[Info-vax] How to tell SET COMMAND where the .EXE file is?

   I see no evidence of that.

   Are you running the pre-built executable from eighteen years ago, or
the one which you built today?

   I don't know.  Just as I don't know what you found where.  Are you
too lazy to write a proper problem description, or do you not know how,
or what?

   If I got that, then I might start by removing the "/notraceback" from
"descrip.mms", perhaps adding a "/list", building the thing from source
(as shown in "[my] procedure"), and trying my freshly built executable
(not some antique).


   It might be worth noting that you're working with an old,
ODS5-unaware program.  For example:

 ITS $ dire ITS$DKA0:[SMS.IZ.vlfn]

Directory ITS$DKA0:[SMS.IZ.vlfn]


very_long_file_name_very_long_file_name_very_long_file_name_very_long_file_name_
very_long_file_name_very_long_file_name_very_long_file_name_very_long_file_name_
very_long_file_name_very_long_file_name_very_long_file_name.txt;1

Total of 1 file.
ITS $ dirsort ITS$DKA0:[SMS.IZ.vlfn]

Directory ITS$DKA0:[SMS.IZ.VLFN]

%SYSTEM-W-BADFILENAME, bad file name syntax
ITS $
