OpenVMS8.3/Oracle RDB V7.2-130 - VAX Language-Sensitive Editor

[Michelle_68]

We are running OpenVMS V8.3 on an rx3600 server. We installed Oracle RDB V7.2-130 on the system. During the installation the following message was displayed:

SQL is not being installed with VAX Language-Sensitive Editor support because the Editor is not installed on your system. If you want the VAX Language-Sensitive Editor support you must do the following:
1. Install the VAX Language-Sensitive Editor
2. Re-Install

I found a sample install of Oracle RDB Install on the internet and we should be seeing:

SQL has been provided with Language-Sensitive Editor(LSE)support using the VMS LSE language.

%REGISTER-I-SUMMARY images examined: 1, dependent images: 0
%REGISTER-I-SUMMARY images examined: 1, dependent images: 0
%REGISTER-I-SUMMARY images examined: 1, dependent images: 0

The LSE seems to be installed on the server since we can use all the editors there. I assume that the LSE is part of the OpenVMS operating system.

Has anyone out there run into this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Watch the movie "Desk Set" for advice about

LSE is part of DECset

Do
$ sear sys$update:vmsinstal.history decset
to see if any part of DECset has been installed. If not then
$ SHOW LIC LSE
$ SHOW LIC VAXSET

to see if you have the license.

If your employer is a company member of the HP DSPP programme then DECSET can downloaded obtained for free.

Michelle,

there is absolutley no need to install LSE for running Oracle RDB. The installation procedure just informs you, that - if you want LSE support for SQL - you need to install LSE before installing RDB.

Ok, ok......I will not "assume" again. I guess the old joke holds true (ASS-U-ME).

Anyway, we do not have the license for LSE and will have to purchase it.

Thank you for your help once again. The links to the manuals were very helpful.

Wish I could give more than 10 points.

Thank you,
Michelle
