Hello shiftworkers,
I've noticed that in the calibration rz file production area
DISK$SCRAUSA4:[MACROCAL.RZCAL] there exist a rather huge FOR006.DAT
file with errors typically produced during the job that creates
the RZ files. This has accumulated all errors since 19-AUG-1999,
the time at which it was created.
The file has ~50,000 lines, so I can't really check it through manually.
At first look, the errors seem to be coming from network error that
may have lead to event skipped and/or complete abort of the program
execution.
If you have observed it and relaunched the job, that's most probably OK.
If you executed the job interactively and somehow you did not notice
what happened, then some RZ files thus produced should be incomplete.
You should ALWAYS launch the RZ file production as a BATCH job rather
than running it interactively. This is the only way we can have an
offline check of its output. If you absolutely need to run it interactively,
then you should be very careful in what comes out on the screen.
I have now renamed FOR006.DAT to FOR006_04AUG1999_TO_05FEB2000.DAT
so that any NEW error will create a new FOR006.DAT
