Hi,
Customer would like to know why can't he execute a cat command
in some of the Oracle files (note that there is no problem with that
file, Oracle is using it with no problems at all...)
# SUSVTDB1> whoami
root
# SUSVTDB1> cd /usr/oracle/tbd5_p
# SUSVTDB1> pwd
/usr/oracle/tbd5_p
# SUSVTDB1> ls -la
total 563248
drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle dba 8192 May 2 18:09 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 oracle dba 8192 May 13 10:18 ..
drwx------ 2 oracle dba 8192 Apr 10 17:49 .tags
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 576718848 May 15 07:56 BSCUST1T.D00
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 8192 Apr 10 17:49 quota.group
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 8192 Apr 10 17:49 quota.user
# SUSVTDB1> cat BSCUST1T.D00
cat: cannot open BSCUST1T.D00
# SUSVTDB1>
# SUSVTDB1> more BSCUST1T.D00
BSCUST1T.D00: No such file or directory
# SUSVTDB1>
Thanks a lot

| 9853.1 | non-printing characters? | COMICS::CORNEJ | What's an Architect? | Fri May 16 1997 11:11 | 6 |
Are there any embbeded non-printing characters in the file. I've
been bitten this way with files I could not delete (well, untill I
used a wildcard :-)

.1> Are there any embbeded non-printing characters in the file. Jc means, "are there any non-printing characters in the file's _name_?" Webb | |||||

(well - close!)
I've also had files on a VMS system that printed a similar message
when "typed", but found that the file actually contained the error
message itself (and this was not April 1:-)

try
ls | cat -vte
to see if there are any funny characters in the files of that
directory.
