We currently try to use MMS to keep our documentation up-to-date, but found a funny behaviour today: If I define DOCUMENT /BATCH /more_qualifiers source.SDML doctype destination to be the execution part of an MMS dependency table, the /BATCH qualifier seems to be ignored - I get all DOCUMENT messages to the terminal and must wait until all the tag translation, TEX formatting, ... stuff has finished. If I enter the *same* command interactively, the behaviour is as expected. Any ideas ? Hans.

Bug, will be fixed for V1.0 -- Gee, this is an obscure feature of MMS and was never tested for, thanks for pointing it out. Chris | |||||

460.3 | if f$mode() .EQS. "OTHER" then this must be MMS | WRONGO::PARMENTER | Wed Jun 03 1987 17:25 | 5 | |
In case you were wondering, the problem was that in MMS, f$mode() returned "OTHER" rather than "INTERACTIVE" or "BATCH", I always wondered what "OTHER" could possible mean, and now we know. David Parmenter | |||||
460.4 | Maybe a related problem | CONRAD::SERACK | Ken Serack | Wed Jun 03 1987 17:51 | 17 |
We are also having a problem with document and mms. It seems that if I do: $ document file doctype dest /NOLOG as my mms command line, I get a lot of 0 length records in the output stream during text formatting. Actually the log file contains 0 length records even outside of mms. They do not show up when you type the file, but if you do a dump/record, all of the records are shown and there are a lot of 0 lengths. Is it possible that TEX is outputting 0 length records for some reason, and could they be turned off? Ken Serack DECwest | |||||
460.5 | Not related, but fixed. | WRONGO::PARMENTER | Venusian or Venerean? | Thu Jun 04 1987 11:42 | 3 |
Yes that is fixed too. No the problem was not related. David |
