Hi.  Is there any INGRES expert out there who could help me with an error which
I am not able to comprehend myself?  

The problem I am trying to solve is as follows (briefly) :  I have a parser for
parsing a file to create a database using INGRES.  I have all this on the VMS
and am trying to create a library database.  The procedure is as illustrated
below.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ru parser
Enter input file          : library.isml
Enter output file (con:)  : out1.lib
Echo the input? (Y/N)     : n
Acknowledgements? (Y/N)   : y
Ingres tables dump? (Y/N) : n
Working .....

Can't create database directory 'DB_INGRES:[INGRES.data.lib1]'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Exiting CREATEDB

%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The database is not created and the system aborts.  Most of the comments are
not INGRES comments and are included in the PARSER to benefit the user.  My
question pertains to message by the INGRES.  Has anybody come across an error
of that nature and if yes, what is the reason?  

Thanks to all those of you who took time to look at the problem.  I would
appreciate any suggestions, however small they may be.  Bye.

Sujai Asur.
