Error 1008
Abdul Rehman Paracha asked for the cause and solution of error 1008. Colin Bull, Malc_p and Martin Fuerderer quoted finderr: the termcap entry is too long, over the 1,024-byte buffer, so use a simpler termcap. Colin suggested checking the TERM variable (for example vt100) and /etc/termcap. Malc_p and Martin told him to use finderr himself. No reply from the poster.

dev-ds2-1> finderr 1008 -1008 Termcap entry too long. The contents of the TERMCAP environment variable, or of the termcap entry from the termcap database, are read into storage when the application is initializing. However, the memory buffer that is allocated to hold the termcap entry is 1,024 bytes, and the entry in use is longer than that. Use a simpler termcap. On the face of it there is a problem with your terminal setup. Have you set the TERM variable. If yes, try something standard like - TERM=vt100 ; export TERM What OS could be useful information to give :-) Have you got a /etc/termcap file ? When was it last changed ?

Hi Paracha, it's you again ... "finderr"-time again ? : % finderr 1008 -1008 Termcap entry too long. The contents of the TERMCAP environment variable, or of the termcap entry from the termcap database, are read into storage when the application is initializing. However, the memory buffer that is allocated to hold the termcap entry is 1,024 bytes, and the entry in use is longer than that. Use a simpler termcap. This should explain it all. BTW: The "finderr" utility really is a great way to find out the meaning of such error codes. Have you tried it recently ?
