Hello all,
I am trying to install COBOL on emulated Alpha running on FreeAXP. I downloaded the cobol_compiler29.zip from the FTP site onto my Win10 host, wrote to an ISO, copied over to the Alpha. Unzip shows the right (and full) filenames but Product Install fails with:
PCSIUI-I-NOMATCH, no products were found matching: COBOL
I have tried everything I could think of (which is not much, when it comes to OpenVMS). I would greatly appreciate any pointers.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Ravi |

You don't provide much for us to go on here. For starts, post the exact commands and results that you get from those commands. That should give us enough to at least give you some ideas.
Thanks,
Dan |

Make sure your path name is good. Look at the /SOURCE qualifier. |

This what I did:
Copied the downloaded file to [tools]
$ unzip cobol_co_1.zip
$ create/directory [cobol29]
$ copy [tools]DEC*.*;* [cobol29]
$ dir [cobol29]
Directory SYS$SYSROOT:[COBOL29]
DEC-AXPVMS-COBOL-V0209-1453-1.PCSI$COMPRESSED;1
DEC-AXPVMS-COBOL-V0209-1453-1.PCSI$COMPRESSED_ESW;1
Total of 2 files.
The following are steps listed in the HP install guide:
$ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE
$ SET PROCESS/PRIVILEGE=(BYPASS,CMKRNL,SYSLCK,SYSPRV)
$ PRODUCT INSTALL COBOL/VERSION=2.9 /SOURCE=[cobol29]
%PCSIUI-I-NOMATCH, no products were found matching: COBOL
%PCSIUI-E-NOPROD, no products were found on which to perform this operation
%PCSIUI-E-ABORT, operation terminated due to an unrecoverable error condition
Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do.

All,
I got the installer to work by adding the sub-version/build to VERSION as below:
PRODUCT INSTALL COBOL/VERSION=2.9-1453 /SOURCE=[cobol29]
Thank you for taking the time to answer.
Regards,
Ravi |
