I have this anoying problem with a DATATRIEVE call in SPSSx that has popped 
up that I hope someone might be able to help me with.

HISTORY
-------

The software versions are as follows...

   VMS             5.5-2  H       Operating system
   VAX CDD/Repos.    5.1  H       Common Data Dictionary / Repository
   VAX DATATRIEVE    6.0  H       Data management tool
   VAX TDMS          1.9  H       Terminal Data Management System - forms
   SPSS              4.1  H       Statistical Package for the Social Sciences

VAX CDD/Repos. & VAX DATATRIEVE have been recently upgraded (worked with 
earlier versions) which is probably a coincidence.

PROBLEM
-------

The problem is as follows...

Up until recently I have used the following command in SPSSx with great 
success...

get datatrieve
        /dictionary=CDD$TOP.USERS.U5536554.REGISTRY
        /domain=twinreg
        /command=FIND first 5 id in twinreg
        /variables=id

but now it falls over with the following error...

>>>>>> Message from DATATRIEVE <<<<<<

>%TSSFDV-E-ITT, invalid terminal type
>Statement abandoned due to error.


QUESTIONS
---------

Does anybody know where in the manuals I can find a better explanation of this
	error? I have tried the CD-ROM documentation and the hard-copy TDMS, 
	RDU & DMU manuals that I have.  

Does anybody have any suggestions where the problem could lie?

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks,

Gareth.
