689.0. "XREFINCMPL error " by VICKI::TRAPASSO () Fri Jul 17 1987 13:58

    How do I recover from this error?
    
    	%TAG-F-XREFINCMPL, The file containing symbol references is
    			incomplete, file.ext.   
    
    (The explanation may be slightly different, but the error
    identification abbreviation is correct.)
    
    I get this error when I use this DOCUMENT command:
    
    	$ DOCUMENT /PROFILE=file.ext file.ext doctype printer /INDEX
    
    I have already processed the profile and have a .XREF file in
    my directory.  
    
    Thanks for the help.

689.1CUPOLA::HAKKARAINENThis too shall passFri Jul 17 1987 16:476
    This shows up if a previous pass was interrupted, either by an error
    or a ctrl/y or some other event. You will need to delete the incomplete
    version. 
    
    This is also know as the XREF INtrepid Canadian Mounted PoLice error,
    cuz it gotcha.
689.2a "note" from Nelson EddyVAXUUM::KOHLBRENNERTue Jul 21 1987 10:1218
    When the tag translator is loading the XREF file (from the previous
    execution) it checks to be sure that a "complete" file has been
    loaded.  If the file is incomplete, it puts out the above message.
    Karl's reply (.1) supplies the user-action.
    
    The problem arises because the baselevel 7 and 8 versions of the
    tag translator did not create the new version of the XREF file in
    a way that was safe from a CTRL-Y interrupt.
    
    Version 1 of the tag translator creates the new XREF file as a 
    temporary file and after closing it, renames it to XREF file type.
    
    (This process was made more complicated by the need to lock the
    existing version  of the XREF file whenever it is being used so
    that other writers who are working on the same book will not try
    to update it simultaneously...)
