Bill, I see you have received many responses some of which give some hints as to finding your missing verb so I will respond in general. I often copied accounts to new directories and had little trouble as long as you know what you are working with.
Remember that in UV the voc holds pointers to files (local and remote), commands (the VOCLIB file was mentioned by someone else), and cataloged programs. Here are some of the pointers I would make to you: - Run Update.Account AFTER copying the remote VOC. Any conflicts will be moved to a holding file where you can review them and copy them back to the VOC if appropriate. - Watch out for local files as copying the VOC does not copy the underlying files. I usually copied the account directories first at the OS level then created a new account that pointed to that new location. - Watch out for Remote files (Q-pointers or hard path pointers) that point to files that are part of your live application. You may need to create copies of these accounts too to completely replicate your application environment to provide a Sandbox account. - Write a program to remove all voc entries for programs cataloged from your application program files. Then re-catalog the libraries that you need. - DANGER!!!! Watch out for indexes in files copied!! In UV the file header contains the full path to the index as it was created. This will now point to the old account which will mess up your indexes. In the new account use the SET-INDEX command to reset or remove the pointer in the file header. - Watch out for any VOC entries that are part of the application you are copying. These might include control records and/or flags that may, themselves, have embedded file paths. I did not have many of these to worry about, but that could mess you up. The bottom line is that there is nothing in a simple UV account VOC that would prevent you from copying it. The problem lies in the application whose account you are copying and how complex that application is. As I said I have done this many times with an application that was made up of 2 accounts at a minimum with great success. If you have any specific questions I would be happy to respond. Out of curiosity what is the application whose accounts you are trying to copy? Rich Taylor | Senior Programmer/Analyst| VERTIS 250 W.
