Listed are the messages that are generated by the Link Trace Formatter. They are displayed on the user terminal when running NMDUMP.

If you must submit a CR or call your HP representative, please copy the error exactly as it appears on the terminal; it will make determining the CAUSE of the problem easier. These messages are not logged.

The messages are listed in numerical order according to the error number.

MESSAGE: SUBSYSxxTRACEFORMAT CM STUB ERROR (nnn,sss) FROM HPLOADNMPROC

UNABLE TO CALL NM TRACE FORMATTER ROUTINE (FMTERR 995)
Level: FMTERR 995

CAUSE: The CM Stub could not load an NM WAN Trace Formatter routine for subsystem "xx" from the system library XL.PUB.SYS.

ACTION: Incorrect software installation to run Native-Mode Trace Formatters. The SWITCH error number is "nnn" and the subsystem reporting the error is "sss". Call your HP representative.


MESSAGE: SUBSYSTEM_xx_MENU CM STUB ERROR (nnn,sss) FROM HPSWTONMNAME

UNABLE TO CALL NM MENU ROUTINE (FMTERR 996)
Level: FMTERR 996

CAUSE: The CM Stub could not call the named NM WAN Trace Formatter options menu routine for subsystem "xx" from the system library XL.PUB.SYS.

ACTION: Incorrect software installation to run Native-Mode Trace Formatters. This could also be caused by incorrect privilege levels. The SWITCH error number is "nnn" and the subsystem reporting the error is "sss". Call your HP representative.


MESSAGE: SUBSYSxxTRACEFORMAT CM STUB ERROR (nnn,sss) FROM HPSWTONMPLABEL

UNABLE TO CALL NM TRACE FORMATTER ROUTINE (FMTERR 998)
Level: FMTERR 998

CAUSE: The CM stub successfully loaded the NM WAN Trace Formatter routine for subsystem "xx" from the system library XL.PUB.SYS, but could not call it.

ACTION: Incorrect software installation to run Native-Mode Trace Formatters. This could also be caused by incorrect privilege levels or a bug in the NM WAN Trace Formatter CM Stub. The SWITCH error number is "nnn" and the subsystem reporting the error is "sss". Call your HP representative.


MESSAGE: SUBSYSxxTRACEFORMAT CM STUB ERROR (nnn,sss) FROM HPSWTONMNAME

UNABLE TO CALL NM TRACE FORMATTER ROUTINE (FMTERR 999)
Level: FMTERR 999

CAUSE: The CM Stub could not call the named NM WAN Trace Formatter routine for subsystem "xx" in the system library XL.PUB.SYS.

ACTION: Incorrect software installation to run Native-Mode Trace Formatters. This could also be caused by incorrect privilege levels. The SWITCH error number is "nnn" and the subsystem reporting the error is "sss". Call your HP representative.


MESSAGE: ALL overrides other selections entered at the same time
Level: 4024

CAUSE: Among the filter-set numbers you entered, you also specified the number for ALL. This is a warning.

ACTION: Check your input. Unless you mistyped one of the other set numbers, it does not make sense to specify ALL along with other items, because ALL would include the other sets anyway. To retype the input after this warning, you must first return to the filter-set selection menu.


MESSAGE: Warning: Errors always print; for Errors only don't include other sets
Level: 4025

CAUSE: Among the filter-set numbers you entered, you also specified the number for ERRORS-ONLY. This is a warning.

ACTION: Check your input. Unless you mistyped one of the other set numbers, it does not make sense to specify ERRORS-ONLY along with other items, because including the other items would defeat the meaning of ERRORS-ONLY. To retype your input after this warning you must first return to the filter-set selection menu.


MESSAGE: Input truncated to 80 characters
Level: 4026

CAUSE: The input file to the user menu was given more than 80 characters of input, but the menu can only accept 80. This is a warning.

ACTION: If the extra characters are just extra blanks, ignore this message or reduce the width of the input file. But if the extra characters are nonblank, you must edit the input file, finding a way to reduce the width of the input data to no more than 80 characters.


MESSAGE: Extra input ignored
Level: 4027

CAUSE: Only one number was expected, but you entered more than one, and the extra number(s) were ignored. This is a warning.

ACTION: Check your input and, if necessary, return to that prompt and retype the input.


MESSAGE: Range error at position shown; other values accepted if allowed
Level: 4028

CAUSE: One of the numbers you entered was out of range; a "^^" indicator appears below the illegal number. The number entered was probably much too large.

ACTION: The bad value was not accepted. Press the Return key to keep the other values on the same line, or else retype the entire input using only legal values.


MESSAGE: Syntax error at position shown; other values accepted if allowed
Level: 4029

CAUSE: Some of the numbers on the input line contained illegal characters, or were separated by illegal characters. Legal inputs are digits 0-9 and the question mark "?". Legal separators for a list are the comma "," and the blank " ".

ACTION: Retype the input.


MESSAGE: Invalid set number NN; reenter all or hit RETURN to keep others
Level: 4030

CAUSE: One of the filter-set numbers you selected is not one of the valid filter sets for this formatter.

ACTION: Check your input against the available sets shown in the menu. Press the Return key to keep the other number(s) you entered on the same line, or you may retype the entire input. You may also return to the main menu and "set all options back to their default values."


MESSAGE: Output limit out of range; enter another number or hit RETURN
Level: 4031

CAUSE: You have selected a value which is less than the lower output limit or greater than the upper output limit.

ACTION: The value you selected was not accepted. Reenter a value which is within the range shown in the prompt. The prompt is meant as a reminder; values up to 4096 are also legal.


MESSAGE: Invalid option number NN ignored; others accepted
Level: 4032

CAUSE: One of the option numbers you selected at the main menu was not a valid option number for this formatter.

ACTION: The illegal option number was ignored, but any other options on the same line were executed. Check your input and retype if necessary.


MESSAGE: Number of inputs exceeds storage capacity, rest ignored
Level: 4033

CAUSE: Bug in Trace Formatter numeric input processing. The formatter could not process all the numbers entered by the user.

ACTION: Check your input and retype if necessary. If the problem continues to occur, submit an HP Change Request form against the Trace Formatter, specifying the input you tried and the subsystem you were trying to format. A temporary solution might be to type fewer numbers.


MESSAGE: CIERROR NNNN while executing MPE command
Level: 4034

CAUSE: The MPE command you tried encountered an error. MPE returned error number NNNN to the Formatter (MPE warnings are ignored).

ACTION: Check your input. If necessary, retype the MPE command. You may look up the Command Interpreter error number in the NS 3000/iX Error Messages Reference Manual.


MESSAGE: MISSING OPT EXECUTOR #NN; PLEASE SUBMIT HP CHANGE REQUEST
Level: 4035

CAUSE: Bug in Trace Formatter option execution processing. The formatter recognized an option you typed, but could not find processing for the option.

ACTION: Submit an HP Change Request form against the Formatter, specifying what input you typed and what subsystem you were trying to format.


MESSAGE: MISSING MESSAGE #NNNN
Level: none

CAUSE: Bug in Trace Formatter error message processing. The explanatory text for error number NNNN is missing from the formatter.

ACTION: Submit an HP Change Request form against the Formatter, specifying what input you typed and what subsystem you were trying to format.
