I have sent the following message to Eric. I thought I would also ask the members of LSTSRV-L. I am not a subscriber to LSTSRV-L; all replies should be directed to [log in to unmask] Thanks. I am currently having a problem with LISTSERV. It seems that Listserv's A-disk (specifically the directory) is being corrupted by something. No other disk for any other machine is experiencing the same problem. Last fall, the A-disk suddenly had duplicate files for some, missing files for others, okay files for the rest. I went through a tedious exercise to make the A-disk viable again. Just recently, several directory entries have been corrupted such that some fileids are not displayable (and thus not obtainable) and the date and time fields are no longer numeric (causing program exceptions for a simple filelist). Obviously, Listserv cannot operate. I would like to know if there is any Listserv function (EXEC, etc) that directly writes to the mini-disk directory. I have some experienced VM people who are knowledgeable in EXECs that could help me work on the reason for my problem. I understand that you do not support the level of CMS (Rel 6) that I am running; we just need some direction to begin investigating Listserv functions and how they interact with IBM software. Thank you for your time. Terry Voss V2T@NIHCU (mail, messages) V2T@NIHCUSV1 (code, files)
