  Debugging DCL? 
 The Question is:
 
When running a command procedure that contains a line like:
    if f$search("path:*.*;*") .eqs. "" then goto x
 
If I run this from my account it seems to work fine however if another person
 runs it from their account it aborts with a "set-e-searchfail" error msg
 followed by a file not found.
 
Could this be a quota issue?
 
Thanks
 
 The Answer is :
 
  An error from within the DCL SET facility has little direct
  involvement with the f$search lexical function.
 
  As for reasons why the f$search might not return what you
  expect, check for other errors during the login or during
  the procedure invocation -- and determine if the PATH logical
  name referenced by f$search is defined in the target context.
 
  Please use SET VERIFY and related mechanisms to debug the
  activities of the DCL command procedure.
