Hi Richard:<br><br>Thanks for pointing out this QDESIGN versus QUIZ difference.<br>Does this problem show up when you execute the GO command or<br>does it show up when QDESIGN is trying to compile an USE file?<br><br>My personal preference is to be informed when a directory does not exist.<br>But I could see a lot of DCL scripts failing if Cognos changed QUIZ<br>to work as QDESIGN works.<br><br>Regards.<br><br>Peter Bateman<br><br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: RWitkopp@phxa.com<br>To: powerh-l@lists.sowder.com<br>Subject: QDESIGN having trouble with VMS chained logicals?<br>Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2008 16:23:41 -0800<br><br>
<title>QDESIGN having trouble with VMS chained logicals?</title>
<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Arial">I found something strange with chained VMS logicals with QDESIGN.</font> <font size="2" face="Arial">Like, we have a directory logical defined as:</font></p>

<p align="left"><font size="2" face="r_ansi"> = "PRDDATA:[IA_COMMON_PRO_DAT]"</font></p>
