1.9 GNV problem with bash statement "Document here"

[Alex Chupahin]

This is bash script:

cat >file.out <bla-bla-bla
1234
ENDFILE
cat file.out

When finished, I can see only empty file.out.
What it is wrong?
Of course, this code works in unix nicely and previous GNV 1.6 also.

best regards,
Alexey

This is known to be broken for some while. Contact HP and file a problem report.

The files are created, they are in /tmp, aka sys$scratch. Check for files with prefix SH and the process id (PID) or a substring of the PID. You can work around this with something like

cat /tmp/sh*$$. >file.out
rm /tmp/sh*$$.

If you use configure which usualy has lots of these here documents, you need to have them all changed.

Does GNV 2.1 have the same problem?

[Alex Chupahin]

Yes. This error continues from 2.0
and it is impossible any useful using.
Very strange. I've forced back to 1.6-2 on Alpha and Itanium :(
