I don't know how many of y'all have been thinking about running LMail under VM/ESA Release 2.0. We have. The CP from VM/ESA R2.0 has been up for the past two weeks. Now, I'm moving the server machines from CMS Level 8 to CMS Level 9. When LMail runs under CMS Level 9, here's what happens: [begin LMail console log] 20 Feb 1993 01:15:45 LMail version 1.1c starting... 20 Feb 1993 01:15:45 (c) Eric Thomas 1992,1993 20 Feb 1993 01:15:45 + LISTSERV library from version 1.7e 20 Feb 1993 01:15:45 (c) Eric Thomas 1986,1987,1988,1989,1990,1991,1992,1993 20 Feb 1993 01:15:45 PASCAL code loaded at AA9000 - size 317k 20 Feb 1993 01:15:45 Loading DOMAIN TABLE... 20 Feb 1993 01:15:45 -> 173 exit instances. 20 Feb 1993 01:15:45 Loading BITEARN TABLE... 20 Feb 1993 01:15:45 Loading DOMAINH TABLE... 20 Feb 1993 01:15:45 Loading HOST TABLE... 20 Feb 1993 01:15:46 -> 4234 exit instances, total 4407. 20 Feb 1993 01:15:46 Loading user preferences... 20 Feb 1993 01:15:46 -> 129 entries, table size 8k. 20 Feb 1993 01:15:46 Initialization complete. 20 Feb 1993 01:15:52 From ADMIN@USCVM: release 465 +++ Parse Value '('#rdrl 'from' LISTSERV')/('#rcptl 'from' LISTSERV')' with a'/'b 16 +++ If ^Datatype(stop,'B') DMSREX462E Error 15 running LSMSHOW EXEC, line 13653263: Invalid hexadecimal or binary string 34 +++ Call LSMSHOW origin 'SHOW RELEASE' DMSREX475E Error 40 running LSVCM1 EXEC, line 13656281: Incorrect call to routine 20 Feb 1993 01:15:52 >>> REXX error occurred while processing command <<< 20 Feb 1993 01:16:19 From ADMIN@USCVM: help 20 Feb 1993 01:16:36 From ADMIN@USCVM: show version 465 +++ Parse Value '('#rdrl 'from' LISTSERV')/('#rcptl 'from' LISTSERV')' with a'/'b 16 +++ If ^Datatype(stop,'B') DMSREX462E Error 15 running LSMSHOW EXEC, line 13656281: Invalid hexadecimal or binary string 20 Feb 1993 01:16:36 >>> REXX error occurred while processing command <<< 20 Feb 1993 01:18:03 From ADMIN@USCVM: stop 465 +++ Parse Value '('#rdrl 'from' LISTSERV')/('#rcptl 'from' LISTSERV')' with a'/'b 16 +++ If ^Datatype(stop,'B') DMSREX462E Error 15 running LSMSHOW EXEC, line 13656281: Invalid hexadecimal or binary string 465 +++ Parse Value '('#rdrl 'from' LISTSERV')/('#rcptl 'from' LISTSERV')' with a'/'b 16 +++ If ^Datatype(stop,'B') DMSREX462E Error 15 running LSMSHOW EXEC, line 13656281: Invalid hexadecimal or binary string 20 Feb 1993 01:18:04 To ADMIN@USCVM: STOP command accepted, logging off. [end of LMail console log] I was moving several servers from CMS Level 8 to CMS Level 9, so I happened to move Listserv at roughly the same time as I moved LMail. Listserv seemed to weather the change better than LMail--at least, I got the response that I expected from the Listserv Show command, including the note about it running in an "unsupported environment". I've moved them both back to CMS Level 8, only because I know that they both share a common programming root. !Mike
