SHOWDEV to Support 4 Digit LDEV
by Alice Wang
Commerical Systems Division
Beginning with MPE/iX Release 4.0, the maximum logical device (LDEV)
support on MPE/iX was increased from 999 to 2330. To make room for
displaying a four digit LDEV number, the detail line and heading for the
SHOWDEV command has been changed. The entire output has been shifted to
the right by a couple of characters. These changes may impact software
that scans or relies on the device data output to be in certain columns.
The old and the new output format of the SHOWDEV command are listed below
for comparision.
