DECMATE II batch processing question

[gnupublic]

Hi,
Last year I got a ST-225 and build it into my DECMATE II. Then I installed OS278. Now I also installed CP/M80, DOS211 and MasterMenu, after I understood the concept of "Volumes" with Master Menu. I also created 3 further volumes to mount as RD51-RD53 (after "set handler RX01 RD5B").
Now I would like to mount these volumes in a batch script when starting OS278.

But I always get the same error, when running a very simple TEST.BI:

$JOB GREETINGS
.TYPE INIT.TX
$END

#BAD LINE. JOB ABORTED

This works under OS/8 without problems when just doing "SUBMIT TEST.BI".
But with the DECMATE II it will not run, also not with option /E.

A Batch with only $JOB and $END gives no ERROR, but with any command (.HELP, .DIR and so on) the ERROR comes up.
Would be great to get a hint....

Have fun,
Volker

Sometimes it is so simple, you don't get it.

In BATCH.PA of OS278 i found the following:


/05-AUG-82 VB0 CHANGES:

/ CHANGED MONITOR PROMPT FROM "." TO ">"
/VB1 CHANGED MONITOR PROMPT FROM ">" TO "}"
/

And yes, with OS278 the monitor promt is "}". so I simply changed this promt in my batch and it works!

Now ich made an INIT.CM containing the "SUBMIT TEST.BI" and put the mounts in it:

$JOB
}MOUNT 1:OS279
}MOUNT 2:OS280
}MOUNT 3:OS281
}TYPE HELLO.TX
$END

When I start the DECMATE II now it mounts the volumes and I'm ready to go.

Have fun,
Volker
