EL230 Errors found in MOD submission, see messages:

EL219 Error Unknown keyword found: TOT
EL202 Error TAGname not specified.

I read the responses elsewhere today, and did do some changes based on
them. I took out TOT (not sure what it might have once meant). But I
do not understand why TAG is not specified. The line
TAG COOKING
was the second line on most of the submissions.
The last submission was sent at 17:59:25 , EDT and followed what you
sent me in email (I think). Did that one take?

You submissions arrival may have clashed or not with my edit of the .ECO file, but regardless it went through woth no problems . I did post a copy of it
sans
the password here I seem to recall.

The first problem with the original file was the keyword and sub was incorrect you had
MOD UPD

That got confused with a MOD keyword so it all started to go to pot from there :)

That line should have been :
SUBJ MOD-UPD

and as you the invalid work TOT just got ignored (with a error message) and processing continued until all keywords was read.

This is how elist now works and after reading the last line in the .ECO file it
then checks for errors in addition it may have picked up so far.

Then it reject it with another message.

This way if you submit a MOD-UPD or MOD-ADD with multiple problems hopefully they all get reported on other than the example you had with the line MOD UPD which elist tried to send a msg to UPD then realised it was a bad address.

Joking, it found that out earlier.

Hope the above helps you,


Vincent

I suspect what you are posting is from a previous help file. I made the
edits which Vincent suggested (no extra spaces, COMOD1, delet TOT) and
the listing was accepted.
I had sent exactly the same thing that the moderator had used for
previous program -- but things changed.

yes, as noted... you had said you didn't know what it was used for so i showed you ;)

i'm sure ;)

i planned on sending exactly what i've been using, too... i do not relish the idea of having to edit all of them from their existing format which has been in use for ~20+ years through several echolist programs and echolist keepers... i'm not sure what i'm going to do now... i have also been waiting to see if the other project comes online soon and how they handle the existing update templates... afterall, it is the moderators that choose which, if any, echolist they support with their entries...
