Hi there. I tried to run PCAL in 31DEC15 today and got the following error:
localh> PCAL 1: Task PCAL (release of 31DEC15) begins
localh> PCAL 1: UVGET: Using flag table version 1 to edit data
localh> PCAL 1: PCLNDX: changing SOLINT from 5.000 to 0.444 minutes
localh> PCAL 1: Processing IF number 1
localh> PCAL 1: Processing IF number 2
localh> PCAL 1: ZOPEN: LUN = 28 ALREADY OPENED IN FTAB
localh> PCAL 1: SOUFIL OR ISTAB: ERROR 1 OPENING SOURCE TABLE
localh> PCAL 1: Purports to die of UNNATURAL causes
The tasks completes successfully if I run it in 31DEC14 with the exact
same inputs. The (very boring) inputs are:
