   I have a question on the submit/remote command. We have a VAX 8250 runnning
VAX/VMS version 4.7 linked via decnet to a PDP-11 running RSX11m+.
   I am trying to get the PDP-11 to que a batch file on its end.

   On the VAX  I give the command:
        SUBMIT/REMOTE (node-name)"control string"::test.bat

   This operation fails with the following error messages:

%submit-e-closein,
    error closing (node-name)"control string"::device[uic]test.bat as input

RMS-E-SPL, spool or submit fo command file failed on $CLOSE
FAL-F-DAPFAIL, operation failed.

    The PDP-11 has a DCL that ultimately translates into MCR commands.

  Could anyone elucidate on what is happening? Why does $CLOSE fail? Or
at least point me proper referance manuals (I am not a systems programmer.)
Could it be that FAL.exe on the the PDP does not recognize this switch?
(Print/remote works just fine).

      Thanx in advance.
