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. 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. 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.
Command messages are identified
by the prefix PTMSG xx, where xx is a number. The PTMSG messages are listed with the PTCOMACK messages. 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. 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 and those for MPE XL
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 or Using
the Node Management Services Utilities for generic messages
produced by the NMMGR, NMMAINT, and NMDUMP utilities. |
