Dayna, your filelist does not actually exist. By that I mean that you
have created an entry in LISTSERV FILELIST for it, and you have taken
steps to have postings archived, but you have not created a 'listname
FILELIST' file. Because of this, the corresponding entry in LISTSERV
FILELIST stays blank.
However, it is generally not necessary to create or define a 'listname
FILELIST' for list archives. If you just create a new list and enable
archival of postings, LISTSERV will automatically generate a "virtual"
filelist whenever someone does an 'INDEX listname' (or any similar
command). This virtual filelist does not exist on the disk, because it
contains zero information (since it is built from the output of a
LISTFILE command and the value of a couple list keywords); keeping it on
the disk would not only mean a waste of disk space, but also extra CPU
time and I/O since the file would have to be updated every time a new
posting is archived.
You have two options:
1. Create a 'listname FILELIST' containing entries for whatever you want
EXCEPT the archive files. LISTSERV will automatically append "virtual"
entries to it for all the LOGxxxx files it generates.
2. Delete the entry for 'listname FILELIST' in LISTSERV FILELIST. A
virtual entry for 'listname FILELIST' automatically exists in NOTEBOOK
FILELIST. That is, you really don't need to worry about the 'listname
FILELIST' at all when you set up a list for archival.
