NonStop FTAM Diagnostic Messages
NonStop FTAM Diagnostic Messages
NonStop FTAM diagnostic messages are a subset of the ISO-defined FTAM diagnostic 
messages. The NonStop diagnostic messages provide more complete information than 
the corresponding ISO diagnostic messages, insofar because these errors are specific 
to the NonStop product. The NonStop initiator generates a few diagnostic messages, in 
the case of abort indications and open confirms.
For information on the cause, effect, and recovery action for each diagnostic message 
that the NonStop initiator can generate, see the OSI/FTAM Programming Reference 
Manual. For information on the cause, effect, and recovery action for each diagnostic 
message that the NonStop responder can generate, see the OSI/FTAM Responder 
Manual.
3000 - 3030  Selection related  Diagnostic messages related to 
problems in the file-select regime 
(select, create, delete, deselect)
4000 - 4007  File management related  Diagnostic messages related to 
problems in reading or changing file 
attributes
5000 - 5041  Access related  Diagnostic messages related to 
problems in file access (open, read, 
write, locate, erase)
6000 - 6017  Recovery related  Diagnostic messages related to 
problems in file recovery
Table 3-7. Sources and Observers of Errors
Source/Observer Identifier 
(ZFTM-VAL-ENTITYREF-) Value Description
NOCATPOSS  0  Source of the error cannot be identified. This 
identifier is not valid for the observer.
INITFSRVUSR  1  Initiating file-service user (the application).
INITFPMCH  2  Initiating file protocol machine (the initiator).
SRVFPMCH  3  Service supporting the protocol machines (the local 
or remote OSI stack). This identifier is not valid for 
the observer.
RESFPMCH  4  Responding file protocol machine.
RESFSRVUSR  5  Responding file-service user (file storage system).
