I'm trying to create a FILELIST so a list owner can create a WELCOME banner. I got the LSVOWNER package from LISTSERV at UBVM. I tried it, step by step. The steps are: ------------------------beginning of steps--------------------------- Steps for the LISTSERV Postmaster: ( 1) You must get the LISTSERV Postmaster to create the files: listname FILEID listname FILELIST ( 2) listname FILEID should have only one line in it which has a 1 in column 1. ( 3) listname FILELIST should look similar to the following: /F/ listname FILELIST ALL OWN . . . . . This file ( 4) The LISTSERV Postmaster then uses the following command to get the LISTSERV FILELIST: TELL LISTSERV GET LISTSERV FILELIST (CTL ( 5) The LISTSERV Postmaster then edits LISTSERV FILELIST to add the following line in the files area: /F/ listname FILELIST ALL OWN . . . . . This file Note: The /F/ must begin in column 1. ( 6) The LISTSERV Postmaster then uses the following commands to make this all work: LSVPUT listname FILEID (PUTC LSVPUT LISTSERV FILELIST LSVPUT listname FILELIST -------------------------end of steps----------------------------------- The "LSVPUT TES1-L FILEID (PUTC" worked fine, but I can't get the "LSVPUT LISTSERV FILELIST" to work. I get the following error mail (note, I want PRV instead of ALL, but I still get the same result with ALL). ---------------beginning of error mail------------------------------ Creation of new FILELISTs requires postmaster intervention: TEST1-L FILELIST PRV OWN . . . . . This file PUT request rejected. ------------------end of error mail--------------------------------------- Here is my LISTSERV FILELIST that I'm trying to LSVPUT: -------------------beginning of filelist------------------------------------ * * Master LISTSERV filelist * * This file lists the programs that are stored on LISTSERV and can be * retrieved by network users.

Thanks, in advance, for any assistance.
