3271 Device Support

This message is associated with the Com-plete 3271 device module. It appears when an input block was received in the permanent input buffer and the 'get small buffer' request that was issued to obtain a buffer for the block failed.

A WACK (WAIT-ACKNOWLEDGE) is issued. Normal processing continues. The hardware will automatically recover.

If this message continues to appear, the size of the buffer pool may need to be increased.

Notify the Com-plete system programmer if this message appears frequently.

This message is associated with the Com-plete 3271 device module. It appears when a UNIT CHECK was received.

Normal processing continues. A specific poll to LID xxx, TID yyy is issued to obtain error status information.

This is a probable hardware error.

Notify the Com-plete system programmer.

Self-explanatory message.

This message is associated with the Com-plete 3271 device module. It appears when a response other than ACK1, WACK or NAK was received in response to a WRITE CONTINUE instruction.

A specific poll to LID xxx, TID yyy is issued to obtain error status information. Normal processing continues.

Refer to the appropriate hardware manual for the 3271 control unit for information about the specific poll.

Notify the Com-plete system programmer.

This message is associated with the Com-plete 3271 device module. It appears when the response from a WRITE SELECT was not positive.

The write is retried. If this error occurs 3 times, a return code 12 is given to the application program. Normal processing continues.

This is a probable hardware error.

Notify the Com-plete system programmer.

This message is associated with the Com-plete 3271 device module. It appears when a READ CONTINUE channel program terminated with a unit check.

A specific poll to LID xxx, TID yyy is issued to obtain error status information. Normal processing continues.

Refer to the appropriate hardware manual for the 3271 control unit for information about the specific poll.

Notify the Com-plete system programmer.

This message is associated with the Com-plete 3271 device module. It appears when a WRITE channel program terminated with a unit check.

The TIBMPERR bit in the TIB associated with TID=yyy is turned on to report the output failure. A specific poll to LID xxx, TID yyy is issued to obtain error status information. Normal processing continues.

Refer to the appropriate hardware manual for the 3271 control unit for information about the specific poll.

Notify the Com-plete system programmer.

This message is associated with Com-plete's remote 3270 device support. It appears when an input block ended with an ENQ character.

Com-plete writes a NAK to the device and issues a specific poll to obtain sense and status information from the terminal. The sense and status information is logged and normal processing continues.

This message should be followed by another message that indicates the sense and status information received in response to Com-plete's s the specific poll. This message is useful in obtaining more specific information about the error. For information on the meaning of the sense and status bytes, refer to the appropriate hardware manual for the 3271 control unit.

A remote 3270 normally sends an ENQ character to indicate that the TCU has detected a parity error or cursor check on one of its terminals. These errors are usually temporary and recovery should be successful; however, if this message continues to appear, notify the Com-plete ccess system programmer.

This message is associated with the Com-plete 3271 device module. It appears when the byte count character received by the transmission control unit did not agree with the number of characters actually received.

The input is retried three times. After four failures, a specific poll to LID xxx TID yyy is issued to obtain error status information. Normal processing continues.

Refer to the appropriate hardware manual for the 3271 control unit for information about the specific poll.

Notify the Com-plete system programmer.

This message is associated with the Com-plete 3271 device module. It appears when the TEST REQUEST key was depressed by a 3271 terminal operator.

The input is ignored. Normal processing continues.

This message is associated with Com-plete's remote 3270 device support. It appears when input is received from a terminal that is not defined in the LGCB MACRO (TIBTAB) for the line from which the data was received. It also appears when input (other than sense and status) is received from a printer.

The value $1 indicates the LID number of the line from which the input data was received.

The value $2 is the TID number of terminal on the control unit from which the input data was received. It is not necessarily the terminal which sent the input data. To determine this, examine the data printed as '$3' (explained below); however, in some situations in a multi-drop environment, the TID can be useful in determining which transmission control unit sent the input data.

Com-plete reads all of the input, acknowledges receipt of the input, discards the input and continues normal processing.

This problem is normally caused by an incorrectly defined LGCB or by hardware errors. The ZA40011 message is normally printed when invalid input is received in response to a POLL/READ channel program, in which case, the data printed as '$3' has the following meaning:

1. Bytes 0 and 1 contain the hexadecimal length of the input data.

2. If byte 3 contains an SOH (x'01'), then bytes 7 and 8 contain the control unit poll address and device poll address that were sent by the control unit (in response to the POLL channel program).

3. If byte 3 does not contain an SOH, then bytes 4 and 5 contain the CU and device poll addresses instead of bytes 7 and 8.

This message is normally caused by hardware errors that are usually temporary. It is also normal for this message to be issued when remote terminals have recently been installed and have not yet been defined to Com-plete . If this message continues to appear, notify the Com-plete N system programmer.

This message is associated with the Com-plete 3271 device module. It appears when the sense and status message S/S=z for a 3271 control unit is received. For more information, refer to the appropriate hardware manual for an explanation of the status bytes.

Normal processing continues.

This message is associated with the Com-plete 3271 device module. It appears when three consecutive status messages indicating that intervention is required were received during a specific poll.

The terminal identified by LID xxx, TID yyy is dropped from the poll list. Normal processing continues.

Have TID yyy turned on.

This message is associated with the Com-plete 3271 device module. It appears when a specific poll is about to be issued for LID xxx, TID yyy.

A specific poll to LID xxx, TID yyy is issued after the ZA400014 message is displayed.

This message is associated with the Com-plete 3271 device module. It appears when a unit check condition has been detected while Com-plete is performing a read operation.

A specific poll will be issued after display of message ZA400014 to identify the terminal in error. Processing continues.

This message is associated with the 3271 device module and indicates that a unit exception was received without reading an EOT.

The device module reads the line to clear it, then resumes the poll of the line.

If this method occurs occasionally, it should not cause concern. If it occurs frequently, it indicates a line problem and the line should be checked. This type of line error is usually caused by noise on the line, and the read of the line will eliminate it.

This message is associated with the 3271 device module and indicates that the attempt to enable the line has failed.

The device module sets the line status to IGNORE. A subsequent restart of the line will retry the enable.

This problem may be caused by the wrong CUU in the TIBTAB definition for the line.

If a restart of the line causes the same message, there is probably an error in the hardware or the software definition of the line.

This message is associated with the 3271 device module and indicates that the device module received an excessive number of timeouts from the control unit for TID nnn.

The device module polls the control unit for TID nnn every two minutes until the timeouts stop. All TIDS on the same control unit are affected.

This message is frequently associated with a control unit that is turned off. If this is the case, when the control unit is turned on, normal polling will resume after two minute delay.

This message is associated with the 3271 device module. It appears when an excessive input exceeded internal buffers' capacity.

Com-plete reads the line in an attempt to clear it, then resumes the poll of the line.

There is probably an error in the hardware.
