Can anyone tell me if this is in all System Vs, or just SCO Xenix. The problem is that if you create an SCCS file with the "n" flag (create null deltas for skipped over releases) and then actually try to use the feature, you wind up with a corrupted SCCS file. The corruption appears to be related to the creation of the null delta. Look for the line with "AUTO NULL DELTA". The previous line is corrupted. -- Script is typescript, started Wed Nov 28 00:50:36 1990 rpp386-> date > foo rpp386-> admin -ifoo -fn s.foo No id keywords (cm7) rpp386-> rm foo rpp386-> get -e -r3 s.foo 1.1 new delta 3.1 1 lines rpp386-> date >> foo rpp386-> delta s.foo comments? added another date No id keywords (cm7) 3.1 1 inserted 0 deleted 1 unchanged rpp386-> prs s.foo ERROR [s.foo]: format error at line 6 (co4) rpp386-> cat s.foo ^Ah19610 ^As 00001/00000/00001 ^Ad D 3.1 90/11/28 00:51:11 jfh 3 2 ^Ac added another date ^Ae r (cm1)^Ad D 2.1 90/11/28 00:51:11 jfh 2 1 ^Ac AUTO NULL DELTA ^Ae ^As 00001/00000/00000 ^Ad D 1.1 90/11/28 00:50:47 jfh 1 0 ^Ac date and time created 90/11/28 00:50:47 by jfh ^Ae ^Au ^AU ^Af n ^At ^AT ^AI 1 Wed Nov 28 00:50:40 CST 1990 ^AI 3 Wed Nov 28 00:51:02 CST 1990 ^AE 3 ^AE 1 rpp386-> exit Script done Wed Nov 28 00:51:29 1990 -- John F.
