Using SNA IMF Pass Thru

Appendix A  Pass Thru Messages 

This appendix lists the messages that can be generated by Pass
Thru.Following each message is a short description of the cause of the
message and the action you should take to resolve any problems.

The last section of this appendix, "Suppressing Localized Message and
Help Text," tells Asian users of Pass Thru how to redirect the Asian
message catalog to its English equivalent.

Six types of messages can be sent to Pass Thru devices.  In some cases,
these messages can also be sent to the system console.

   *   Warning messages are identified by the prefix PTWARN  xx, where  
       xx is a number.  The PTWARN and PTERR messages are listed
       together, beginning on page A-3.  They are listed in order by
       number. 

   *   Fatal error messages are identified by the prefix PTERR  xx, where
        xx is a number.  The PTERR messages are listed with the PTWARN
       messages, beginning on the page A-3.  They are listed in order by
       number. 

   *   Info string messages are identified by the prefix PTINFOERR  xx,
       where  xx is a number.  Info string messages indicate errors in
       the RUN command used to start Pass Thru or issue printer commands.
       The PTINFOERR messages are listed by number, beginning on page
       A-29. 

   *   Command messages are identified by the prefix PTMSG  xx, where  xx 
       is a number.  The PTMSG messages are listed with the PTCOMACK
       messages, beginning on page A-36.  They are listed in order by
       number. 

   *   Command acknowledgment messages are identified by the prefix
       PTCOMACK   xx, where  xx is a number.  The PTCOMACK messages are
       listed with the PTMSG messages, beginning on page A-36.  They are
       listed in order by number. 

   *   SNA Transport messages are identified by the prefix SNAERR  xx,
       where  xx is a number.  SNA Transport messages are not generated
       by Pass Thru but by SNA Transport, the software portion of the SNA
       link product.  The SNAERR messages for MPE V begin on page A-39,
       and those for MPE XL begin on page A-54.  They are listed in order
       by number. 

All error messages, whether warning or fatal, are preceded by this
header:

       IMF Pass Thru Error, Host NAU:  nau , Device LDEV:  yy 

where  nau is the host Network Addressable Unit identified in the node
management configuration file used to start the SNA link you are using,
and  yy is the logical device number of the HP line printer or terminal
that is doing the emulation.

If the error involves an MPE file system error, the message includes a
third line that explains the file system error.  File system errors have
the prefix FSERR   xx. 


NOTE  Although this appendix focuses on Pass Thru diagnostic messages,
      you may encounter other messages while using SNA IMF. Refer to the
      SNA Link Services Reference Manual orUsing the Node Management 
      Services Utilities for generic messages produced by the NMMGR,
      NMMAINT, and NMDUMP utilities.
