The FSC Error File
The IPC file whose format is discussed here is used to describe the
identity of one or more MPE files that a foreign interface program has
been unable to bring into HP Desk. There is only one IPC Error file for
each FSC format per system and it will be pre-built by HP Desk.
With both EFT and FSC, a file containing a message too big for the
current capacity of the database will cause an entry in the appropriate
error file. FSC messages that are addressed to a mailnode unknown to the
receiving HP Desk computer will be delivered to the default configured
mailnode.
The characteristics of the error files are the same as those given by the
MPE commands:
BUILD ERRARPA:MAILDB:HPOFFICE;REC=-80,,F,ASCII;MSG
for ARPA Standard and Compressed
BUILD ERRAREF:MAILDB:HPOFFICE;REC=-80,,F,ASCII;MSG
for ARPA Reference.
The fields in each record of the Error file are:
Entry type:
COBOL PIC S9(4)
PASCAL smallint
2 describes an ARPA Standard format file
3 describes an ARPA Reference format file
4 describes an ARPA Compressed format file
Filename:
COBOL PIC X(36)
PASCAL 36 chars packed
Name of MPE file containing messages.
Filler:
COBOL PIC S9(4) OCCURS 5
PASCAL smallint times 5
Reserved for future use.
Gateway name:
COBOL PIC X(8)
PASCAL 8 chars packed
Name of the gateway from which messages are being received which, if not
blank, is for use when resolving foreign alias addresses.
Filler:
COBOL PIC S9(4) OCCURS 3
PASCAL smallint times 3
Software level number:
COBOL PIC S9(4)
PASCAL smallint
The version number of the FSC software that produced the files. The
number will increase with each release of the software.
Failed message number:
COBOL PIC S9(4)
PASCAL smallint
Set to the sequence number of the message (within the incoming message
file) that halted processing. This is the number used as Start message
number in the incoming FSC file.
Error code:
COBOL PIC S9(4)
PASCAL smallint
Gives the reason for failure.
1 is database full
3 is unrecognized entry/format type
5 is reference file access error
999 is other error, details of which are given in the job history for the
FSC truck.
Filler:
COBOL PICS9(4)
PASCAL smallint
Suppress message header indicator:
COBOL PIC S9(4)
PASCAL smallint
This indicates whether, when a message from a foreign system is brought
into HP Desk, the generation of the "Part 2 MESSAGE HEADER" should be
suppressed or not.
1 means suppression
Any other value means a message header should be generated.
Filler:
Remaining bytes.
These are reserved for future use.
