3229.0. "opening Cardfiler gets `Can not open default cardfiler file"" by FIEVEL::FILGATE (Bruce Filgate SHR3-2/W4 237-6452) Fri Jan 31 1997 12:52

When I use excursion to open my VMS windows cardfiler with the eXcursion
command sys$system:decw$cardfiler, I get an error back that the default
cardfiler can not be opened.

There is no default sys$login:decw$cardfiler.card file to open, there are
several card files.  When the name of one of these card files is appended
on the same line, it is ignored.

What is the accepted manner of opening a specific cardfiler.card file on
the host via eXcursion?

thanks,
 Bruce

Please run cardfiler from a vms command line (instead of from excursion
control panel), but of course direct its output through excursion.  Do you
get same error ?  I suggest you read the cardfiler documentation (unless
this experiment suggests there's an excursion problem here)

 How does one implement the vms command

   @vue$library:vue$cardfiler sys$login:office_people.card

 for an eXcursion icon?

 Anything after the first space is ignored.

 thanks,

For the command line in excursion's application page of the control panel,
perhaps you can try

	$ mcr decw$cardfiler filename
