    I'm having a problem with the EXTRACT function with the /OUTPUT
    qualifier.  If I do the following:
    
    $ console extract/since=1-MAR-1995/before=10-MAR-1995/output=foo.log
    
    I end up with an empty output file even though there should be data
    between the two dates.  If I leave off the /output=foo.log qualifier,
    then the data is correctly displayed on my terminal!
    
    I can get different results by manipulating the /since and /before
    switchs and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  I have not
    yet figured out the exact circumstances of when it works and when it
    doesn't but in all cases where the /output is NOT specified, it seems
    to work fine.
    
    I am using V1.5 of PCM (with MUP installed) running on V6.1 of OpenVMS.
    
    Is there a know problem with this?

| Larry, This isnt a known problem, can you please raise an IPMT and I will work on it as soon as I get the time. Cheers, Phil | |||||

|     I will experiment a little more to try to get a reproducable case and
    submit it as an IPMT.

| 647.3 | No output to /OUTPUT...Gee, that looks familiar... | STEVMS::PETTENGILL | mulp | Thu Jun 08 1995 03:28 | 6 | 
| With VCS, $VCS REVI system/OUTPUT=bogusfilename results in a silent failure to output anything. This gets particularly confusing when using something like /OUTPUT=node"user pass"::device:[dir1.dir2]file_specificiation.something as its easy to foul up with such a long string and terminal wrap. Could this be a problem with PCM? | |||||
