Greetings all I am a total noob at MUSIC and I am trying to install the updates before I start playing around and I haven't been able to get it to work correctly.? I am using the FTP method onto Sim390 and then when I am done I am going to run it through Hercules.? The FTP part works without a hitch and the checksums match but when I run APPLYUPD this is what I get:

applyupd
*In progress

Enter the name of the MUSIC update to be applied,
for example misc7
?
fort2pl1

This procedure will apply update fort2pl1 to your MUSIC system.
You can reply /cancel to exit at any time.

Is this update contained in a UDS file (a UDS volume)?
?
n
Using archive file fort2pl1.arc
** The archive file does not exist or cannot be read.
Update not applied
*End
*Go

I have also tried it with the .mfarc extension but still to no avail.? Also, to be honest, I'm not even sure what a UDS volume is, but I have tried that method too. Any help would be appreciated but please be gentle. :-)

Thanks

Ray

Hello Ray,

According to the documentation of the modification, you need to create the folder $000:\fort2pl1.nonibm before applying the update.

Are you sure the transfer is okay? I just tried the update on a freshly downloaded MUSIC 6.2 Demo and the file fort2pl1.arc (after transfer) has 3190 records of length 80 for a size of about 232K. With the needed folder and that archive, APPLYUPD worked perfectly in my case.

Hello Ray,

Have you check that the file has 3190 records and is of size 232K? I am sorry to insist but, often when something is not working, it is because a condition we assume to be true is not. :-)
