TYPE NODE"user pass"::"TASK=dcl"

True, but the failure symptom is different
(and more local). Same data, different names:

alp $ type alp::"task=task_long_name16"
ALP::"0=SMS/ÿÿTASK_LONG_NAME16"

alp $ type alp::"task=task_long_name_17"
%TYPE-W-OPENIN, error opening ALP::"task=task_long_name_17" as input
-RMS-F-DEV, error in device name or inappropriate device type for operation

Further conjecture with no new info may be
wasted effort.

Make sure the DCL file is in the default login directory and the filename is less than 9 characters


There is an elegant way around this (which may be preferable even when not needed for the above reasons):

DEFINE a logical name (max 9 chars) to point to the DCL file.

This is especially desirable if several users need the remote task, because defining ONE (system, cluster, group) logical to ONE file accessable to all intended users will do the job, in a maintainable manner.

Mario,

from your Forum Profile:


I have assigned points to 34 of 103 responses to my questions.

Some of those are quite old.

Maybe you can find some time to do some assigning?

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/helptips.do?#33

Mind, I do NOT say you necessarily need to give lots of points. It is fully up to _YOU_ to decide how many. If you consider an answer is not deserving any points, you can also assign 0 ( = zero ) points, and then that answer will no longer be counted as unassigned.
Consider, that every poster took at least the trouble of posting for you!

To easily find your streams with unassigned points, click your own name somewhere.
This will bring up your profile.
Near the bottom of that page, under the caption â My Question(s)â you will find â questions or topics with unassigned points â Clicking that will give all, and only, your questions that still have unassigned postings.

Thanks on behalf of your Forum colleagues.

PS. â nothing personal in this. I try to post it to everyone with this kind of assignment ratio in this forum. If you have received a posting like this before â please do not take offence â none is intended!

Proost.

Have one on me.

Mario,

Also watch the contents of your LOGIN.COM file. I have seen a wide range of possible errors generated when the LOGIN.COM files do erroneous things.

A first test is can you do a DIRECTORY remotely.
