For the past 30 minutes are so, I have not been able to store a new filelist
for Temple's Research list on my listserv for reasons which elude me. I have
created many new filelists for list owners, but for some reason, my efforts
tonight are not working. I got a copy of the listserv filelist file and added
a line at the bottom to include a new filelist. The line has the required /F/
and I also put the revised listserv filelist back on listserv without
difficulty. I then sent a fileid for the new filelist which worked. I then
lsvput the new filelist and listserv said I had to GET it with the (CTL option
first. This was a surprise since the new filelist wasn't on listserv to get
yet. I tried getting the new filelist from listserv and of course, I was told
it wasn't there. Does anyone have any ideas on why listserv did this? Not
knowing what else to do, I logged onto listserv and created an empty research
filelist file for this new filelist. After I switched back to my postmaster
account, I got the new filelist from listserv with the (CTL option. When I
attempted to lsvput the new filelist on listserv, I got a message saying that
I could not put it there because I did not use the (CTL option on the get
command, BUT I DID USE IT! The proof of this is that a subsequent attempt to
get the new filelist off listserv resulted in a warning that the file was
already locked. What's going on? How can I get around this seemingly
circular problem and does anyone have any idea what caused it? Thanks.
