	I am currently working a customer issue that concerns a problem with a 
user action routine dispatch.  Seems that the ENS component can't create the 
temporary command procedure in "CONSOLE$TMP:" for some reason.  I've searched
the V1.5 MUPA listings for the error status that the logfile contains but 
didn't find it.  We've check file protections/ownerships/etc. but couldn't find 
anything "obvious."  I've also proved that the filter is working by association 
the canned MAIL action routine with the filter he's using and MAIL is being 
delivered.  
	Anyone out there have a "good guess" or "a clue" as to what ENS is 
choking on?
Thanks,
Dennis

    You can turn on debugging by using the following:
    
    $ define console$debug ens
    
    You'll have to restart ENS for this to work. The output log file is 
    in console$tmp. You can look in there for clues.
    
    It also looks like you are out of rev. 6.11 is the latest version.

| 997.2 | Sorry for not mentioning that in the base note... | CSC32::D_DONOVAN | SummaNulla(The High Point of Nothing) | Thu Sep 21 1995 16:03 | 9 | 
| re: .1 Sorry that I didn't state that explicitly but CONSOLE$DEBUG is currently defined as "TRUE,ENS,ACTION". The logfile fragment you see in the base note is a result of that. Any other ideas concerning the error number? Dennis | |||||

    You have an invalid character in your command procedure action
    routine name. you can verify this yourself:
    
    create F&A_TAPE____001.COM
    %CREATE-E-OPENOUT, error opening F&A_TAPE____001.COM as output
    -RMS-F-SYN, file specification syntax error
    
    Looks like ENS should have given a better error description.

| 997.4 | Yes sireee... | CSC32::D_DONOVAN | SummaNulla(The High Point of Nothing) | Mon Sep 25 1995 12:54 | 11 | 
| re: .3 Good call! That was the problem. Seems that the name of the action had a "&" in it however the actual command procedure did not. Since removing the "&" from ALL PCM database items - things are working. Thanks, Dennis P.S. Yes it would be nice if the error signaling was a LOT better. | |||||
