Chapter 26 Printer, Tape, and Spooler Console
--------------------------------------------------------------
(Printer, Tape, Spooler)
This chapter lists the messages that you may encounter while managing
printers, tapes and spoolers.
1 MESSAGE (MAX CHARS=num)?
CAUSE A message was sent to you by the PRINTOPREPLY
intrinsic.
ACTION REPLY/=REPLY to the message.
---------------------------------------------------------------
2 MESSAGE CAN'T INITIALLY SPOOL LDEV#nnn
CAUSE A nonspoolable ldev was configured to be initially
spooled. You need to specify either a legitimate
spoolee (an ldev capable of being spooled) or an
ldev that is job/session accepting.
ACTION This indicates a system configuration error. The
device specified cannot be spooled. The ACCEPT
[JOBS,]ldev command can be used to allow the JOB
command if the device is a legitimate input
spoolee; then use STARTSPOOL ldev to start the
spooler.
---------------------------------------------------------------
3 MESSAGE FORMS: formsmessage
CAUSE A user has requested special forms to be mounted on
a line printer. The device file and job number are
printed on the following device assignment request
by the PIN.
ACTION Information only.
---------------------------------------------------------------
4 MESSAGE LDEV nnn,UNABLE TO ALLOCATE $STDLIST
CAUSE $STDLIST not able to be allocated.
ACTION Recovery from this type of overload is automatic in
a session. In a batch job, the spooling queues
have shut or the system has exceeded the MAX # OF
OPEN SPOOLFILES. Check the output device of the
jobs in the WAIT state with SHOWDEVnn to see if it
is unavailable (queue shut). If so, reopen the
spool queue with OPENQ. If the printer is listed as
AVAIL, enter an OPENQ command or a STARTSPOOL
command to restart the printer. If there is a lack
of disk space, you may have to store off
spoolfiles, or use START NORECOVERY with the
RECOVER LOST DISC SPACE option, before using OPENQ.
---------------------------------------------------------------
5 MESSAGE LDEV#nnn FORMS ALIGNED OK (Y/N)?
CAUSE You are asked by the system, following the printing
of the standard "forms alignment image," if the
forms are positioned correctly on the specified
ldev.
ACTION You are required to enter =REPLY pin, YES or =REPLY
pin , NO. If the image is correctly positioned,
=REPLY, YES and the requesting program will
continue. If the image is not correctly
positioned, reposition the forms and =REPLY,
~~NO''. This will cause the alignment image to be
printed again, and the question will be reissued.
For a CIPER device, the forms alignment image must
be printed using printer controls. It is not
automatically printed by MPE/iX.
---------------------------------------------------------------
6 MESSAGE LDEV#nnn IN USE, DOWN PENDING
CAUSE You have issued a DOWN command, but the device is
in use by a process.
ACTION As soon as the use count goes to zero, the device
will be down, and you will be notified.
---------------------------------------------------------------
7 MESSAGE LDEV#nnn NOT READY
CAUSE The specified device is offline or the media is not
mounted. If other action is required such as
changing the tape reel, the program will display
messages to that effect.
ACTION Place the device online.
---------------------------------------------------------------
8 MESSAGE LDEV#nnn OFFLINE
CAUSE You are trying to access a device that is no longer
available to the file system.
ACTION If the device is functional, enter UP ldev to place
device online.
---------------------------------------------------------------
9 MESSAGE LDEV#nnn PAPER OUT
CAUSE You ran out of paper on the indicated device.
ACTION Install and align the paper, and place the device
online.
---------------------------------------------------------------
10 MESSAGE LDEV#nnn QUEUE EMPTY NO I/O TO ABORT FOR DEVICE
nnn
CAUSE You attempted an ABORTIO or =ABORTIO, and no
requests were pending on the device.
ACTION Information only.
---------------------------------------------------------------
11 MESSAGE LDEV#nnn UNIT FAILURE
CAUSE Bad status was returned from the specified logical
device.
ACTION Retry. If the problem persists call your
Application Engineering Organization (AEO).
---------------------------------------------------------------
12 MESSAGE MAX SPOOFLE KILOSECTORS IN USE, ALL QUEUES SHUT
CAUSE The configured maximum number of spooled device
file kilosectors are in use. MPE/iX shuts all
output queues (equivalent to SHUTQ ldev), on all
ldevs and SHUTQ devclass on all device classes), so
users are automatically prevented from creating new
spooled device files.
ACTION When space becomes available, you may reopen the
queues with the OPENQ command.
---------------------------------------------------------------
13 MESSAGE NO MORE SPACE IN SPOOL CLASS, ALL QUEUES SHUT
CAUSE No more space exists in the (disk) class SPOOL.
MPE/iX shuts all output queues (equivalent to SHUTQ
ldev on all ldevs and SHUTQ devclass on all device
classes), so users are automatically prevented from
creating new spooled device files.
ACTION Store on tape unnecessary spoolfiles and purge them
from the system. A long term solution would be to
reconfigure the system using SYSGEN for more disk
space. When space becomes available, you may
reopen the queues with the OPENQ command.
---------------------------------------------------------------
14 MESSAGE REQUEST REQUIRING OPERATOR REPLY FOR PIN pin HAS
BEEN ABORTED.
CAUSE A request for operator response (for example,
=REPLY/REPLY) for pin is no longer pending. The
user probably hit BREAK and entered ABORT
ACTION Informational only.
---------------------------------------------------------------
15 MESSAGE SP#nnn/#Onnn DEFERRED
CAUSE The output spooler on the specified ldev has
deferred the spooled device file with the specified
device file identification Onnn), due to some
action taken by you (for example, refusing a
spooler's forms request).
ACTION To allow the deferred device file to print from the
beginning, enter ALTSPOOLFILE #Onnn;PRI=k (where k
is a value above the current outfence).
---------------------------------------------------------------
16 MESSAGE SP#nnn/#Onnn DEFERRED, SPOOFLE I/O ERROR
CAUSE The output spooler on ldev has encountered an error
while opening or reading the spooled device file
with identification #Onnn. The spooler has
deferred the file.
ACTION To allow the deferred device file to try to print
again use ALTSPOOLFILE #Onnn;PRI=k (where k is a
value above the current outfence). To delete the
file, enter DELETESPOOLFILE command.
---------------------------------------------------------------
17 MESSAGE SP#nnn/#Innn DELETED, SPOOFLE I/O ERROR
CAUSE The input spooler on the specified spoolee ldev has
deleted spooled device file #Innn due to a disk I/O
error or a problem obtaining disk space.
ACTION Ensure that a sufficient space exists for the
spooled device file. The system operator should
enter the DISCFREE command. Check free space for
all SPOOL class disks. Delete unnecessary spooled
device files if possible. Allow output spoolers to
free up space and try input operation again. Try
to recover transient disk space by doing a START
NORECOVERY, if trouble is not indicated.
---------------------------------------------------------------
18 MESSAGE SP#nnn/IS jobnum;filename ON LDEV#nnn (Y/N)?
CAUSE You are asked to verify that you did request
jobnum;filename forms on the device (ldev)
indicated.
ACTION Enter =REPLY pin, YES to confirm that forms were
requested or =REPLY pin, NO to reject the request,
and defer the spoolfile.
---------------------------------------------------------------
19 MESSAGE SP#nnn/SPOOLED IN
CAUSE The spooler on the specified spoolee ldev has begun
input spooling.
ACTION Information only.
---------------------------------------------------------------
20 MESSAGE SP#nnn/SPOOLED OUT
CAUSE The spooler on the specified spoolee ldev has begun
output spooling.
ACTION Information only.
---------------------------------------------------------------
21 MESSAGE SP#nnn/STOPPED
CAUSE A spooler has terminated on the specified spoolee
ldev.
ACTION None.
---------------------------------------------------------------
22 MESSAGE SP#nnn/#InnnDELETED, SPOOFLE I/O ERROR
CAUSE The input spooler on the specified spoolee ldev has
detected a disk I/O error or a problem obtaining
disk space for a spooled device file. The spooler
stops, and the active device file is deleted.
ACTION Ensure that sufficient space exists for the spooled
device file. Have the system manager use the
DISCFREE command to check the free space for all
SPOOL class disks. Delete unnecessary spooled
device files if possible. Allow output spoolers to
free up space and try input operation again. If
the trouble is not disk space, then a disk I/O
error is indicated.
---------------------------------------------------------------
23 MESSAGE SP#nnn/STOPPED, SPOOLEE I/O ERROR
CAUSE The spooler on the indicated spoolee ldev has
detected an error in attempting to read, write, or
control its spoolee. The spoolee stops
immediately; an input spooler will delete its
currently ACTIVE spooled device file, while an
output spooler will close its currently ACTIVE
spooled device file. May be attempting a rewind on
a magnetic tape device without a tape mounted.
This generally indicates a hardware problem, but
can also occur in response to an ABORTIO command.
ACTION Try to restart the spooler STARTSPOOLldev. If the
problem persists, the device or the medium (disk,
magnetic tape) is faulty. If device is magnetic
tape, check that a tape is mounted.
---------------------------------------------------------------
24 MESSAGE SP#nnn/STOPPED, SPOOLEE NOT ACCEPTING
CAUSE The specified ldev is neitherjob-accepting nor
data-accepting, causing the input spooler to stop.
It cannot recognize further JOB or DATA commands.
ACTION Use the ACCEPT JOBS,ldev command or the ACCEPT
DATA,ldev command and STARTSPOOL ldev to restart
the input spooler.
---------------------------------------------------------------
25 MESSAGE STANDARD FORMS ON LDEV #nnn
CAUSE You have special forms mounted on a device, and a
device file not requiring special forms is assigned
to the device.
ACTION Reply to the message by entering either =REPLY pin,
YES when standard forms are mounted or =REPLY pin,
NO when special forms are mounted and printing is
to be deferred.
---------------------------------------------------------------
26 MESSAGE UNABLE TO ALLOCATE $STDLIST FOR Jnn JOB WAITING
CAUSE $STDLIST not able to be allocated.
ACTION None.
---------------------------------------------------------------
27 MESSAGE LDEV #nnn Tape Has Lost Tension - MISLOAD ERROR
CAUSE The leader on the tape is not long enough. It must
be at least 12 feet.
ACTION Load a new tape, or move the "Beginning Of Tape"
marker on the current tape.
