Description:
In version 18, p_file_96 is crashing with an error `cobrun get_file_format < ${file}`: Ambiguous.

You can find a log file at $alephe_scratch/mit01_p_file_96.00066, or I can send it to you if desired. A small sample MARC file is at $data_scratch/uk0725.ord.gfund. This procedure is extremely important to us, as this is how approximately 70% of our orders are created.

Resolution:
The problem was due to extra displays that someone added to get_file_format.cbl (you can see the original file in get_file_format.cbl.keep.exlibris)
The program works correctly now.

From Tami:
The problem was due to extra displays that someone added to get_file_format.cbl (you can see the original file in get_file_format.cbl.keep.exlibris):
display "REC-IN-DOC-NUMBER= " REC-IN-DOC-NUMBER.
display "REC-IN-CODE= " REC-IN-CODE.
display "REC-IN-ALPHA= " REC-IN-ALPHA.

This program displays the format of a given file.
The script of p_file_96 compares the output of this program, and continues accordingly:
if ( `cobrun get_file_format < ${file}` == "MARC" ) then…

When the program displayed more then one string, the compare could not be done.

I ran:
walter-a18(2) >>csh -f $aleph_proc/p_file_96 USM01,jerout,tab_96_def,USM60,USM50,N,N,N,,N > /exlibris/aleph/u18_2/mit01/scratch/p_file_96_log_exlibris

You can see the log in /exlibris/aleph/u18_2/mit01/scratch/p_file_96_log_exlibris:
walter-18(2) MIT01-ALEPH>>grep cobrun p_file_96_log_exlibris
walter-18(2) MIT01-ALEPH>>tail p_file_96_log_exlibris
