    ALL-IN-1 2.4
    
    a customer has a business application that they wrote that does a SET
    HOST to another node.  however, when i try to run it i get the
    following message:
    
    	%SYSTEM-F-DEVACTIVE, device is active
    
    here is the lines from a trace...
    
    132       ! %OA-I-LOGFUN, Function: COMMAND         DIVISION$AT:AT.COM
    132       ! Command Procedure: DIVISION$AT:AT.COM
    $ @EU01:[US999999]AT.COM;
    $! AT.COM  /23-JUL-1993
    $!
    $!
    $!      WRITE OAMAILBOX "OA get OA$dcl='set host atlas'"
    $!      @DCLMAILBOX:
    $       SET NOCONTROL_Y
    $!      ASSIGN/USER 'F$LOGICAL("SYS$OUTPUT")'TT
    $!      ASSIGN/USER 'F$LOGICAL("SYS$OUTPUT")'SYS$INPUT
    $       SET HOST ATLAS
    %SYSTEM-F-DEVACTIVE, device is active
    135       ! %OA-I-LOGFUN, Function: CLEAR
    
    
    I've been told that it has worked for some users, but not others. this
    might not be quite true, cause i haven't seen it work yet.  we've tried
    it with the OA$DCL line uncommented and it still didn't work. I forget
    that error, but will try it in a couple of days.
    
    	thanks - ann
    

Ann,

You should set the ALL-IN-1 broadcast off before you do set host. Afterwards 
you should set broadcast on.

FYI There are some STARS articles about SET HOST in the subprocess.
