The following DCL-commands are an example. The OPEN command behaviour is very confusing, it tells you it can't find the directory while it should end up with a privilege violation, like the TYPE command does. $ sh log useral "USERAL" = "SYS$LOGIN_DEVICE:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) = "USER01:" = "USER02:" = "USER03:" = "USER04:" = "USER05:" = "USER06:" = "USER10:" 1 "SYS$LOGIN_DEVICE" = "USER01:" (LNM$JOB_803AFF90) 2 "USER01" = "KUBHC1$DUA1:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) 1 "USER01" = "KUBHC1$DUA1:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) 1 "USER02" = "KUBHC1$DUA2:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) 1 "USER03" = "KUBHC1$DUA0:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) 1 "USER04" = "KUBHC1$DUA7:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) 1 "USER05" = "KUBHC1$DUA6:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) 1 "USER06" = "KUBHC1$DUA8:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) 1 "USER10" = "KUBHC1$DUA10:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) $ type useral:[s211.kees]ident.com %TYPE-W-OPENIN, error opening USER01:[S211.KEES]IDENT.COM;2 as input -RMS-E-PRV, insufficient privilege or file protection violation $ open/read tmp user01:[s211.kees]ident.com %DCL-E-OPENIN, error opening USER01:[S211.KEES]IDENT.COM; as input -RMS-E-PRV, insufficient privilege or file protection violation $ open/read tmp useral:[s211.kees]ident.com %DCL-E-OPENIN, error opening USER10:[S211.KEES]IDENT.COM; as input -RMS-E-DNF, directory not found -SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file Have I missed something in the documentation (I studied DCL-dictionary and File applications) or is there anybody who could explain this ? -------------- Kees Noyens Tilburg University Netherlands
