The process management error reported is the same '18' as documented under
CREATEPROCESS which reads:
18 Process not created; specified $STDIN could not be
opened
The quick answer is that it sounds as if the STDIN you have told STORE to read
is being accessed by the initial instance of STORE in a way which conflicts with
the attempted access by the STORE surrogate.
It is possible that the 5.0 STORE opened STDIN slightly differently than 5.5 which
results in an error when the surrogate is created and inherits this redirection. I no
longer have access to 5.0 code so I cannot verify this and I do not find any reports
of similar difficulties in the support database.
If this could be the case then adjusting the file equation you might be using to
reference your input file could help.
I hope this is of some use!
