Help.
Problem: LIB$SPAWN fails in batch without comment.
Environment: uVMS 4.4, Pascal; on a uVax II w 4MB memory
Description: A process which is run from a batch job calls LIB$SPAWN.
The spawn does not happen. The completion status is not
stored into. Image accounting shows no sign of anything
having run.
However... if the program is NOT run in batch, everything
works fine!
input_file and output_file are pointing at 'NL:', all other
parameters are := %immed 0.
Suspicion: Quotas. But I have set Bytelm up to 40000 and everything
else is quite high. Bypass priv makes no difference.
Gripe: There should be SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE saying why the system
declines to spawn my task. Silently vanishing away is not
really acceptable.
What works: $ RUN SPAWNER
$ SPAWN RUN SPAWNER
What doesn't: any of the above in batch.
Murphy's Law: A small test program fails to exhibit any problems :-(
Any help greatfully appreciated.
