1296.0. "Stop C3 interface edits" by CHEFS::HATT (Wait a minute you're not Miss Jackson......!) Mon May 13 1996 12:05

    Hello,
          I am running PCM V1.6-100 on OpenVMS V6.2. I cannot seem to
    switch off the C3 Edit option. I am using a common database so do not
    want all users to be able to switch into Edit and draw lines, move
    icons etc. I have created a user PCM_USER and set it up thus;
    
     PCM Edit> sho user pcm_user
    Full or Brief listing? [f=full, b=brief] (b): f
    Output file (SYS$OUTPUT):
    User Name       = PCM_USER
        Information =
        May startup Console Manager from the C3 interface
        May not reconfigure Console Manager
        May shutdown Console Manager
        May not edit configuration database
        May unlock consoles
        May transmit break signal
        May not perform archive
        May exit C3 interface
        May not edit C3 interface <--- Stop C3 edits!!?
        May access all systems
        May access all groups
    
    However when I start up the C3 screen from PCM_USER I still get the
    Interactive/Edit box and can edit the display. The save option is
    blanked but if I move an icon say, and exit when I restart C3, even
    as another user the moved icon has saved that position!
    Am I doing something wrong?

    Steve,
      Your not doing anything wrong. Install ECO 2 and you should be all
    set.

    Dan,
         Thanks - ECO 2 installed and edit function now ok.
    
     However...
     
     I now have a problem with the events screen (probably there before ECO
    put on). What I do is create a detached process to run the C3 screen
    and this creates the Events screen. When I do this from the PCM_USER
    a/c (with the settings in base note), I get the windows but events in
    the Events window are just displayed as the search string. eg I see
    %DECFM-I*^ instead of %DECFM-I-TEST, This is a test message If I then
    double click on the event (to see the context) the events window
    disappears. If I look in the log created from the detached process
    there is a stack dump.
    Is this a known problem? I can post the stack dump etc if you need
    to see it.
    
    Thanks,
            Steve

    I'm assuming you mean the Evenlist application (aka Multi-Line Window)
    when you say "Events screen". The problem you are seeing is not a bug.
    Your unable to read the console logfiles and this is probably due to a
    file or directory-protection problem. The username the process is
    running under has to have read access to the logfiles.
