There appears to be a bug in the handling of logical names on the
DOCUMENT command line in BL8. This worked in BL7. Here's a terminal
session log -- you'll note the use the the OV: logical, which is
defined and the file is in the directory, but DOCUMENT seems to
ignore the logical when it looks for the SDML file. In BL7 it found
the input file ok and created all the output in the current default
directory, which is the desired/expected action.
$ set def ov:
$ cat ov_Ucol*
Directory TOPAZ:[GREENE.OV]
OV_UCOLO_Q487.SDML;2

I think that was noted in the release notes.
It has been fixed for V1.0.
THe problem was that we were attempting to be nice and allow
you to have EITHER filetype (SDML or GNC) when you did not
explicitly state the filtype and in the process we lost the
dev:[dir] that you supplied.
If you say OV:file.SDML, then it works just fine in BL8.
