Basic Serial Connection Error Messages This sections lists basic serial connection error messages in alphanumeric order. DCL10 ERROR - Maximum number of retries. Connection aborted Action A packet of data has been transmitted and has failed the maximum number of times allowed by your configuration. This is probably due to a dropped or noisy connection. Retry the connection at a later time. DCL11 WARNING - You have aborted the connection Action You stopped the connection process before it was completed. Because you may have left the HP 3000 or other devices with an unknown status, you should check on the connection process (in your logfile, for example) and attempt to reset the devices in a ready mode. Say BYEto the HP 3000 and hang up the modem, for example. DCL12 ERROR - Encryption password is incorrect Action You could not access your connection file (or a file called from within the connection file) due to an incorrect or missing encryption password. Retry the connection with the correct password. DCL13 ERROR - Cannot read disc Action DOS cannot read the file on your disc. Check to see if you have the correct disc in the default drive or that you specified the correct path and file name. DCL14 ERROR - Cannot find your file Action The file name you specified does not exist. Check to make sure you used the correct path and file names. DCL15 ERROR - Cannot open your file Action The attempt to open the named PC file was not successful. Check to see if you have the correct path and file name. Also, check to be sure that the file is not protected or already opened. DCL16 ERROR - Cannot close your file Action The attempt to close the named PC file was not successful. Check for the correct path and file names. Check to be sure that the file is not protected. Also, check to make sure the file was actually opened. DCL17 ERROR - Cannot purge your file Action When you were encrypting a file the attempt to delete the original file failed, or when you were writing to a logfile the previous logfile could not be overwritten. Check for read-only status on the file. Also, check to be sure the disc is not write-protected. DCL18 ERROR - Not enough space on the PC disc Action The PC disc either has inadequate space or is protected. Use a disc with more space or provide additional space on the disc you are using by purging unnecessary files. DCL19 ERROR - Cannot read your file Action DOS failed in reading the named file. See that the proper disc is inserted and that the drive is connected. Check to see if the file is encrypted. DCL20 ERROR - Cannot write to your file Action This error could occur when you are encrypting a file. Check to see if your disc is full. Also check to be sure the disc is not write-protected. If it is full, delete files or use another disc with more space. If it is write-protected, use another disc. DCL22 ERROR - Datacomm connection in use by another application Action The connection line is in use by another application. Terminate the application that currently owns the data communications line and then try again. If no other application is active, reboot your PC. DCL23 ERROR - Incompatible PCSERVER.PUB.SYS host program Action You are running the connection files with an incorrect version of the host program. Check your PCSERVER.PUB.SYS. version number. DCL24 ERROR - Software is incompatible with your PC Action You are using the wrong software for your PC (for instance, running Hewlett-Packard Vectra software on a Hewlett-Packard Touchscreen). Check your application manual. DCL25 ERROR - Failed to log on to the HP 3000 Action Incorrect data in the logon procedure caused the connection to fail. Another cause might be that the HP 3000 or other device was not in a ready mode. Check for correct telephone number, modem attention string, or configuration settings. In addition, check your logfile to see if the logon string and password were transmitted at the proper time. Check for any messages from the HP 3000 indicating its readiness to receive (a DC1, for instance). DCL26 ERROR - Invalid numeric parameter encountered Action Your &Pn value is not numeric and you are attempting to add, multiply, subtract, or divide it, or the number in the variable name may not be within the range specified for the command. Correct the parameter value. DCL27 ERROR - Parameter is too long Action You exceeded the length limit for the parameter. Check the command description for the length limit. The usual limit is 80 characters. Correct the length of the text and retry the connection. DCL28 ERROR - Invalid variable name (should be &P1...&P10) Action The variable name has not been defined or no value has been assigned. Also, you may have assigned an &Pn variable name that is greater than &P10. Correct the variable name and retry. DCL29 ERROR - Parameter must be a character string Action You are using an incorrect parameter value. Check for commas, spaces, ampersands, or internal quotation marks in the string. If you have any of these characters, enclose the character string in quotations. DCL30 ERROR - Parameter must be numeric Action The parameter value must be numeric for certain commands such as &BAUD, &BLOCKSIZE, &DCLOSE, &PAUSE, and some others. Also, you must use numerics in &ADD, &SUB, &MUL, or &DIV commands. Correct the parameter and retry. DCL31 ERROR - Parameter must be &P1 through &P10 Action You used an incorrect &Pn variable name. Use &Pn variables &P1 through &P10. DCL32 ERROR - Parameter is required Action You issued a command without specifying the required parameter. Enter the appropriate parameter and retry the connection. DCL33 ERROR - Unexpected symbol in connection file Action You mistyped a command. Check on the command syntax and retype the command correctly. Make sure you have quotes around text that contains spaces, commas, ampersands, or quotes. DCL34 ERROR - Missing quote in connection file Action You typed the text string without one of the necessary quotes. Insert the necessary quotes. If you are sending a text string that includes double quotes, use single quotes to enclose the entire string, or vice versa. DCL35 ERROR - Invalid command in connection file Action You mistyped the command. Recheck the command syntax and command spelling and retry. DCL36 ERROR - Expected ON or OFF in connection file Action You did not specify ON or OFF for a command that requires one or the other as a parameter. Type the command correctly. DCL38 ERROR - Improperly matched &IF, &ELSE, or &ENDIF Action The connection file contains an &IF command without a matching &ELSE or an &ENDIF. Insert the appropriate matching command. DCL39 ERROR - Expected 'IN', '=', or '<>' in connection file Action In using the &IF command, you left out the required expression (= or <>) for the TRUE/FALSE test or did not test for the existence of a specific string (IN) assigned to an &Pn variable value. Insert the required expression. DCL40 ERROR - Illegal time format. Expected HH:MM:SS Action The &WAITCLOCK command has the wrong format. Type the time in hh:mm:ss format (for example, 01:30:45). DCL41 ERROR - Error in dialing modem Action An incorrect telephone number was entered in the &CALL command or the modem is not properly configured. Enter the correct telephone number or reconfigure the modem.

Adjust the calculation. DCL43 ERROR - Wrong value received in &EXPECT command Action The value that you specified with the &EXPECT command was not received. Check your logfile to see what message was received. Adjust the connection file and retry the connection. DCL45 ERROR - Expected TRUE or FALSE in connection file Action You used one of the commands that tests for the existence of a particular status and the status cannot be ascertained. You may have forgotten to specify either TRUE or FALSE in the command syntax. Add the necessary TRUE or FALSE statements. DCL46 ERROR - Expected COM1 or COM2 in connection file Action You mistyped the port identification in the &PORT command. Correct the parameter. SERIAL1 or SERIAL2 is also acceptable. If you have a Hewlett-Packard Portable Plus, you can also use COM3 or SERIAL3. DCL47 ERROR - Missing label for &GOTO in connection file Action You used the &GOTO command and specified a label that does not exist in the file. Add the missing label. Check for exact spelling in the label name. DCL48 ERROR - Parity must be in range 0 to 4 Action You mistyped the parameter for the &PARITY command. The only options are 0 to 4. Correct the parameter value. DCL49 ERROR - Handshake must be in range 0 to 3 Action You mistyped the parameter for the &HANDSHAKE command. The only options are 0 to 3. Correct the parameter value. DCL50 WARNING - Non-zero &EXIT status your number Action Your file executed a conditional exit that specified an exit code other than zero. Check the exit code number against the exit possibilities you have defined.
