SCCS get filename lengths

Andrew.Rollins — Wed, 17 May 2006 03:07:00 GMT

When using get to get a read only copy of a delta from an SCCS file, if the name of the SCCS file is 35 or more characters (including the s.), the %S% expansion is corrupted and is replaced by part of the name of the SCCS file.

I am running the following "HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64 unlimited-user license"

I have got the PHCO_31582 patch.

Is this a limit in SCCS or a bug ?

Thanks in advance.

Andrew,
anything to do with auxiliary file format?

man get | col -b | sed '479,487!d'

Thanks for the quick repsonse, however, I do not see how it can be anything to do with those files. I have tried the get command with a s. file in the user home directory, with exactly the same result.

And I have also tried it as root, so there really should not be any issues with permissions either.

Any other thoughts ? Does it work on your system with an SCCS file called:
s.my_ac_get_floating_ip_netmask111
