Fellow listers,
In addressing a specific task, It became apparent that the longer file
names available in the 'posix' domain would be very useful. I decided to
have the script that I'm developing attempt to build a file and check any
error codes to determine if a certain change had already occurred.
The 'build' statement that I'm using is of the form:
"build ./!hpjobname_!hpuser_!hpaccount"
However, I keep getting the following error:
:build !["./"+"!hpjobname"+"_"+"!hpuser"+"_"+"!hpaccount"]
NS3000 IS NOT PRESENT ON THE SYSTEM (FSERR 423)
build ./XTIDIS_MANAGER_SYS
Build of file "./XTIDIS_MANAGER_SYS" failed. (CIERR 279)
BTW from the following three commands the only one that is failing is #3:
1) build ./xtidis
2) build ./xtidis_manager
3) build ./xtidis_manager_sys
When I try to use the 'posix' 'touch' utility to perform a similar 'build'
I get the following error:
:xeq touch.hpbin "xtidis_manager_sys"
TOUCH.HPBIN.SYS: file "xtidis_manager_sys": Filename too long
Any Ideas? I thought the posix file name size limit on MPE is in the 250+
characters range.

Paul Christidis
