The error reporting is what is converting the word Down        JK> to DOWN, and adding the word FILES.               JK> This would probably be a bug in the version of Makenl_ng that is run here        JK> at 1:261/38 on my 64-bit system.               JK> The version of MakeNl run here is one that Andrew has asked me to test.               JK> MakeNL 3.2.15 (GNU/Linux GCC/Linux), compiled on Oct 16 2012 13:26:38               JK> Previous release versions of MakeNl gave the same FILES error when        JK> Unpublished was used in some instances.               I have looked into this a bit more and found that I was wrong. ;(               Reading comments on the Bugtracker page I found the following:               Details:              When processing a segment with a Down,-Unpublished- entry with AllowUnpub=0,       an error message is logged "Invalid keyword -- "FILES"" . This error message       needs to be corrected to indicate the true problem: ie: -Unpublished- is only       allowed with Pvt or Hold systems, per FTS-5000.002.              Reading documents is always good.              I did my first tests with makenl 3.2.9 from the Debian Wheezy distribution.               To get a proper nodelist I had to set the option Unpublished=1.        Under those conditions the above Error is a correct Nodelist entry.        And I wondered, why it was flagged as an error.               It appears the logic for processing with AllowUnpub=0 in makenl 3.2.9 is not        in compliance with FTS-500.002 or even worse.               You are/were running 3.2.15, so I went vor recent sources on Fourceforge,        where at the momnent the current version is 3.2.17.               By working with that version I was able to reconstruct the current nodelist        as it is with the following use of AllowUnpub               Zone1 segment - AllowUnpub=0        Zone2 segment - AllowUnpub=1        Zonex segment - not relevant        Composite file - AllowUnpub=1               As noted above AllowUnpub=0 will only allow -Unpublished- together with        Pvt or Hold. The above error is a combination of -Unpublished- Down, which        is not permitted by FTS-500-002.               With respect to the weird second error line "Invalid keyword -- "FILES"        I can only say, that as far as I can read/follow the code, that line is        correct. I agree with the bugreport, that a more relevant text would be        nice.               As a solution to to the error in the nodelist, either the compliance with        FTS-5000.002 can be lifted as is done for the Composite file, or RC17/NC153        bring the line in compliance, by setting the node on Hold.               As a last I would like to commend Andrew Leary for the state of the        current code.              Regards,       Kees van Eeten              --- FPD v2.9.040207 GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5        * Origin: My views are moderated by a virtual Penguin (2:280/5003.4)    |
