Diagnostic Screens

Compaq NonStop™ Pathway/iTS SCREEN COBOL Reference Manual—426750-001

B-2

Cause. The terminal was stopped or aborted by command from the system operator.

Cause. The terminal was suspended by command from the system operator.

Cause. The terminal was suspended because an error occurred during program

execution.

Cause. The terminal was suspended without possibility of restart because an error

occurred during program execution.

Using Alternate Diagnostic Message Routines

You can replace the Pathway generated diagnostic messages with, for example,

messages displayed in another language. To change the messages you must replace the

PATHTCP routine DIAGNOSTIC^MESSAGE with a user-written routine having the

same name. This is handled in the same manner as the ADVISORY^MESSAGE

procedure previously described in this appendix.

The declaration for the DIAGNOSTIC^MESSAGE procedure is as follows:

PROC DIAGNOSTIC^MESSAGE( DIAG^FORMAT,MESSAGE,MSGLEN,CONTEXT );

INT .EXT DIAG^FORMAT( DIAG^FORMAT^DEF );

! Byte addressable diagnostic info struct.

STRING .MESSAGE; ! Returned --Message to display (byte addr).

INT .MSGLEN; ! Returned --Length in bytes of message.

INT .EXT CONTEXT;

The procedure is called repeatedly to initialize the screen, one call for each row of the

screen. The parameter DIAG^FORMAT is described in Example B-1 and defines the

error condition and the sequencing to build the screen. The parameter CONTEXT

provides one word of storage that is not altered between successive calls to initialize a

given screen; the parameter is set to zero before the first call in the initialization

sequence.
