209	ed_installation_parms produces spurious name duplication error	Eric Swenson	Eric Swenson	"When you invoke ed_installation_parms >sc1>installation_parms in a new process, you get the error:

{{{
ed_installation_parms: Name duplication. rate_structure_0 >sc1>installation_parms.
}}}

This error occurs because the error code checking logic is inadequate.

After parsing arguments, it calls:
 
{{{
call hcs_$make_seg (dn, en, """", RW_ACCESS_BIN, rsp1, ec);
}}}
 
In the normal case, where the parameter was >sc1>installation_parms, and where that segment exists, ec will be error_table_$namedup  (""Name duplication."").  The code handles two cases:  ec = 0 and ec = error_table_$segknown. ec is neither of these, so we fall through to:
 
{{{
                         call com_err_ (ec, me, ""rate_structure_^d ^a."", i, dnvar || rtrim (en));
                         go to exit;
}}}
 
So that’s why we fail.  This is a stupid way of doing it.  Of course, when we exit with this error, we still have >sc1>installation_parms initiated (not cleaned up), so the second invocation results in ec being error_table_$segknown and things work better."	defect	new	major	MR12.7	Tools	MR12.6f
