Could anyone tell me of a routine which will enable me to find out whether the
current DAY has been defined as Primary, Secondary or Default, via the DCL
command $ Set Day ? DEC TSC in the UK say there is no such routine --- I will
have to read the 'fiche to find out how LOGINOUT gets the information.

It's not that hard to do. Here's a sample macro program that displays the type of day. It would be a small matter to convert it into a callable routine. Hope this helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- .title whatday - display primary/secondary/default day ; ; Written by: ; Sanford L.

There is currently a bug in VMS, including 4.4, (haven't checked 4.5 yet), which I reported to DEC some time ago. The SET DAY/DEFAULT command clears the wrong bit in the EXE$GL_FLAGS longword. I wrote the following program which does what that command should do. This program requires CMKRNL privilege. Here it is: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- .psect inst,long,nowrt,exe .entry start,^m<> $cmkrnl_s routin=fixday ret .entry fixday,^m<> moval handler,(fp) bbcc #exe$v_explicits,exe$gl_flags,10$ 10$: ret .entry handler,^m<> $exit_s .end start ------------------------------------------------------------------------- --Sandy Berger Marquette University Computer Services Division Technical Services Milwaukee, WI UUCP: ...!{seismo|harvard}!uwvax!uwmacc!uwmcsd1!marque!mucsd!8004slb
