We currently try to use MMS to keep our documentation up-to-date,
but found a funny behaviour today:
If I define
DOCUMENT /BATCH /more_qualifiers source.SDML doctype destination
to be the execution part of an MMS dependency table, the /BATCH
qualifier seems to be ignored - I get all DOCUMENT messages to
the terminal and must wait until all the tag translation, TEX
formatting, ... stuff has finished.
If I enter the *same* command interactively, the behaviour is as
expected.
Any ideas ?
Hans.

Bug, will be fixed for V1.0 -- Gee, this is an obscure
feature of MMS and was never tested for, thanks for pointing
it out.

| 460.3 | if f$mode() .EQS. "OTHER" then this must be MMS | WRONGO::PARMENTER | Wed Jun 03 1987 16:25 | 5 | |
In case you were wondering, the problem was that in MMS, f$mode()
returned "OTHER" rather than "INTERACTIVE" or "BATCH", I always
wondered what "OTHER" could possible mean, and now we know.

| 460.4 | Maybe a related problem | CONRAD::SERACK | Ken Serack | Wed Jun 03 1987 16:51 | 17 |
We are also having a problem with document and mms.
It seems that if I do:
$ document file doctype dest /NOLOG
as my mms command line, I get a lot of 0 length records in the output
stream during text formatting. Actually the log file contains 0
length records even outside of mms. They do not show up when you
type the file, but if you do a dump/record, all of the records are
shown and there are a lot of 0 lengths.
Is it possible that TEX is outputting 0 length records for some
reason, and could they be turned off?

Yes that is fixed too. No the problem was not related.
