Listserv saw this as 2 seperate commands, and didn't know what to do
with the "command" "38061".
There are 2 ways to fix it.
1) Use continuation characters. Here is a bit from the List Owners
Manual:
Continuation cards can be used to split long commands (for instance, ADD
commands for users with long X.500 addresses) into two or more
80-character cards. In that case you must insert a "//<space>" string
before the first line of the command text and a space followed by a comma
at the end of all but the last line of the command text so that LISTSERV
considers the multiple lines to be a control card followed by
continuation cards, and performs the required concatenation. For
instance,
// QUIET ADD MYLIST [log in to unmask] ,
His Name
or, for instance, for a large GETPOST job,
// GETPOST MYLIST 10769-10770 10772 11079 11086 11095 11099-11100 11104 ,
11111 11115 11118 11121 11124 11131 11144 11147 11153 11158 11166 11168
2) Split the command into 2 commands. Using your example:
GETPOST SCHIZOPH 37966 37968 37979 37985 37995-37996 38028-38029 38031-38032
GETPOST SCHIZOPH 38061 38064 38092-38093 39004 39008 39026 39694 39935
P.S. Whats a SCHIZOPH?
