'   BACKUP and BTCROUT RMS Syntax Error?    The Question is:    O We have recently upgraded to VMS 7.3-1 and now my backup procedure is reporting N  the following disks errors.  I cannot find any documentation on these errors,M  can you help.  The command procedure runs backup and worked perfectly before   the system disk was converted to vms 7.3-1    ERROROS ARE:   9 %BACKUP-I-BTCROUT, routine *** ODS-5 RMS SYNTAX ERROR ***     AND    B %BACKUP-I-BTCROUT, routine *** ODS-5 RMS SYNTAX ERROR *** DISKSCAN    Regards,    Colin.     The Answer is :   3   %BACKUP-I-BTCROUT, routine ODS-5 RMS syntax error    F   This error indicates an error has occured within BACKUP, or an errorI   has occurred within the file structure of the target disk -- the latter I   can be fairly common, and can involve a hardware- or media-level error, <   or the presence of a bogus filename in the file structure.   H   Most typically, this BTCROUT error indicates a blank filename has beenJ   encountered.  There are applications which can (erroneously) create suchI   filenames, with PATHWORKS being one potential example, and applications G   can also certainly create such files under program control.  (Earlier ?   versions of BACKUP aborted when such files were encountered.)    F   As a start, please use the ANALYZE/DISK_STRUCTURE/[NO]REPAIR commandG   to verify and (if appropriate) to repair the disk structure involved. G   (If there are blank filenames found, please take steps to find and to E   remove them, in other words -- ANALYZE/DISK_STRUCTURE/REPAIR can be %   used to repair the disk structure.)    G   Please also verify the system error logs, seeking any errors relevent    to the storage subsystem.    @   Please verify you have the current mandatory ECO kits applied.   A   Please then contact the customer support center for assistance.    E   Should the errors be a result of a hardware error in the underlying D   storage and particularly for information on the bad block handlingJ   within OpenVMS, please see topics including (6926) -- without shadowing,I   errors detected are not corrected until the block is (re)written.  Also G   note that BACKUP is deliberately able to read data in the presence of H   disk errors, though the data may or may not be valid or correct.  (ForE   related details, see the HELP/MESSAGE FORCEDERROR error message and    recovery text.)       0  Answer written or last revised on  17-MAY-2004
