[mod.computers.vax] sys$putmsg and RMS

egisin%watarts.waterloo.edu@CSNET-RELAY.ARPA (Eric Gisin) (08/18/86)

I'd like to have the log file (sys$output:) of a detached process
be sharable for reading (like batch log files).
I created sys$output with rms, and can put records into it,
but when I use sys$putmsg its output doesn't appear.
Does anyone know whats going on?
The documentation does not say how putmsg does its output.
I should be able to get around this by using an action routine.
