TCPIP V5.4 messes up with logical MSGHLP$LIBRARY

[Karl Rohwedder]

Just to inform you:
the TCPIP$STARTUP from V5.4 messes up with logical name MSGHLP$LIBRARY, instead of defining it as searchlist, it encloses it with "...", so calls to HELP/MESS will fail.
I logged a call to HP.

Karl,
Thanks for the note. You're correct, the code should be treating MSGHLP$LIBRARY as a search list. I'll make sure engineering see your report.

In the mean time, there shouldn't be a problem if you keep SYS$COMMON:[SYSHLP] as the first translation (default definition).

Fixed in V5.4 ECO 1 (when it's released)
