Hi VMS gurus,

I am very new to vms, I am trying to install a patch to VMS 7.3-2, the patch name is

DEC-AXPVMS-VMS732_UPDATE-V0800--4.PCSI$COMPRESSED

for decompressing it i tried to following commands

$ run DEC-AXPVMS-VMS732_UPDATE-V0800--4.PCSI$COMPRESSED

I got the following error
%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image
DEC-AXPVMS-VMS732_UPDATE-V0800--4.PCSI$C
OMPRESSED
-CLI-E-IMGNAME, image file

Could someone help on this issue, I am not sure wether I am giving the exact command.

Thanks in advanc my friends

.PCSI$COMPRESSED are handled directly by PCSI.

$ PRODUCT INSTALL VMS732_UPDATE

should be ok.

The VMS documentation site is at http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/.

See http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/83final/6048/6048pro_054.html#pcsi_util_chap for the install utility.

Review the output from the following:

$ PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT VMS/FULL

Verify that you have VMS732_PCSI V3.0 installed before attempting to install VMS732_UPDATE V8.0. If PCSI V3.0 is not installed, you will have to install it before installing UPDATE v8.
