
    graphics.  I have found that it appears incompatible with /CONTENTS
    processing.  This may be related to the buffer length problem
    noted last week by Patti, or it may not.  In any case, whenever
    I use DOCUMENT foo GENERAL LN03/CONTENTS/NODEVICE I get a number
    of ACP file errors:
    
    	ACP file create failed
    		foo.TCB
    		foo.TCI
    
    	ACP file access failed
    		mumble.TEX
    		mumble1.TEX
    		(etc.)                         
    	(And of course, the .TEX files fail to make it to the
    	output document...)
    
    It also happens if I combine /CONTENTS with /INDEX, and then
    I get a lot of index-related file create failures.  Strangely
    enough, /INDEX/NODEVICE alone works fine...
                           
    Anyone else seen this?

419.1open file quota?CLOSET::ANKLAMTue May 26 1987 18:377
    
    There should be *no* interaction between <include_tex_file> and
    any contents or index files. Are you sure you have sufficient
    open file quota? If you are pushing the limit, the addition
    of /contents or /index could push you over the top.
    
    
419.2/FILLM=40 helps a lot!57609::LONGWed May 27 1987 09:4812
    
    Thanks for the pointer, Patti.  My FILLM was 20, I bumped it to
    40 and the problem went away.  I don't remember a <NOTE> in the
    installation notes or admin guide about this, but then I don't
    remember a lot of things...
    
    BUT... shouldn't the error message let me know that I had exceeded
    my open file quota?  The ACP file {access|create} failed messages
    aren't all that enlightening...

    I don't think that there is a message about exceeding one's open file
    quota. I've wished for one to appear, but I've never seen one. Usually
    it's just a terse ``exceeded quota'', leaving me to wonder what quota
    I've offended. 
    
    BTW, the fillm suggestion is in the installation guide, p. 6 of
    the bl7 edition.
