Information Buffer Structures
ZGPI-ST-INFO-5 (Value 50)
This structure provides extended error information to be reported to your Compaq
representative. This structure is returned when an internal decode or encode function
has returned an error.
All five codes contain internal GPI information defined by Compaq.
CODE 1
This field contains the error source code which identifies the GWABS internal
function which has returned the error.
CODE 2
The field contains the error that was returned from the GWABS internal function.
CODE 3
This field contains the offset into the encoded PDU, where the decode or encode
process stopped because of the error. In some cases this point in the message may
represent the end of the data for the protocol element which caused the problem and
in other cases can occur precisely on the offending protocol element. A copy of the
encoded message and some experience with ASN.1 encoding rules is needed to
investigate this problem. Your Compaq analyst has access to tools that can print the
encoded message.
CODE 4
This field contains an internal pointer and is of little use in debugging.
CODE 5
This field contains an OSI/MHS internal code (called the kind code) of the protocol
element which caused the encoding or decoding problem. This is a code generated
when the body of X.400 protocol is compiled. It is subject to change with different
releases, but is a very important piece of information in debugging this type of
problem. Refer to the GPI DDL for the definitions of the kind codes.
