$ SET HOST will take input from a file but $ SET HOST/DTE won't.
Is there a way to fool SET HOST/DTE into taking input from a file.
My reason for trying this is that I'm trying to get up to LTA1000
on my �Vax in an attempt to reproduce a bug reported. I have
borrowed a DECserver 100 from comminications and have my a �VAX hooked
up to it (via tta1). $ Set Host/Dte/nolog TTA1 gets me to the
DECserver and I can get to other machines from there.
A regular set host isn't good enough to reproduce the problem as
you can't get 1000 users on a system and lower RTAnnn's get reused
if you logout. Lower LTAnnn's don't get reused. Our cluster never
stays up long enough to get up that high and munging the data structure
that holds the device name was shot down in an earlier note.
I don't like the thought of logging in manually 1000 times to
do this so a command file that repeats it for me is what I'm getting
at but I've failed to make /DTE work.
Any help is appreciated,
..Dan
ps. there is a note in the LAT conference asking about going
directly to LTA1000.
pps. The problem

I've had a customer report a INVDEVNAM error when trying a generic PRINT
statement after logging into an LTA device greater than LTA999. Has anyone
seen this before and is there a fix coming 'round the pike?

Hmmm... I think I may know what is wrong. Note the change in device
name? Well, if you have the device before LTA999, the process has
reserved in the PCB seven bytes for the device name. Therefore,
the device will appear as LTA999:. Note that once you get to the
devices in the thousands, there is a *problem*. Now you still have
the seven bytes reserved for the terminal (PCB$T_TERMINAL), but
the colon is omitted.
If your application is trying to do anything peculiar where it assumes
the device, and there is no colon, that is where the problem would
occur.
Sorry, about this not addressing the problem with getting up to
unit 1000, but perhaps you may get some information from the above
description and not have to do the reproduction of problem.
BTW, I believe that you could have used LATCP and created an additional
port LTA1000, and logged into it as an appklication and gone from
there, instead of trying to get VMS and LTDRIVER to incrementally
increase the unit numbers that high...
