    Could you be a little more specific about the problem? I will try
    to duplicate, but if I can't I may need to look at the files.

What is the "file not found" that the text formatter complains about?
 <_Jym_>

    This is the log file for a .com file  used in batch. (edited for
    relevance and readability). The file it can't find is the ~.brn
    one.  Today I ran a reduced version of the .com (including the files 
    with an * below) without problems. There are no formatting errors in
    the file that either document or tex kick up at.

Is it because the vax document user guide part 1 ft test draft 
pp13-239 reads

...Main entry <subentry>subentry...

but should read as per pp9-6 of the same volume

<X>(file structure designators<XSUBENTRY>See also header Blocks)


(Ed services here in the Springs pointed this out)


regards ---gic

    I don't think the <xsubentry> is the problem as I am not using it
    (unless that is the problem....) All the entries are <X>(whatever)
    Putting in all the <xsubentry>(???) will be part of my next editing
    sessions.
    
    What has hasn't made indexing so far.

    	[9 ch + 2 appendix includes .tex throughout]	no go
     	[9 ch no appendix still includes .tex ]		no go
    	[7 ch no appendix still includes .tex ]	 	ok
    		The chapters removed included tables (as do many other
		chapters - although they are a bit bigger) but nothing 
    		else different.
    
    	Still trying to isolate it.
    Kevin m

    I have eliminated appendices as the problem. I made the appendices
    into chapters and still no index - same error as before. (Incidentaly
    a second person here is having a similar no index problem on a different
    book.)
    
    After a talk around here the possibility of <table> constraints in
    a single <element> arose. So I have just finished editing one of
    the (old) appendices into 5 new smaller appendices - each one table
    only.
    
    Kicked it off and got the following error. I looked at the file
    - couldn't see anything wrong so kicked off again. Same error. 
    Commented it out in the <profile> and then the next <element> caused 
    the same error. I can't find this error in the manual so have no
    idea what it represents.

    There are still no <xsubentry>'s (tried them, got the above error
    and took them out till I get it going).

    regards
    Kevin M

    

    Better send the file that gives the PAS-VARINDVAL to me.
    
    VAXUUM::KOHLBRENNER

    
    we should probably look at all the files in order to track down
    the indexing problem.

    re PAS-VARINDVAL in .6
    
    This was caused by a <comment>(   that was not terminated occurring
    in an <element> of a <profile>. (these were in the appendix files,
    I assume in the attempt to not use appendixes because of the index
    problems...)
    
    Now am working on the original problem of index entries...
    
    pa

    re .9. Thanks Patti. Fixed that problem.

    Have something more for you though.
    
Well in trying different things to find this indexing problem I figured 
I would kick of a (big) batch job consisting of 13 passes of the bookbuild. 
Each pass would have a different chapter <comment>'ed out to see if 'this' 
one was causing the problems. It didn't -  however another problem arose that
may(not) be related. On pass 10 ACP gave an error as unable to find DECLOGO. 
All subsequent passes suffered the same error. I have checked and DECLOGO is 
still there.

I edited the batch log (readability and relevance) and it follows the page 
break. Hope this helps.

Passes 12 and 13 look similar to this pass.


        

    I am not sure whether you fixed the problem with finding the .brn
    file or not.  I found the problem in mine and I think you have the
    same problem.
    
    I have defined in my login.com the following command:
    
    $ define my_disk wrkd5$
    
    I have a .com procedure that says
    
    $ set def my_disk:[amend.whaterver]
    
    When I log on and say set def [amend.whatever] I have no troubles
    with index.  However, if I move around and say
    
    $ set def my_disk:[amend.whatever]  I get a .br instead of a .brn
    file when I run index.  I noticed that the logical on the first
    note was there and not an actual.

    Bless you a thousand times! I have finally (I think we've been at
    this for almost a year, off and on) been able to reproduce the
    problem on our base level 7. Using the same command sequence,
    the problem does *not* occur on the development base level,
    which means, I think, that we've done it !
    
    (The problem was not resetting the buffer length for the filename
    when a logical name is in the file-spec string.)
    
    -patti
    

    One of the writers here cannot produce an index even on a single
    chapter.  The index entries are coded correctly as far as I can
    see.  We get a similiar error as mentioned above " can't find .brn
    file " but the wierd thing is that the file spec gets truncated.
    Example:
    
    The file is called 2222c3.gnc and when the /index qualifier is used
    it can't find the same 2222c3.brn file, instead it creates a 22.brn.
    and when I ran it on the profile:
    it created a 2222.brn from the 2222igpro.gnc file.  So it looks
    like it's chopping off 4 chars to the left of the .???? That's the
    only problem I've seen so far.  I've been running and producing
    indexes fine.  I looked in her login.com, but am not sure what I
    should be looking for... any ideas?

    The answer is in .11 and .12; this was a bug that persisted through
    BL7, but I've had no reports of problems on BL8 systems.
