I don't know whether it's been fixed but the current version of 8.40G.

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?
