[daip] Inconsistent behavior with LWPLA, LISTR

[SUSAN BILL WIDER]

Hi.

    I'm trying to crunch some recent VLBA data with 31DEC06 (on a Linux platform running Fedora Core 5).  However, I'm getting some inconsistent behavior with LWPLA and LISTR --- tasks that try to write to the printer.  For instance, with LISTR and DOCRT=-1

   ZLPOPN: ERROR 0 BUILDING FILE NAME, LNAME='LPRNTR'
   ZLPOPN: FORTRAN OPEN ERROR =  107 ON LINE PRINTER FILE =


   ZERROR: IN ZLPOP2 ERROR NO = 107 (Transport endpoint is not connected)


However, I just toggled to DOCRT = 1 and printed to the screen, then toggled back to DOCRT=-1 and the output went to the printer o.k.   I have seen a similar behavior with LWPLA.

Logicals 'LPRNTR' and 'PLOTTER' are set o.k.  The temp scratch area /tmp is set up correctly.  

The only issue might be that my printer is attached to a Win XP box across the room and it is shared under Samba.  

Under g77, I think run time error 107 is caused by a null file name under OPEN.



So, any suggestions?

                                      Bill
