Not to worry.
It is NOT a forum rule, just common courtesy.
To type in a reply quickly takes a few minutes. If that reply has already been given (and ignored! ;-) in a different place, then that's a waste of time.
So if you cross-post in the hope of hitting a different audience, then be sure to put a pointer to the other places.

Anyway... the posted data show the BLOCKSIZE was 8192.
So now you go try Jon's suggestions again with that value, or try my program.

Also... why the &@#&(! did yo not post the full block dump, or at least attach a .txt file with the full dump after posting the critical first part.

I _know_ this will help
Cheers,
Hein.

what program u mean? sorry Sir, Im newbie for VMS still Learning bout VMS 2 Weeks. btw r u from germain? im from indonesia :)

[Steven Schweda · Accepted solution]

Once again, slowly:

Download:

http://antinode.org/ftp/fixrec/fixrec.exe_decc

Then:

mcr []fixrec.exe_decc SYS$GENERAL5:[000000]RPRSYJUL1991.BCK

The FIXREC program should report a new record
size, probably 8192, and then the BACKUP
command should work. If not, report back
here exactly what you did, and exactly what
happened when you did it.

Either Steven's program, which was the very first reply and would solve yoru entire problem if acted upon correctlty.
Or the program I refered to in my first reply. Either will fix the problem you are facing in one go, ... if it is just the blocksize thing. Just go back, read and execute.

'van' = Dutch (or Belgium .... )
'von' = German (or Austrian or ...)

Indonesian food is a big specialty in Holland. That old colonalism was at least good for something.

Sir Steven,

BDKVXA> mcr FIXREC.EXE_DECC SYS$GENERAL5:[000000]RPRSYJUL1991.BCK
%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image FIXREC.EXE_DECC
-CLI-E-IMAGEFNF, image file not found $10$DIA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSEXE]FIXREC.E
XE_DECC;

Thanks.

[Steven Schweda]

That's why the suggested command began:

mcr []fixrec.exe_decc

not:

mcr fixrec.exe_decc

The "[]" was significant.

Or, you could copy fixrec.exe_decc to
$10$DIA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE]. Your
choice, but you need to do one of them.

Sir, Steven.
