section whenever you receive an error while running DSCOPY, DSLIN, DSMOD, MDFCL, D$FCL, MVCP3, NRINIT, NRLIST, NSINIT, NSINF, REMAT, RMOTE, TELNET, and FTP.

Tracing Error Messages

Error messages returned by the NSARPA/1000 tracing utilities are described in Section 5. You should refer to this section when you are running NSTRC, FMTRC, and BRTRC.

Logging Error Codes and Messages

Error codes and messages produced by the NSARPA/1000 logging utility, EVMON, and the log mask utility, LOGCHG, are listed in Section 6. You should refer to this section when attempting to interpret the contents of log files produced by EVMON.

Using DSERR

Many of the numeric error codes described in this manual are returned in the err parameter of PTOP, RFA, and certain utility calls. Because the same numeric error code may have different meanings, HP suggests that you call the utility subroutine DSERR whenever an error is returned to a program that utilizes one of these calls.

Note

Do not use DSERR if your PTOP slave program resides on an HP 3000 node, if you are using HP 3000 RFA calls, or if you are calling HELLO, BYE, or PRCNM; it will produce erroneous results.

DSERR returns extended error information in the following format:

DS ERROR: SSEE (QQ), REPORTING NODE NNNNN

The DSERR parameters have the following meanings:

SS

subsystem prefix, such as SC for scheduling, IO for input/output, and FM for

 

FMGR

EE

numeric error code

QQ

numeric error code qualifier

NNNNN

number of the node reporting the error

Refer to Section 7, Utilities, of the NSARPA/1000 DS/1000IV Compatible Services Reference Manual, for a detailed description of DSERR.
