trouble seeing the subfile

Mon Mar 2 12:53:46 CST 2015

Ehhh, I didn't know it was not the current version. This is the first time I've seen anything like this with the versions we have used so far.

Truth is, using a more current version is not really an option. Powerhouse is only used for our legacy apps and management will never expend the time and effort to do all the testing we would have to do to install a new version. Are you saying you think the current version fixes this? I don't really have access to release notes or knowledge base, I don't think.

I see you're using 8.40E. Have you tried the current version?

No, there is no logical. It's in the directory where the .sfd is.

Did you not notice that it works fine if I put the semicolon on the end? For those not familiar with VMS, that denotes the highest version. The default with no version signifier is also supposed to denote the highest version.  It's not seeing the subfile at all with no version signifier.

We have been using this subfile for months without issue until a new version was created last Friday.

Are you physically in the same directory as the subfile.  (I'm not seeing any sort of logical name which would point
To a default directory or directory search list for subfiles).

Given there is no logical name in the subfile open, is the subfile normally created/processed as part of a batch run
Which DOES create a subfile, then sets a logical name (SF$IA_1099_TAPE_2014_BKR) to point to it?
(search your batch ".com" files for SF$IA_1099_TAPE_2014_BKR to see it's actually a logical...).

Do you have a "Fat Finger" typo there?  Usually "we" would us a logical to point to a subfile
Directory, typically your subfile reference would look like:

Access *SF:IA_1099_TAPE_2014_BKR

(Look for the subfile  IA_1099_TAPE_2014_BKR in the directory(s) pointed to by the logical SF...

Just thinking out loud on a slow morning, (foolishly before finishing my first cup of coffee...).

I've never seen anything like this before:

$>> quiz
Q U I Z   (PowerHouse  8.40.E)

> access *SF$IA_1099_TAPE_2014_BKR
*E* The subfile requested does not exist.
> access *SF$IA_1099_TAPE_2014_BKR;
*W* PowerHouse name for SF$IA_1099_TAPE_2014_BKR; is SF$IA_1099_TAPE_2014_BKR.
> e

This is on OpenVMS V8.3, which has multiple file versions. I get similar results when I use qshow.

Any ideas on what may have caused this?
