According to the documentation (Administrating Redback/Manually Creating an RBO Redback Account) a redback enabled account has to be PICK flavour.
But, according to a number of replies I had from this group a while back, I can enable any flavour account for redback. So, I enabled a PI/Open flavour account. And then tried to create my first module (both via the designer and also manually using CREATE.RBO.APP). I couldn't get this to work at all. After a lot of investigation it turns out that one of the redback programs attempts to create the module files (moduleOBJECTS, moduleDRIVERS, moduleLIB, etc) using the format: "CREATE.FILE filename 1,1,18". The problem being that in PI/Open flavour this format for specifying type, modulo & separation just doesn't work. The following error message is displayed when manually creating a file using that format: Invalid type entered. A valid file type must be an integer in the range 1 through 19, or 25, or 30. File type = It leaves the command prompting for a File type to be entered (which would be the reason I had to hit enter six times to get any response from CREATE.RBO.APP). I ended up having to programmatically intercept the CREATE.FILE commands to change the numbers around into the valid format CREATE.FILE filename 18 1 1. I wonder why PI/Open flavour doesn't accept the older format of the command? Or why the redback code doesn't cater for the fact and use the newer format. AdrianW DISCLAIMER: Disclaimer.
