Hi, is anyone of you running RSTS V9.4-05 out there ? I think we have got a severe DCL problem here and I would like to know if this is unique to our system. If not, it should be unique to RSTS 9.4 because we previousely used 9.2 without this problem : If you include /timestamp to open/logfile, DCL includes a timestamp EVERY CHARACTER, not every line. This seems to be a severe bug because sometimes the system crashes if you use this option (PBS does, for example). ANALYS.TSK then detects ??Odd address trap or ??Reserved instruction trap during FIP (dunno why FIP) operations. Or is it really a FIP bug I don't have the patch to fix ? If you can help, please send me a mail. Thanx in advance -thomas P.S.: BTW: - Is there any way to install the DEF KBM (DCL) resident ? - Is DEC's TS watching this newsgroup ? (YOOHOO!) Do they have an address on the net ? This would save me to submit an SPR by snail-mail :-) -- Thomas Cervera | UUCP: alderaan@tubopal.UUCP SysMan RKOpdp (RSTS/E) | ...!unido!tub!opal!alderaan (Europe) D-1000 Berlin 30 | ...!pyramid!tub!opal!alderaan (World) Motzstrasze 14 | BITNET: alderaan%tubopal@DB0TUI11.BITNET (saves $$$)

Certain crash files messed up in certain ways would cause ANALYS to blame the wrong component. Kevin
