Chapter 6  Virtual Terminal (VT ERROR) Error Messages 

1            MESSAGE      RESOURCE NOT RELEASED ON TERMINATION.

             CAUSE        During the termination process a resource was
                          not released with a good disposition.

             ACTION       None; this is not a severe problem since MPE
                          forces cleanup upon process termination.

2            MESSAGE      INVALID STATUS FOUND.

             CAUSE        Conflicting states existed in the VT status
                          mask.  The transition to a new state could not
                          be made.

             ACTION       See "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this
                          manual.

3            MESSAGE      ILLEGAL STATUS STATE.

             CAUSE        A VT routine requested an illegal option for
                          altering the current state.

             ACTION       See "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this
                          manual.

4            MESSAGE      VTS MESSAGE DOES NOT INCLUDE PARAMETERS.

             CAUSE        The VTS protocol message has no request
                          parameters.  This may be an error in the data
                          transmission or a mismatch in versions of the VT
                          software.

             ACTION       Verify the VT versions on the different nodes,
                          retry the VT session, and/or see "Submitting an
                          SR" in appendix A of this manual.

5            MESSAGE      VTS MESSAGE CONTAINS AN INVALID PARAMETER.

             CAUSE        The VTS protocol message contains an invalid
                          request.  This may be a transmission error or a
                          result of incompatible versions of VT.

             ACTION       Check the VT version numbers using NMMAINT,
                          retry the VT session.  If the problem recurs,
                          see "Submitting an SR".

6            MESSAGE      VTS MESSAGE HAS INVALID FORMAT.

             CAUSE        The VTS protocol message could not be decoded;
                          the format was not recognized.  This results
                          from incompatible versions of the software or an
                          uncorrected transmission error.

             ACTION       Verify the VT software version numbers, retry
                          the VT session.  If the problem recurs, see
                          "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual.

7            MESSAGE      UNEXPECTED/BAD RESPONSE FROM VT.

             CAUSE        The VT "partner" on the remote machine could not
                          handle a request and has generated an unexpected
                          protocol error.  This is the result of Virtual
                          Terminal error 4, 5 or 6 above.

             ACTION       One of your commands was probably not executed
                          correctly.  Terminate the session and re-issue
                          the commands.  If the problem persists, verify
                          VT versions and/or submit SR.

8            MESSAGE      VT SERVER NOT ADOPTED.

             CAUSE        The VT process could not initialize the
                          environment properly, probably because of poor
                          timing or a resource shortage.

             ACTION       Terminate the session and log on again.

9            MESSAGE      SAVED READ DATA NOT VALID.

             CAUSE        Sequencing problem:  VT did not have a read
                          request from the remote system to satisfy your
                          REMOTE command.

             ACTION       Reissue your command.

11           MESSAGE      VT TRACE STATE NOT ALTERED.

             CAUSE        The trace facility could not be enabled or
                          disabled.

                          When you are starting the trace, this indicates
                          that the trace file could not be opened.  For
                          trace termination, the file did not close
                          successfully.  In either case there may not be
                          sufficient storage for the file, or the user's
                          limit may have been exceeded.

             ACTION       Readjust the disc space parameters, and reissue
                          the command.

12           MESSAGE      VT DATA AREA NOT UPDATED.

             CAUSE        Information could not be added to a VT
                          environment-related table, usually because
                          timing was off or there was a resource shortage.

             ACTION       The VT can continue to function; however, it
                          would be best to terminate the remote session
                          and begin again.

13           MESSAGE      RETRIEVE OF DSLINE DATA FAILED.

             CAUSE        The DSLINE table was not accessible to the VT
                          service probably because of a timing problem in
                          the subsystems.  The table entry was not
                          released.

             ACTION       Terminate the remote session.

14           MESSAGE      BUFFER/STORAGE NOT RELEASED.

             CAUSE        An internal buffer could not be returned to the
                          buffer pool.

             ACTION       If the problem reoccurs, dump the system and see
                          "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual.

16           MESSAGE      CR/LF SWITCH FAILED.

             CAUSE        The File System did not honor the request to
                          alter the issuing of Line Feed on receipt of a
                          Carriage Return.

             ACTION       This may affect the actions of the remote
                          application program:  if problems occur,
                          reestablish the remote session.

17           MESSAGE      SET READ TIMEOUT FAILED.

             CAUSE        Setting of a timed read failed.

             ACTION       This may affect the actions of the remote
                          application program:  if problems occur,
                          reestablish the remote session.

18           MESSAGE      SET ECHO FAILED.

             CAUSE        The echo setting was not altered as requested by
                          the application program.

             ACTION       This will affect the remote program:  terminate
                          and rerun the program.

19           MESSAGE      SET PRE/POST SPACE FAILED.

             CAUSE        Space control was not altered.

             ACTION       Line feeds will not be issued as requested:
                          rerun the remote program.

20           MESSAGE      PREEMPTIVE WRITE.

             CAUSE        A preemptive write could not be issued.

             ACTION       None.

21           MESSAGE      FWRITE TO TERMINAL FAILED.

             CAUSE        Data could not be written to the terminal.

             CAUSE        Terminal type could not be retrieved from the
                          file system.

             ACTION       Reattempt to establish the remote session.  If
                          it fails again, make sure that the terminal is
                          properly configured for MPE.

23           MESSAGE      SET EOR FAILED.

             CAUSE        End-of-Record setting failed.

             ACTION       Terminate the remote program, reset the
                          terminal, and run the program again.

24           MESSAGE      SET EDIT MODE FAILED.

             CAUSE        The mode required by the remote program was not
                          set by MPE.

             ACTION       Terminate the remote program and attempt to
                          rerun it.

25           MESSAGE      SET DRIVER MODE FAILED.

             CAUSE        The File System did not alter the setting of the
                          driver/terminal handshake mode.

31           MESSAGE      FATAL INTERNAL ERROR OCCURRED.

             CAUSE        The VT could not continue because of a VTS
                          protocol error or a corrupt data structure.

             ACTION       Verify the NS version numbers, and if they are
                          compatible, see "Submitting an SR" in appendix A
                          of this manual.

32           MESSAGE      REMOTE SESSION LOGON FAILED.

             CAUSE        The remote logon was started; however, it did
                          not succeed because the logon timed out, a break
                          was issued during logon, the remote CI aborted,
                          or communication to the remote system was lost.

                          "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual.

36           MESSAGE      VT NEGOTIATIONS FAILED.

             CAUSE        The remote system could not support a VT option
                          or the two systems have incompatible software
                          versions.

             ACTION       Verify the VT version numbers and submit an SR.

37           MESSAGE      VTS MESSAGE PROTOCOL ERROR.

             CAUSE        The local and remote VT code are different
                          versions, or a data transmission error occurred.

             ACTION       Reattempt session establishment.  If the error
                          reoccurs, verify the version numbers using
                          NMMAINT and see "Submitting an SR" in appendix A
                          of this manual.
