Communications Subsystem (CS) Error Codes
RJE/XL uses a set of intrinsics called CS (Communications Subsystem) and
a link driver for communicating with the PSI card. (The RJE/XL version
of CS may be also referred to as RCS.) Both CS and link driver error
messages may occur during the operation of the PSI card (see the
following section for link driver error messages). The format of the CS
error message is as follows:
**** CS ERROR: x,yyy,zz
x is an integer specifying the type of error, as follows:
* 0 = Line open error
* 1 = Line read error
* 2 = Line write error
yyy is an integer specifying the CS irrecoverable error code, shown in
the following table.
zz is a number specifying the CS recoverable error code returned from the
communications driver (zz is a function of the yyy error code and may not
appear).
NOTE For background information useful in understanding CS errors, refer
to appendix C, "Binary Synchronous Communications" in the RJE
User/Programmer Manual.
Irrecoverable error codes are divided into the six general categories
which are listed in table A-1.
Table A-1. Irrecoverable Error Codes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Error | General Description |
| Codes | |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| 1-40 | The communications software could not open the line, possibly |
| | due to incorrect MPE I/O system configuration. |
| | |
| 41-50 | A CS intrinsics error occurred, perhaps associated with |
| | opening the line. Contact your HP representative. |
| | |
| 51-81 | A CS intrinsics error occurred which did not involve opening |
| | the line. Contact your HP representative. |
| | |
| 84-150 | A hardware error occurred. |
| | |
| 151-200 | An error or exceptional condition caused the line to be |
| | disconnected. |
| | |
| 201-250 | An error or exceptional condition occurred but the line was |
| | not disconnected. |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An error is "irrecoverable" when the system cannot recover from the error
without operator intervention. For RJE/XL, "recoverable" error messages
are only displayed after an irrecoverable error has occurred. This only
happens with irrecoverable error 207, "transmission retry count was
exhausted." In this case, the system has recovered from a failed
operation for a preset number of times before the counter was exhausted
and an irrecoverable error occurred.
The CS error descriptions are listed on the next few pages. (CS ERROR
207 is listed with the specific recoverable errors that can occur. Any
that occur frequently should be reported to your Hewlett-Packard
representative.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
205 MESSAGE CS ERROR 205
CAUSE The remote primary station bid for the line at the same time
the local bid for the line; line bid failed.
ACTION Since the remote is primary, the local user should issue an
RJOUT to receive the remote station's data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
206 MESSAGE CS ERROR 206
CAUSE While the local was sending data, the remote sent an RVI
indicating that it had an urgent message to send.
ACTION The current user should issue an RJOUT command to receive the
remote station's message.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
207,1 MESSAGE CS ERROR 207,1
CAUSE Transmission retry count was exhausted. The remote station
either sent an ID while bidding for the line or while
acknowledging a BID, which is not in the local stations list of
valid remote IDs.
ACTION The user should update the remote ID list or should try
connecting to a link with a known ID.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
207,2 MESSAGE CS ERROR 207,2
CAUSE Transmission retry count was exhausted. An unintelligible
sequence was received from remote. This is normally caused by
a noisy line.
ACTION Contact your local HP representative to test the quality of the
line and modems.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
207,3 MESSAGE CS ERROR 207,3
CAUSE Transmission retry count was exhausted. Block check character
error. This is normally caused by a noisy line. A text block
sequence sent by the remote station was garbled on the line and
the local station responded with a NAK for the specified number
of retries before giving up.
ACTION Contact your local HP representative to test the quality of the
line and modems.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
207,4 MESSAGE CS ERROR 207,4
CAUSE Transmission retry count was exhausted. Remote did not respond
to text. The local station times out and sends an ENQ
requesting a response from remote. If this happens retry
times, the local will give up and report this error.
ACTION Contact your local HP representative to test the quality of the
line and modems.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
207,7 MESSAGE CS ERROR 207,7
CAUSE Transmission retry count was exhausted. Remote did not respond
to linebid. If level one connection is established and the
remote is not responding to local's bid, this usually means the
remote is not seeing the linebid possibly because of a bad
cable connection.
ACTION Contact your local HP representative to test the quality of the
line and modems. Check all cable connections.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
207,10 MESSAGE CS ERROR 207,10
CAUSE Transmission retry count was exhausted. The remote sent an ENQ
to request a retransmission of the local's last response.
ACTION Take a CS trace of the problem. Contact your local HP
representative to test the quality of the line and modems.
Check all cable connections.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
207,11 MESSAGE CS ERROR 207,11
CAUSE Transmission retry count was exhausted. The text sent by the
local station was garbled during transmission and the remote
station requested a resend.
ACTION Contact your local HP representative to test the quality of the
line and modems. Check all cable connections.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
209 MESSAGE CS ERROR 209
CAUSE The text block timer (PSI) expired while waiting for text from
the remote station. This usually means the remote system could
not respond in time, or the system is no longer communicating
with your system.
ACTION You can use an #RJCONTINUE procedure to recover from this
situation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
210 MESSAGE CS ERROR 210
CAUSE Remote sent unexpected EOT; probably due to an irrecoverable
error.
ACTION An RJCOUNTINUE procedure can be used to recover from this
situation. If protocol problems with the remote host or INP
are indicated, contact your HP representative.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
217 MESSAGE CS ERROR 217
CAUSE No line bid was received from remote stations; local station
timed out.
ACTION You can use an #RJCONTINUE procedure to recover from this
situation.
