    p_file_96 dies with `cobrun get_file_format < ${file}`: Ambiguous

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 18.01

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

    Resolution:
    The problem was due to extra Display lines in the /com/get_file_format.cbl program.

    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 than one string, the compare could not be done.

    Additional Information

    file 96, ambiguous
