Well, after reading about the forgotten (to me) HOWMESSY utility, I 
decided to try it myself and see what our databases looked like 
(being forewarned by Art, I was prepared for the worst).  We have 
two major databases in our manufacturing system (thoughtfully named 
MMSDB1 and MMSDB2).  I can scan MMSDB2 with HOWMESSY, but I get the 
following error with MMSDB1:


:HOWMESSY.LIBRARY.REGO
HowMessy/iX/Copyright Robelle Consulting Ltd. 1982-1997
(Version 2.4.01 VAR)
Licensee:  for customers of Adager

The HowMessy report is sent to :File LoadRept (default is $STDLIST)

Full report:  use info="p" for partial reports

Enter Database: MMSDB1
Error:  No match found for master dataset path

ABORT: HOWMESSY.LIBRARY.REGO

So, any helpful ideas?  (Please note the qualifier! :-))
