367.0. "COPY/CONCATENATE,REPETITIONS?" by KAOT01::E_SHALABY () Fri Mar 21 1997 15:46
  System is a VAX 4000-105A running VMS V6.2 in a VAXcluster.
 Hello,
I am using the COPY/CONCATENATE but as you can see the first 4 files are 
repeated twice.
any idea?
Thanks,

|  | Is ACL_DAT4 a search list?

| 367.2 | Part of Search List? | KAOT01::E_SHALABY |  | Tue Mar 25 1997 09:47 | 8 |

    Steve,
    
    Sorry to have taken so long to answer
    ACL_DAT4 is not a search list but is a part of ACL_DAT which is a 
    search list.
    Regards,
    Emad

   When there is a search list, one can see a particular action taken for
   each entry in the search list -- seeing multiple copies of a file on a
   BACKUP or similar operation is regularly noticed effect of this behaviour,
   and what you are seeing looks like a variant.
   Try to duplicate this behaviour without a searchlist involved.  (I suspect
   you will not be able to do so...)

    Can you reproduce this problem in house or is this a customer only
    problem?
    
    Searchlist is the most likely explanation. Can we see SHOW LOG/FU for
    all involved logical names? Does DIR also list the files twice? If
    searchlist really isn't involved then perhaps directory corruption has
    occurred.
