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.
