776.0. "Transfer User problem" by BIGUN::BRUCE () Tue Jun 02 1992 01:52

    ALL-IN-1 V3.0 Transfer User.
    
    Encountered same problem as note 387 in DIAMONDFT conference.  The
    submit of SM_PAT.COM fails with the error
    
    	Error - Failed to submit job to batch.
    
    It appears that this happens if the length of the ALL-IN-1 username and
    other fields is such that parameter 6 is split across the first and
    continuation lines of the submit command.
    
    My workaround was to edit SM_SUBMIT_TRANSFER.SCP to abbreviate the
    submit command qualifiers, but it will still fail with other field
    lengths.
    
    Is there a more reliable fix to this problem?

    >    Is there a more reliable fix to this problem?
    
    	Yes, submit a QAR.
    
    	By the way, if you get the "Failed to submit to batch" you can
    	press GOLD-W in V3.0 to see the DCL error text.

    Re .1,        
    
    Paul - I assume you mean SPR and not QAR since IOSG switched off the
    QAR system some two months ago? Or was this a trick to keep the bug
    count down (:==:)

    As has been said, Gold W gives no extra information.
    
    If tracing is turned on then the following is displayed on the screen
    for a successful run:

    Hi there!
    
    	Yes, QARs are for TeamLinks.... :-)
    
    	Your exit status is:
    
>write oamailbox "OA get #dcl_status = 230024"
    
    earo$ exit 230024
    %DCL-W-NOPAREN, value improperly delimited - supply parenthesis
    
    	The problem seems to be that plus + sign.
    
    earo$ print x.tmp/param=("foo"-
    _earo$ +"bar")
    %DCL-W-NOPAREN, value improperly delimited - supply parenthesis
     \foo+"bar"\
    earo$ print x.tmp/param=("foo"+"bar")
    %DCL-W-NOPAREN, value improperly delimited - supply parenthesis
     \foo+"bar"\
    
    
    	Not sure where that + came from, although I seem to remember
    	a DIAMOND change around long DCL line processing.
    
    	Change the following lines of SM_SUBMIT_TRANSFER.SCP
    
       get oa$dcl='a1submit/noprint/noidentify' -
                    '/after=' #tx_dt -
                    '/name=' #job_name  -
                    '/queue=' #queue_name  -
                    '/log_file=' #log_file -
                    '/user=' #batch_vms -
                    '/parameters=' #param_list -
                    ' ' #tx_file
     **** TO ****
    
       get oa$dcl='a1submit/noprint/noidentify -'
       get oa$dcl=  '/after=' #tx_dt '-'
       get oa$dcl=  '/name=' #job_name  '-'
       get oa$dcl=  '/queue=' #queue_name  '-'
       get oa$dcl=  '/log_file=' #log_file '-'
       get oa$dcl=  '/user=' #batch_vms '-'
       get oa$dcl=  '/parameters=' #param_list '-'
       get oa$dcl=  ' ' #tx_file
    
    	This is untested, but I think it should do the trick (famous last
    	words!) This change makes DCL stick the lines together instead
    	of ALL-IN-1 (and I implicitly trust DCL!)
    
    	We still need a bug report to get it fixed though.
    
    Regards,
    Paul
    
    PS	Note to the engineer that fixes this problem... :-)
    	SM_SUBMIT_TRANSFER.SCP should be changed to call SM_SUBMIT.COM.
    	This will give the better GOLD-W error reporting.
776.7Partial test OKSAHQ::WOLFEJohn Wolfe - (404)-924-6463Wed Jun 03 1992 17:2021
	Hi Paul

	We tested the following yesterday and it seemed to work:

    get oa$dcl='a1submit/noprint/noidentify' -
		'/after=' #tx_dt -
		'/name=' #job_name  - 
		'/queue=' #queue_name  -
		'/log_file=' #log_file -
		'/user=' #batch_vms '-'
    get oa$dcl=	'/parameters=' #param_list -
		' ' #tx_file
    
    
>    	We still need a bug report to get it fixed though.

	This was IPRd yesterday w copies to the CSC/AT.  There doesn't seem
to be an electronic means of doing QARs (at least none that I know of).
