I've been working around a problem with c89 by logging in as manager.sys but I'd like to fix that before I hand this project over. With my own account I can't run a hello world C program created by c89 in "sh". If I log in as manager.sys, the program works. I'd done a search in the archives and found someone suggesting that I needed PH or PM capabilities. "listgroup ...." showed that I didn't have them. I've followed some instructions from our MPE guru on how to add these capabilities. Now all the other little two letter sequences have gone from listgroup but I do have "PM" and "PH". But I still can't run it. This is what happens - $ cd /tmp $ ./Z **** EXEC FUNCTION FAILED; subsys =517; info = 48 ABORT: /tmp/Z NM SYS a.01003770 dbg_abort_trace+$28 NM UNKN cf.010248e8 NM UNKN 1f6.0004dfb4 [1] + Done(134) ./Z 17563730 Abort ./Z $$ Any ideas?
