CONFIGURING THE SERIES 64, 68 OR 70:
For an HP 3000 Series 64, 68 or 70 system, the modem may be connected to a standard modem port via a
jumper cable at the Remote Diagnostic Interface. The Remote Diagnostic Interface is in the upper right
corner of the rear of the machine. See the CABLES section for details.
If the Remote Diagnostic Interface is being used in this way, the modem and the system MAY need to be
configured differently. The following questions will determine if a different configuration should be
used:
1. Is the system a series 64, 68, or 70?
2. Is the modem jumpered through the Remote Diagnostic Interface?
3. Do you plan to use HPTrend or Predictive Support?
4. Do you prefer NOT to power off the modem prior to entering
the "RM" command to enable remote console? (This procedure is taken
when the Response Center must dial in and access the system console to
perform certain maintenance or diagnostic functions).
If the answer to ANY of these questions is NO, then use the configuration discussed under
CONFIGURING THE SYSTEM in this Application Note. If you do not plan to use HPTrend or Predictive
Support, configure the system and the modem as recommended in the MANUAL DIAL
CONFIGURATION section of this Application Note.
If the answer to ALL four questions is YES, then configure the system and modem as follows:

SYSTEM SECURITY
If you configure the modems for Autodial, this will affect the system’s security. If the phone connection
is broken before "BYE" is typed, the session may remain active and the next person who dials in could be
connected to the same session. To maintain system security you could:
e Disconnect or turn off the modem before and after a session.
e Use the REFUSE and ACCEPT commands to control access to the modem port. Enter the
REFUSE command at the end of each session and the ACCEPT command before the start of
à new session.
na. Las
HPTrend and Predictive Support are the only supported applications that can autodial a modem on the HP
3000. Other applications involving programmatic autodial are unsupported due to the security
considerations discussed above.
CABLES
Modem to System Cable: :
All HP modems are shipped with a 30062B modem cable. This cable is a nonsymmetrical cable. One end
of the cable is labeled DATASET and must be connected to the modem. The other end of the cable is
labeled COMPUTER and must be connected to the computer system.

HP 3000 Questions Commonly Received by the Response Centers
Q. What does it mean, when the RPG compiler sends the error message "06 T ENTRY OR HEADER
SPACE OVERFLOW IN USL FILE" in RPG Version A. 08.00?
A. This error may be produced due to large tables/arrays in your program.
In previous versions the compiler may not have checked correctly as to whether there was enough
space for the data in the USL file. As a consequence, the PREP aborted due to the errors contained in
the USL file.
‘To eliminate error 06, a larger USL file must be used (refer to the RPG Reference Manual, part
number 32104-90001, Appendix 3, page 4. If this does not help you must reduce your tables/arrays. -
E E RELRERLER REL RELLEL +
Q. When using the FORM command in Query, the ITEMS/SETS that were entered in the data base
— using DBCHANGE are not displayed. What is the reason for this?
A. After having entered ITEMS/SETS in the data base using DBCHANGE, you must set the ITEM/SET
SECURITY for these ITEMS/SETS in the SECURITY SCREEN. Otherwise, the system will create an
empty list for the read and write capabilities ("(/)") by default. In this case, only the CREATOR of the
data base has access capabilities.
* E E * & * * * + + & & & * à* * & * * & + * % + &
Q. What could cause an error message that appears to have nothing to do with the MPE command just
entered?
À. You must be certain that you did not enable a UDC command that has the same name as the
above-mentioned MPE command.

Q. Is it possible to create labeled tapes with the MPE /XL STORE command?
While trying to access labeled tapes with the usual MPE/V STORE on XL the following error
message: UNSUPPORTED DEVICE ACCESS STORE /RESTORE ERROR 496 was received.
A. To create labeled tapes add to the XL STORE command the option ;TRANSPORT

How can a self-written TERMTYPE FILE be connected to the list file of a special application ?
Before running the application the following file equations must be entered:
(TTXY.PUB.SYS is the new TERMTYPE FILE)
FILE ENVFILE=TTXY.PUB.SYS ; LOCK
FILE listfile;DEV=list device ldev#;ENV=%ENVFILE.

Is there a way to find out, which forms are allocated to which program (program = subsystem, e.g.
ENGINEERING-DATA in MM, SC in PM or MNTPIC in MNT)? This may be relevant, when you
want to know how many pooled processes must be defined for the individual subsystems and which
subsystem contains the forms that are most frequently used.
The dataset COMMAND-MAP in the data base TIPDB of the Tools Account provides information on
what form is allocated to what subsystem. The field COMMAND contains the form name and the
field SUBSYS the corresponding subsystem name. Use QUERY to create special reports on that subject.

How can data records be written from a COBOL program without transferring a "CARRIAGE
RETURN"?
To write data records from a COBOL program to a file without transferring the CR of each write, the
intrinsics FOPEN and FWRITE must be used in connection with the following actions:
1. The carriage control directive must be enabled by setting the 7th bit in the FOPTIONS of the
intrinsic FOPEN to 1
2. The CONTROL parameter of the intrinsic FWRITE must be set to #320 (octal).

When creating RDIC files using RDIC3000. PUB.SYS the RDIC file does not contain all PARENT
elements, although it was indicated that all elements shall be included. What is the reason for this?
A. This is the case, when the DICTIONARY contains the following relationship:
PARENT
<1> CHILD1
<-2-> CHILD12
<1> CHILD?
<-2-> CHILD21
<-2-> CHILD22
RDIC 3000 only includes the elements of the highest and the lowest levels (in ¢ our example: PARENT,
CHILD12, CHILD21, CHILD22).

Q. How can the MPE/XL console messages saved in the system log files be reviewed ?
A. To view these files perform the following:
: SYSDIAG

LOGTOOL> STATUS (displays the system log files,
e.g...L0G0006,L0G0007,L0G0008,...)

—£ Q. When starting COBOL applications after an MPE release update, the error message UNRESOLVED
PROG EXTERNALS SL BINDING ERR may appear. What is the reason for it?
во O A. In the MPE V release Vdelta4 and MPE XL release A. 20.00 or later the COBOL 68 procedures are
В obsolete; they are no longer resident in the SL.PUB.SYS. However, in order to give access to these
- progedures : to. programs - using them, the obsolete software was put into the USL file
COB6 8LIB: PUB. SYS. | |
If one of your COBOL - applications aborts with the error described. above you should proçeed as
fot lows:
1) ‘Create an SL in the group of your application (if a SL does
а not yet exist) |
‚ ” E
me AE

Q.
A.
2) Add the USL file COBEBLIB.PUB.SYS to this SL via the
SEGMENTER
3) Run the application with ...¿LIB=G.
+ & + * * * + * à * * * * + + * * * * +
When using V-Delta-4, V-Delta-5 and MPE/XL 1.2, the SL.PUB.SYS does not contain any
COBOL 68 segments. What effect does this have on MPD products?
If you use the MPD applications MM 3000, PM 3000 or MNT 3000 with one of the above-mentioned
operating system versions, you will encounter problems due to missing COBOL 68 segments in the SL of
the Tools Account.
The MRP in MM3000 may for example abort with the following error message:
PEC 752
LIEC 16
LFSEC O FAILURE TO START SUCCESSIVE PROCESS.
A request for Customizer reports will lead to the message UNRESOLVED EXTERNAL
REFERENCES’
Therefore, the following procedure must be carried through, in order to add the missing segments:
1. All users must be logged off, so that no user has access to
the Tools Account.
2. Log on to the Tools Account and continue as follows:
: HELLO MGR. <TOOLSACCT >, PUB
: SEGMENTER
-USL COBESLIB. PUB.SYS
-SL SL
-ADDSL COBLIB14
-EXIT
You may also contact the Response Center as they can supply you with an installation job for this
problem.
After this the MRP and the Customizer reports may be started without any problems.

Q. What does the IMAGE DBOPEN condition code -204 mean?
A. The return of this undocumented condition code is caused by a STACK OVERFLOW. Since the MPE
release UBMIT, the DBOPEN procedure in special situations, especially during the recovery after
system failures, requires at least an extra of 1488 words to expand the stack. The CC is set to -204 in
the case where stack space 1s lacking.
To avoid this abort of an application, you should run it with the options :MAXDATA or/and ¡NOCB.

Q. How can the current software version of your application be determined?
A. When working on problems and questions in connection with your application, we often ask you to
give us the current version of your application. The following shows how to determine current
“versions: '
1. Application version
To determine the current Application Version log on as MGR in the application account and display
the file VERSNID in the editor. The commands are as follows:
: HELLO MGR.MM3000
| | :RUN EDITOR.PUB.SYS
O — /T VERSNID
/L ALL

2 HP MATERIALS MANAGEMENT
T he first line shows the product number HP32260 followed by the current MM3000 version A. 09.07.
2. Tools version
| | The Tools Account version may be determined’ by starting the program VERSIONP with the
_ following command:
| :
HELLO MGR.MM3000
o a :RUN VERSIONP.SYSPGM, <TOOLSACCOUNT> ; LI B=G

Q. How can profile changes carried through in the NMMGR subsystem (e.g. in order to connect a new
printer to a DTC) be enabled on a 3000/XL system?
A. After creating the new profile, perform the following actions:
1) Run VALIDATE in the NMMGR
2) Enter SYSGEN, then SYSFILE and type RDCC (hold, keep, exit)
3) START NORECOVERY
4) DOWNLOAD of the DTC (turn off and on)
* * * * * * * * * * * * + + + + * * * *
Q. As far as XL systems are concerned, what is the meaning of files having a data base name followed
by the Appendix GB (<data base name>GB)?
A. On MPE/V the data base control blocks are always put into extra data segments. Since MPE/XL does
not know extra data segments, the control blocks are written into MPE files. One of these files is <data
base name>GB containing the DBG control block. It is created during the first DBOPEN on the data
base and purged after the last DBCLOSE. Therefore, the -GB file can only be seen, when the data base

Q: When adding up two arrays, only the first two elements are taken into account. What is the reason
for this?
A. This happens, whenever result indicators are used during addition. The addition will be performed
correctly, 1f these result indicators are not used.
Until Version 08.03 of RPG it was possible to use result indicators during arithmetic operations,
although this was not provided by the manual. Starting with Version 08.03 the use of result
indicators is suppressed by the RPG compiler. If result indicators are used in a program during
arithmetic operations, the following message appears:
633 Indicators in Col. 54/59 not allowed for this
operation. Assume blank.
* * * * * * * * * * à * * à à * * à + +
Q. How can BRW reports be transferred from an MPE/V to an MPE/XL system (Native Mode)?
A. BRW reports may be transferred by using the following procedure:
1. Save all data (files used/data bases, dictionaries, specification files, report job files (RJOB),
configuration files) on the MPE/V system and transfer it to the MPE/XL system.
2. Create a BRWDIC file using the program BRWD3000.PUB.SYS, BRWAPPD.PUB.SYS or
BRWSD. PUB.SYS. If MPE or KSAM files contain real numbers, this must be indicated in the
appropriate dictionary before the BRWDIC file is created. dDictionary/V --> adding the
LONGNAME IREAL-HP3000,; System Dictionary --> adding the ELEMENT-SUBTYPES
HP3000)
3. Rename the report job files (RJOB) so that they correspond to the file names used in BRW/XL.
4. Rename the RJOB files to BRWIJOB.
5. Rename the RCONF files to BRWCONF.
6. Compile the BRW/V reports using BRWXL or BRWCOMP. PUB. SYS.
Refer to the BRW/XL Reference Manual, part number 35360-60002 Appendix F, page 3.

. How can BRW reports be transferred from an MPE /XL (Native Mode) to an MPE/V system?
‚ BRW reports may be transferred by using the following procedure:
1. Save all files (files/data bases, BR WJOB files, BRWCONF files) on the MPE/XL system and transfer
them to the MPE/V system.
2. Rename the BRWIJOB files so that they correspond to the file names used in BRW/V. Rename the
BRWIJOB files to RJOB.
3, Rename the BRWCONF files to RCONF.
4. Create the RDIC file (Dictionary --> RDIC3000.PUB.SYS; System Dictionary -->
RSYSDIC. PUB. SYS; Application Dictionary --> RAPPDIC.PUB. SYS)
5. Compile the specif ication files on the MPE/XL system using BRW or RCOMP. PUB. SYS.
6. Save the Report Execution Files on the MPE/XL system and transfer them to the MPE/V system.
Refer to the BRW/XL Reference Manual, part number 35360-60002 Appendix F, page 5.

Q. What must be done to update the fields UNIT -RUN-LBR-SID and SETUP -LBR -STD?
A. These fields are standard fields and are updated by the program PMS -COST-ROLLOVER. There 1s no
write access through a screen. The fields are only used for documentation and accounting purposes and
not for scheduling.
+ + + + + + à + # à & à à à & à à à à +
Q. How does the program PUR. COMMITMENT calculate the value of the field REM-COMMITMENT?
A. The program PUR.COMMITMENT creates a list of all orders left to receive together with the dates,
at which the orders will become due. The program creates the file IOS1600 that contains records from
the datasets PURCH-ORDER-DTL and ITEM-DATA. The calculation of the field
REM- COMMITMENT depends on whether the value of the field PRICE -PO is zero or greater than
Zero.
If the value of the purchase price is greater than zero, the following calculation will be carried
- through:
REM-COMMITMENT = PRICE-PO x QTY-LEFT-TO-REC
If the value of the purchase price is equal to zero, the calculation is carried through on the basis of
the ITEM-DATA records and would then look like this:
REM-COMMITMENT = STD-UNIT-COST x QTY-LEFT-TO-REC
Please note that the value of the field STD-UNIT-COST 1s the sum of the field values
STD-MATL-COST, STD-LBR-EXP-RATE, STD- TL-OVH-COST, STD-LL-LBR-COST and
STD-LL-OVH-COST.
E E RERRRRERRRRERRREXLTLE
Q. When scheduling orders, which of the two queue times (operation or workstation queue time) shall be
taken into account?
A. The scheduling of orders is based on the queue time from the WORK-STATION dataset. The
operation queue time (OPERATION-MSTR) is used as a field containing helpful information for the
person in charge of the order scheduling, as this queue time may make up for the biggest share in the
total order turn- around time.

Q. How may an SAI terminal be restarted after abortion?
A. If a pooled SAI terminal aborts and the message
"Desired function not available now TIPERR 1239"
appears, the terminal may be restarted using the START-UDC. If START is entered after the MPE
prompt, the START-UDC 1s activated and the following message is displayed:
"Please enter the name of the terminal to be started"
This message must be answered by indicating the appropriate terminal name, that is SAI terminal).
Enter // to close your message. Please note that you must be logged on to the appropriate application
account.
Your terminal is defined as a pool terminal, if it is allocated the logical device number 1. The device
number is contained in the Customizer. However, it can also be checked using the CHGTERM-UDC.
* * * * & * * * * * à #% * * + * * à * à
О. What consequences has a !'COMMENT SDEBUG in case of a job abortion?
A. If a program aborts without a precise error message and the abortion message on the SAI terminal is
not sufficient to tackle the problem, the Response Center Engineers often recommend to include a
ICOMMENT $DEBUG in the first line of the appropriate JCL. $DEBUG is a special monitor
command that instructs the monitor to print the appropriate JCL in its whole length. The printout
shows at what step the program aborts. In addition, a supplementary error message 1s displayed. The
ICOMMENT $DEBUG entry should be withdrawn from the JCL afterwards. Otherwise, a job listing 15
created on every program run that calls the corresponding JCL.

Q. VINIT >COND does not always provide larger fragments of free disc space. What is the reason for
this?
A. VINIT >COND scans the used disc fragments in ascending address order and tries to place each of
these fragments onto a fragment of free disc space having a LOWER address.
Example 1
Free 1 Free 2 . Free 3 <= —. Free 4 .
— Used 1 Used 2 Used 3 a Used 4
RUNNING VINIT >COND +
1) Used 1 cannot be moved.
2) |----||------- | |-----0——— | 1---|
Free 1 Free 2 Free 4
Used 2 Used 1 Used 3 Used 4
3) |--=-||------- | =m mmm | |---|
Free 1 | Free 4
Used 2 Used | Used 3 Used 4
4) |----]]-------]--=---==--—- ET |
Free 1 Free 4
Used 2 Used 1 Used 3 Used 4
Example 2 (no larger fragments of free disc space are
created):
| deL [eee | =m mmm | |---==-==----- |
Free 1 Free 2 Free 3 Free 4
Used 1 Used 2 о Used 3 Used 4
RUNNING | VINIT >COND
It is ‘obvious that none of the used areas can be moved onto a free fragment having a LOWER address.
