Here is a simple question that I would like addressed. While examining the lsv_out.log file, I came across this. What does the Flags field mean? File size Usage Flags File name --------- ----- ----- --------- 1577k 1 U $4$DKB100:[LISTSERV.MAIN]GLOBLIST.FILE and this one; 25k 28 K $4$DKB100:[LISTSERV.MAIN]DEFAULT.MAILTPL One more thing. I cannot find anywhere, in any documentation on-site or on your web site about how to solve certain problems. Listserv resides on an alpha with a VMS platform. Sometimes I receive error messages but I do not know how to get them resolved. For instance, I do not know what this type means; Serious error occurred - traceback follows ------------------------------------------ >>> Error X'0028005B' updating file $4$DKB100:[LISTSERV.MAIN]L-AMNET.LIST <<< -> Severity: Error -> Facility: LFxxx routines -> Abstract: File not opened in update mode -> I/O mode: Record read + update Summary of resource utilization ------------------------------- CPU time: 0.040 sec Device I/O: 9 Overhead CPU: N/A Paging I/O: 8 CPU model: AlphaServer 1000A 4/266 (256M) DASD model: SEAGATE ST15150N I cannot see any problems with the list itself. My only guess is whether or not listserv looks for the <listname>.list;1 file as opposed to the <listname>.list;2 or <listname>.list;3 files. I do not think this is it. I have been getting these messages more and more frequently and do not know what to do. Please advise. Thanks. Brian McNamara [log in to unmask]
