4793.0. "Problems with Document and HTML" by TAEC::ROUGE () Wed May 14 1997 11:41

Hi,

Context:
  AXP OpenVMS V7.1  on node PADOVA 
  DECdocument  V3.1F (c) 1995-1996 Touch Technologies, Inc.


1. when a target directory starts with figures (0..9)
   I get thies error message

$ dvc$html_pgm == "$tti_run:intouch_run.EXE_AXP/image tti_run:dvc$html"
Illegal file name at GET_PARAMETERS.20TS


2. even though my delete symbol is defined as "del*ete :== delete/confirm"
   in my login.com file
   I cannot send a document processing in batch, because it
   asks me comfirm deletion !

   could-you add in your process delete/nolog/noconfirm


thanks

   You should not be reassigning DCL commands -- all manner of weirdness
   can result from this.  

   (Some truely defensive command procedures will delete all user-equated
   DCL symbols, or will use SET SYMBOL/SCOPE commands, to prevent problems
   such as you are reporting here.) 

   I would recommend to Touch that they do not use DELETE/NOLOG/NOCONFIRM,
   but that they consider the use of SET SYMBOL/SCOPE or similar, and/or
   that they consider avoiding passing any user symbols into any DOCUMENT
   subprocesses.
