name. When the same application enters into trap again, the index appended to the
save file will be incremented by 1.
The number of digits in the index will be <= 4.
VHS Inspect File Validation
Each time VHS loads the VHS Inspect file, a validation is performed. VHS validates the
keywords, PROCESS, EPROCESS, PROGRAMFILE, EPROGRAMFILE, LANGUAGE,
and ELANGUAGE and what follows those keywords on the same line. VHS does not
validate the information between two sections; in particular, Inspect/eInspect
commands are not validated. Also, if VHS rejects a section keyword or name, all the
following lines are also rejected until VHS finds another valid keyword and section
name. If a line has more than 132 characters, VHS keeps only the first 132 characters
and discards the rest of the line. For each error found in the VHS Inspect file, an EMS
event is generated.
VHS Inspect File Limitations
In the VHS Inspect file, you can have up to 100 sections and a maximum of 5000 bytes
loaded in memory. If the Inspect file contains more than 100 sections and/or more than
5000 bytes, VHS stops loading when one of these two limits is reached, and an EMS
event is generated specifying that the loading was stopped.
Modification of the VHS Inspect File
VHS loads the VHS Inspect file when it starts. The VHS Inspect file can also be
modified any time while VHS is running. When that happens, VHS reloads the file only
when a new application traps into Inspect/eInspect. At this point, VHS stops sending
commands to Inspect/eInspect from the previous VHS Inspect file sections, doing this
for all currently existing Inspect/eInspect openers and subsequently for all applications
that are handled by those Inspect/eInspect openers at the time of the reload. For each
application that was previously in Inspect/eInspect, VHS generates an EMS event
(ZVHS-EVT-INSP-PROCESSING-STOP) saying that the Inspect/eInspect processing
