Last evening I upgraded to OpenVMS T6.2-FT2 (from FT1). After this my PCM no longer
works. The startup fails due to some database problem...
In fact:
$ show logi console$Actions/Full
"CONSOLE$ACTIONS" [super] = "CONSOLE$USER_ACTIONS" (CONSOLE$LOGICAL_NAMES)
= "CONSOLE$SYSTEM_ACTIONS"
1 "CONSOLE$USER_ACTIONS" [super] = "CONSOLE$ROOT:[ACTIONS.USER]" (CONSOLE$LOGIC
AL_NAMES)
1 "CONSOLE$SYSTEM_ACTIONS" [super] = "CONSOLE$ROOT:[ACTIONS.SYSTEM]" (CONSOLE$L
OGICAL_NAMES)
$ dir console$Actions
Directory CONSOLE$ROOT:[ACTIONS.USER]
FM_PAGER.COM;10
Total of 1 file.
Directory CONSOLE$ROOT:[ACTIONS.SYSTEM]
CONSOLE$ARCHIVE_CLEANUP.COM;1 CONSOLE$BROADCAST.EXE;3
CONSOLE$EVENTLIST.EXE;3 CONSOLE$EVENTSINGLE.EXE;3
CONSOLE$MAIL.COM;1
Total of 5 files.
Grand total of 2 directories, 6 files.
But still with
$ cons edit/int=Char

And that basically is why PCM does not start any more. Since the change was OpenVMS
ft version, this basically means that QAR should be raised against them. Before that
I would like to know however, how PCM performs this particular verify step and why it
would fail? Using $SEARCH perhaps...

Veli,
yes we did the same last night as we have been asked by OpenVMS eng to
validate against V6.2. We had the same problem, so until further notice V6.2
is not supported, but we will work on it.
Cheers Simon...

Veli, This would appear to be a change of behaviour in the C-RTL stat function. I have QAR'd this, hopefully we will have this resolved soon. Cheers, Phil | |||||

Phil, I have upgraded my workstation to T6.2-FT3 and still no joy. PCM does not work. CONS EDIT/INT=CHAR and VERIFY still reveals: PCM Edit> ver Action 'Archive Clean-up' command 'console$archive_cleanup' not found in CONSOLE $ACTIONS Action 'Broadcast' command 'console$broadcast' not found in CONSOLE$ACTIONS Action 'FM Pager' command 'FM_PAGER' not found in CONSOLE$ACTIONS Action 'Mail' command 'console$mail' not found in CONSOLE$ACTIONS Action 'Multi-Line Window' command 'console$eventlist' not found in CONSOLE$ACTI ONS Action 'Single-Shot Window' command 'console$eventsingle' not found in CONSOLE$A CTIONS ... So, have you had any response to your QAR? | |||||

Veli, You will have to wait for PCM V1.6 for a supported version to run on OpenVMS V6.2. The result of the QAR was that the stat() function was changed in order to comply and behave just like its equivalent on Digital UNIX and other "Open" platforms. It turns out that our use of it was not standard and we were just lucky it worked. I have reworked the 5 ines of our code which caused the problem, however, this will not appear until we release V1.6 Cheers, Phil | |||||
