208.0. "Run-time error" by NEWVAX::TROMBETTA () Thu May 22 1997 21:30

    I have installed DASC V4.1 on a VAX cluster with 3 VAX nodes and 1
    Alpha node.  Following is a sample run and the error I am getting.
    
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

    I added the following line to the DASC$CREF.SITE file and re-ran DASC. 
    The error did not re-occur.

	This error footprint has already been mentioned a couple of times,
	most recently in note 204.0... Please refer to 204.1 for solution.
	
	As far as your proposed fix (note 208.1) is concerned, it did mask
	the problem by avoiding to collect/report data on HSD000. The new
	code that can be made available would require you to remove this
	modification in order to again collect/report from HSD000...
