All -- If you are getting Alden's difax feed, you might want to check the pqact file since yesterday they changed the product header from 2nnn (like 2079 or 2125) to: /usr/local/ldm/data/difax/2nnn.g3Yes, the full local path name.I had to change my pqact file to look for this. I have sent a message off to Mark at Alden but I figured all should be alerted. --Bill Noon
Yes, and if you simply grab the header and append it to a directory name for your FILE command, you end up with a very strange directory structure inside your difax data directory which completely confuses programs that you have to process it. Took me a while to figure out just what was happening. We've modified our pqact to look for just the 2xxx.g3 at the end also.
DIFAX (2[0-9][0-9][0-9].g3) FILE -overwrite -close /prods/difax/g3/%y%m%d%H%M_\1 I assume this was an accident at Alden and it'll be fixed eventually since we don't really need to know which directory the data came from at Alden?
