Greetings!
I need to create a file with the filename of yesterday i. e. Today is the
24th. I need to create a file named 23_oct_2002.txt.
Any ideas as to how to do this (in VMS x= f$cvtime("YESTERDAY")?
Thanks in advance.

Subject: 4.0f cdfs bug
I'm looking for a way to get around this problem. We have
found
that until the cdfs.mod patch is installed, filenames that are
copied from
CDs come up with file dates of December 1969. It's easy enough to
patch
this after the OS is installed, but by then we have these filedates
all over
the system from the install.
What can I do to fix this? Someone suggested burning an
install CD
with a patched kernel on it, but I'm afraid that this might affect
the
patches, or the script that we use to install subsets after the base
OS is
there. Any other ideas?
thanks

Subject: SUMMARY: HSZ70 vs HSG80
Ok...restore problem solved!! Thanks go to Cory Erickson for
suggesting I
look
into the writeback_cache on the HSZ70 controller. Sure enough, it
was set
to
"nowriteback_cache". Once I changed it, the disks INSTANTLY jumped
up to
5000KB/sec (which may be slow still, but at least it's on par with
the
production machines).
Big thanks go to Charles Ballowe as well for suggesting I use
"collect" to
monitor the restores in the first place. What a wonderful program!!
Thanks to everyone else who responded as well.
