I have enclosed the header at the end of this message for your reference. Another question: Besides listname FILELIST, and listname FILEID, is there an internal list that LISTSERV keeps and checks against when refreshing a list? If I delete a file from the FILELIST and refresh the list, I got this message: "Error in LSVFILID for file xxxxxxx". The owner had changed the archive from WEEKLY to YEARLY by mistake (! :)) and had to change it back, he took the two months worth of log file and broke it down to weekly logs, add the lines for the logs in the CHINA-ND FILELIST and sent the logs to listserv. I wonder if this can cause any problem. When refreshing the list, the file attributes like lrecl, time, and date fields are not filled in. Third question: Do I need to update the listname FILEID file for the owner every time he wants to add a new package? Neither he or I can get the file with TELL LISTSERV GET CHINA-ND FILEID. I could get it by the CMS SENDFILE and put it back with the PUTC option in the LSVPUT command. Am I doing something wrong? Should I add this file to some filelist for the owner to get?
