  16. Frank et al, I apologize that everything
  17. I post to this newsgroup are problems I'm
  18. experiencing with C-Kermit.  I truly love
  19. the product and have little complaints!
  20.  
  21. Now to the problem...
  22.  
  23. I'm running...
  24. C-Kermit 5A(190), 4 Oct 94, for OpenVMS VAX
  25.  
  26. And created a text file called param.dat
  27. containing three small lines of text.
  28.  
  29. Then went into C-Kermit and did this...
  30.  
  31. C-Kermit>open read sys$login:param.dat
  32. C-Kermit>read \%a
  33. C-Kermit>echo \%a
  34.  
  35. C-Kermit>read \%a
  36. ?Read file not open
  37. C-Kermit>type sys$login:param.dat
  38. username
  39. password
  40. e-mail@address
  41. ---------------------------
  42.  
  43. I checked all the docs I have (THE book, the
  44. beware file for VMS, etc).  I didn't find any
  45. exceptions for READ for VMS.  The !READ works
  46. fine when I do this...
  47.  
  48. C-Kermit>open !read type sys$login:param.dat
  49. C-Kermit>read \%a
  50. C-Kermit>echo \%a
  51. username
  52. C-Kermit>read \%a
  53. C-Kermit>echo \%a
  54. password
  55. C-Kermit>read \%a
  56. C-Kermit>echo \%a
  57. e-mail@address
  58. C-Kermit>read \%a
  59. C-Kermit>echo \%a
  60.  
  61. C-Kermit>read \%a
  62. ?Read file not open
  63.  
  64. -----------------------
  65.  
  66. So why won't READ work in this case?  Is it possible my
  67. file attributes are what it needs to be for it to read
  68. the file correctly?  They are...
  69. MV80:[]$ dir /full sys$login:param.dat
  70.  
  71. Directory SYS$USERS:[HATCHER]
