                        -< ERROR AFTER INSTALLING V1.0 >-

I think I the problem was caused by DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT


the one cretated by the installation looks as follows:

*****************************************************

Although we're not supposed to edit the file,

I changed LN01_LASER_PRINTER in LN01 and it works !!!!!

Any Idea why ??




Eric

    Change occurrences of _LASER_PRINTER to null.
    

         
         See note 467.*

    Oops!
    
    THe installation procedure puts a "DESTINATION" command on
    the front of the DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT file, and the command
    must be no more than 255 characters in length.  In your case,
    the command was 7 characters too long.
    
    You supplied LPA0: as the queue name, and took the default
    LN01_LASER_PRINTER as the destination name and added the
    qualifier NOTIFY.  I did not realize that we were so close to
    the 255 character limit, and in testing the installation
    procedure here we did not bother to supply any qualifiers,
    so we did not exceed 255 characters.
    
    As Marty indicates, if you had shortened the destination name
    to LN01, you would have squeaked in under 255 and still been
    able to specify the NOTIFY qualifier.  But there was no way for
    you to know that in advance, so you have to edit DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT
    and shorten LN01_LASER_PRINTER to LN01.
    
    Next time around we'll shorten some of the qualifiers and allow
    more room for the destination and queue names and the print qualifiers.

Thanks for the quick response !
