(Printer, Tape, Spooler)

(MAX CHARS=num)?

A message was sent to you by the PRINTOPREPLY intrinsic.

REPLY/=REPLY to the message.

CAN'T INITIALLY SPOOL LDEV#nnn

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.

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.

FORMS: formsmessage

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.

Information only.

LDEV nnn,UNABLE TO ALLOCATE $STDLIST

$STDLIST not able to be allocated.

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.

LDEV#nnn FORMS ALIGNED OK (Y/N)?

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.

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.

LDEV#nnn IN USE, DOWN PENDING

You have issued a DOWN command, but the device is in use by a process.

As soon as the use count goes to zero, the device will be down, and you will be notified.

LDEV#nnn NOT READY

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.

Place the device online.

LDEV#nnn OFFLINE

You are trying to access a device that is no longer available to the file system.

If the device is functional, enter UP ldev to place device online.

LDEV#nnn PAPER OUT

You ran out of paper on the indicated device.

Install and align the paper, and place the device online.

LDEV#nnn QUEUE EMPTY NO I/O TO ABORT FOR DEVICE nnn

You attempted an ABORTIO or =ABORTIO, and no requests were pending on the device.

Information only.

LDEV#nnn UNIT FAILURE

Bad status was returned from the specified logical device.

Retry. If the problem persists call your Application Engineering Organization (AEO).

MAX SPOOFLE KILOSECTORS IN USE, ALL QUEUES SHUT

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.

When space becomes available, you may reopen the queues with the OPENQ command.

NO MORE SPACE IN SPOOL CLASS, ALL QUEUES SHUT

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.

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.

REQUEST REQUIRING OPERATOR REPLY FOR PIN pin HAS BEEN ABORTED.

A request for operator response (for example, =REPLY/REPLY) for pin is no longer pending. The user probably hit BREAK and entered ABORT

Informational only.

SP#nnn/#Onnn DEFERRED

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).

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).

SP#nnn/#Onnn DEFERRED, SPOOFLE I/O ERROR

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.

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.

SP#nnn/#Innn DELETED, SPOOFLE I/O ERROR

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.

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.

SP#nnn/IS jobnum;filename ON LDEV#nnn (Y/N)?

You are asked to verify that you did request jobnum;filename forms on the device (ldev) indicated.

Enter ~~=REPLY pin, YES to confirm that forms were requested or ~~=REPLY pin, NO to reject the request, and defer the spoolfile.

SP#nnn/SPOOLED IN

The spooler on the specified spoolee ldev has begun input spooling.

Information only.

SP#nnn/SPOOLED OUT

The spooler on the specified spoolee ldev has begun output spooling.

Information only.

SP#nnn/STOPPED

A spooler has terminated on the specified spoolee ldev.

None.

SP#nnn/#InnnDELETED, SPOOFLE I/O ERROR

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.

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.

SP#nnn/STOPPED, SPOOLEE I/O ERROR

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.

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.

SP#nnn/STOPPED, SPOOLEE NOT ACCEPTING

The specified ldev is neitherjob-accepting nor data-accepting, causing the input spooler to stop. It cannot recognize further JOB or DATA commands.

Use the ACCEPT JOBS,ldev command or the ACCEPT DATA,ldev command and STARTSPOOL ldev to restart the input spooler.

STANDARD FORMS ON LDEV #nnn

You have special forms mounted on a device, and a device file not requiring special forms is assigned to the device.

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.

UNABLE TO ALLOCATE $STDLIST FOR Jnn JOB WAITING

$STDLIST not able to be allocated.

None.

LDEV #nnn Tape Has Lost Tension - MISLOAD ERROR

The leader on the tape is not long enough. It must be at least 12 feet.

Load a new tape, or move the "Beginning Of Tape" marker on the current tape.
