Non-fatal bugcheck accessing a file

The Question is:

Hi

I have an RMS journaling question for the wizards.
I have a file which when accessed is causing an rms bugcheck
and the process can die.
ie dir/full on the file logs you out. However dir does not
log you out. It is important becauses it causes the backup
to fail.

It is not the latest version of the file so therefore I
tried to delete it. It fails as does the backup because the
file has active recovery units.

I cannot seem to remove journaling with the set file/noai
/nobi etc command. I beleive the journal might have been
deleted. By what I don't know.

How can I get rid of the file.

Thanks

    Well, that sould of course never happen.
    There have been several correction made to RMS since VMS V5.5-2.
    Many of those are available in the most recent RMS patch kit for
    that version, available through the colorado support center.
    You may want to verify that you have the latest pathes installed.
    Better still... try accessin the file from a VMS 6.2 (or 6.1) system.
    If that still causes an RMS Bugcheck (ANAL/ERR/INCL=BUG/SINCE=...)
    then please raise this issue through your support channels.

    Check out $HELP SET FILE /RU_ACTIVE and /RU_FAC

    I believe that the following command should clear any and all
    RMS journalling information:

    	$SET FILE/RU_FAC=RMS/RU_ACT=0/NORU_JOURNAL/NO_AI/NO_BI


    hope this helps,
