| 291.1 | I Doubt It's DCLTABLES.EXE | CLOSET::DYER | Define `Quality' | Tue Aug 19 1986 21:13 | 12 |
| I don't think it's DCLTABLES. (But if you want to check
your DCLTABLES out, I recommend installing SHCOMMA, available
from the Toolshed.) The only DCLTABLES angle I could imagine
being at fault is a logical name like VMSHELP being set equiv-
alent to something weird. (I can generate all kinds of errors
by doing that, but nothing along these lines.) And that still
doesn't explain why LOGOUT would do it (LOGOUT is a CLIroutine,
not an image).
I haven't seen the error message before, but I would guess
that the image activator is generating it.
It might be better to ask for help in VAXWRK::VMSNOTES.

| The error is coming from the $IMGACT system service which is used
by DCL to invoke an image. It sounds like $IMGACT is being called
without an image name.
Possible problems:
1) DCLTABLES is screwed up.
Not likely. If anything happened here, DCL would pass garbage
to $IMGACT, not nothing.
2) DCL is screwed up.
Also not likely. If it was a problem with DCL itself, I
wouldn't expect intermittent behaviour.
3) Memory/CPU/Disk errors.
Check your errorlog and SHOW ERRORS. If you have been getting
disk errors on your system disk, memory errors, machine checks,
etc., you have probably found the problem. But in this case,
I would expect to see errors in other places, also. Has
anything else on the system been acting wierd?

| Warning - ignorance showing.
How do I start up the error checking ERRFMT? - just do a
@SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP ERRFMT ???
then what from there...
.dave.
ps - nothing else weird in the system...

| 291.5 | errfmt isn't running ??!! | BAXTA::MACKAY_RANDY | | Thu Aug 21 1986 10:38 | 5 |

Why isn't errfmt already running ? quotas too low
on system account ?

| This is a uVAX. Nobody bothers with it. I'm going to from now
on though.
How and where does one analyze the errors?
ANALYZE/ERROR ???

| 291.7 | HELP ANALYZE, but not on uVMS | FROST::PIPER | bill piper | Thu Aug 21 1986 13:36 | 5 |
| Best way to start on ANALYZE/ERROR on a uVAX is to extract the
ANALYZE module out of MachoVMS's HELPLIB and replace the useless
one in yours.
