    I have been trying to use the reports package for a while (finally with
    some success). It took me a while to realize that 1) I had to give the
    decnet address (2) I had to record the line "char" and (3) to set the
    line speed. Now some things work, but the hourly circuit reporting
    still fails with
    
    %SYSTEM-F-FILNOTACC, file not accessed on channel
    
    error message in the log file. This message is returned in response to
    the 
    $graph/load/nointer ...blah command in the com file. I didn't find any
    references to this message in this notes file. Any suggestions would be
    appreaciated.
    
    Also, the line reports (on a DR2000) have strange peak times. All the 4
    serial lines had peak traffic at the same time (coincidentally, this
    was the ending time for my "export"). This sounds like a bug. Any
    ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.

|     Anwar,
    
    I will look this up. These reports are generated using
    MCC_REPORTS_FILES:MCC_RPTS command file. I still think the peak times that 
    the report generates are suspect (not to mention inconsistent). As an 
    example, here is an excerpt from the generated report for a DR2000:
    
    Peak times		line
    
    11-feb-1992 17:00   syn-0
    11-feb-1992 17:00   syn-1
    13-feb-1992         syn-2	=====>>  notice that the time is not printed
    12-feb-1992 10:00   syn-3	                  
    
    
    The circuit graph reports have unprintable characters for dates/times.
    And the exporter when started uses up 100% of the cpu (this is a 3100),
    so for a network with a dozen DR2000's, export tends to be a
    performance issue (I hope this improves by SSB).
