[Info-vax] Odd Autogen error.

[Andrew Armstrong]

I am getting an odd error in autogen:
%AUTOGEN-I-BEGIN, GETDATA phase is beginning.
%RMS-F-CHK, bucket format check failed for VBN = 13
%AUTOGEN-I-BADFILE, Bad versions of SYS$SYSTEM:PARAMS.DAT may exist.
        We recommend that you delete all versions and start again.
%AUTOGEN-F-ERROR, GETDATA phase was aborted due to an unexpected
error.
%RMS-F-CHK, bucket format check failed for VBN = 0
%RMS-F-CHK, bucket format check failed for VBN = 0
There is one case on itrc that had a similar message, but it was
caused by a mount command in file that autogen had to read in. All of
my mount commands are in systartup_vms.com, so I don't think that is
the problem here. This is OpenVMS VAX 7.3 with no patches installed,
running on SIMH under windows. The SIMH drive images are on a USB
drive.

 The error seems to have been caused by this line here, as the the
next line in the log is %RMS-F-CHK, bucket format check failed for VBN
= 13
READ/END_OF_FILE=getdata_specials190 tempfile record
this is my modparams, don't know if that is relevant:
SCSNODE="DUNES"
SCSSYSTEMID=1028
VAXCLUSTER=0
WINDOW_SYSTEM=1
ADD_GBLPAGES=10000
ADD_GBLSECTIONS=100
ADD_NPAGEDYN=800000
ADD_NPAGEVIR=800000
MIN_SPTREQ=6000
I am changing the SCSYSTEMID from 1029 to 1028 as I added wrong, and
adding the GBLPAGES,GBLSECTIONS,NPAGEDYN,NPAGEVIR, and the
MIN_SPTREQ=6000 as according to the instructions on
http://www.wherry.com/gadgets/retrocomputing/vax-simh.html. I have run
these instructions in the past, both on my VAX, and on several
different SIMH emulated vax, so I think that they are good...
