Communications Subsystem (CS) Error Codes 

RJE/V uses a set of intrinsics called CS (Communications Subsystem) which
communicate with the INP card.  Errors which occur during the operation
of the INP card are reported as CS errors.  RJE/XL uses a different
version of CS (also called RCS) and, additionally, a link driver for
communicating with the PSI card.  RJE/XL has CS errors which occur during
the operation of the PSI card.  It also has link driver error messages
specifically related to its operation (see following section for link
driver error messages).

The format of the CS error message is as follows:

     **** CS ERROR: x,yyy,zz 

where,

x is a digit specifying the type of error, as follows:

 0 = Line open error.

 1 = Line read error.

 2 = Line write error.

yyy is a number specifying the CS Irrecoverable Error code, shown in the
following table.

zz is a number specifying the CS Recoverable Error code returned from the
communications driver (zz is a function of the yyy error code and may not
appear).

An error is "irrecoverable" when the system is unable to recover from the
error and it is up to the user to take corrective action.  For RJE,
"recoverable" error numbers are only displayed after an irrecoverable
error has occurred.  This only happens with irrecoverable error 207,
"transmission retry count was exhausted." In this case, the system
recovered from a failed operation for a preset number of times before the
counter was exhausted and an irrecoverable error occurred.


NOTE For background information useful in understanding CS errors, refer to Appendix C, "Binary Synchronous Communications."
Irrecoverable error codes are divided into the six general categories which are listed in Table A-1. The RJE/V and RJE/XL of CS error descriptions follow Table A-1. (CS ERROR 207 is listed with the specific recoverable errors which occurred.) Any which occur frequently should be reported to your Hewlett-Packard representative. Table A-1. CS Irrecoverable Error Codes --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | Error Codes | General Description | | | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | 1-40 | The communications software could not open the line, | | | possibly due to incorrect MPE I/O system | | | configuration. | | | | | 41-50 | A CS intrinsics error occurred, perhaps associated | | | with opening the line. Contact your HP | | | Representative. | | | | | 51-81 | A CS intrinsics error occurred that did not involve | | | opening the line. Contact your HP Representative. | | | | | 84-150 | A hardware error occurred. | | | | | 151-200 | An error or exceptional condition caused the line to | | | be disconnected. | | | | | 201-250 | An error or exceptional condition occurred but the | | | line was not disconnected. | | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
