A list-owner who has several filelists was attempting to add a new entry to a filelist named SYLLABI FILELIST. Inadvertently she used alpha o's in the filetype when she should have used numeric 0's. Therefore, when she PUT the actual file (whose filetype has numeric 0's in it) and then tried to GET it, she received a message says file not yet available. Then she sent a REFRESH filelist command to Listserv and Listserv sent back messages indicating there were no entries for *any* of the previously stored files (plus the one that had just been PUT!) Bottomline: No one can GET any of the files from this filelist now. BTW, I got a backup copy of the SYLLABI FILELIST file, corrected the invalid entry, (using Xedit) and first attempted to use LSVPUT SYLLABI FILELIST(PUT, to create a valid filelist file. Listserv said LSVPUT is not a valid command (amony other things.....) So I used the PUT command (without the PUT option) and Listserv seemed to accept this just fine! HOWEVER, when I got a copy of the "changed" filelist, this is now it looked: * SYLLABI FILELIST for [log in to unmask] * SYLLABI FILELIST for [log in to unmask] * SYLLABI filelist * ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: * * The GET/PUT authorization codes shown with each file entry describe * who is authorized to GET or PUT the file: * * ALL = Everybody * N/A = Not Applicable * * ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: * ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: * * The GET/PUT authorization codes shown with each file entry describe * who is authorized to GET or PUT the file: * * ALL = Everybody * * ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: * * * If an entry shows nrecs=0 the file is not available. * * This filelist may be sorted in columns 47 to 63 to get a list of * files in the order of their updates.
