- I suspect that somewhere in your startup procedures you
- are using SYS$INPUT. Instead of SYS$INPUT which may point
- to the startup database, use SYS$OUTPUT which points to the
- console output.
-
- Normal .COM file: $ define sys$command "''f$trnlnm("sys$input")'"
- Startup .COM file:$ define sys$command "''f$trnlnm("sys$output")'"
