Re: error when initialize a hard disk on openvms
Your version of INIT.EXE does not match your version of DCLTABLES.EXE in the context of the current process.
Patch Problem ? Some SET COMMAND invoking a different/wrong DCLTABLES.EXE ?

Re: error when initialize a hard disk on openvms
Did you ever INIT a disk on this system ? Did it ever work ?
It looks like the command INIT/VOLUME_CHARACTERISTICS=[NO]SPECIAL_FILES might have been added via a patch (VMS83I_RMS-V0600) to OpenVMS V8.3. Is that patch installed on your System ($ PRODUCT SHOW HISTORY) ?
If you really need to INIT that disk and this command does not work on your current system, consider to boot from DVD and then init the disk.
Volker.

Re: error when initialize a hard disk on openvms
There was a BAD PATCH: VMS83I_RMS-V0500 !
Followed by a fix in VMS83I_RMS-V0600:
5.2 Problems addressed in this kit
5.2.1 INIT.CLD Omitted from VMS83I_RMS-V0500
5.2.1.1 Problem Description:
The VMS83I_RMS-V0500 patch kit shipped the new
[NO]SPECIAL_FILES volume characteristic but did not
include a new INIT.CLD file, causing the INIT command to
fail with the following error:
$ INIT $1$DGA1280: TEST1
%CLI-F-SYNTAX, error parsing 'SPECIAL_FILES'
-CLI-E-ENTNF, specified entity not found in command
tables
Images Affected:
- [SYSUPD]INIT.CLD
Obtain and install VMS83I_RMS-V0600. This patch is from 2008 - 11 years ago !
Volker.

SolutionOpenVMS patches are not publicly available anymore since a couple of years. You need an OpenVMS Software Support contract with HPE to obtain patches.
So maybe booting standalone from the V8.3 DVD may be your only alternative to INIT that disk.
