Stuff that I can't seem to duplicate and that I generally attribute to keyboard error or too much time in front of the terminal. If you're paying for VMS software support, you can hook up to DSNlink at no additional charge. If you're paying for software support and haven't hooked up to DSNlink, you're wasting a major portion of your support dollars. All you need is a phone line, a port on your VAX and a modem. DSNlink calls are made on an 800 number, so Digital picks up the tab.
Control is returned to DSNlink when the secondary requirements have been completed.
Once or twice a month I link up and look at the latest problems users have reported. Under earlier versions of VMS, a wildcard subdirectory purge would start at the specified top level directory and work downward. It looks at the subdirectories prior to executing and immediately aborts if it encounters any file access privilege errors. A decided change in behavior, and it explains something I thought was a delusion on my part. So, while renaming a file won't prevent it from being opened for execution by the queue manager, it could prevent it from being deleted.
