HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard |
The Question is: A system information error message is showing up in a journal file from a users application. The message is: system-i-gblsec-mismatc. The default value for gblsections is 240 and we have our set at 600. Should we up this value and see if it takes care of the error message? It is only one particular application that is receiving the message. Thanks. The Answer is :
"system-i-gblsec-mismatc" is not a valid OpenVMS message.
When asking questions of the Wizard, please include the exact message
text displayed. Do not abbreviate or truncate the message -- error
message text can be similar, but the underlying problem(s) indicated
by these similarly-worded messages can be quite different.
The OpenVMS Wizard would not assume that a "mismatc" error would
be resolved by increasing the number of global sections permitted.
See HELP/MESSAGE as a starting point. Similar messages include:
GBLSEC_MISMATCH, global section type does not match service called
IDMISMATCH, ident mismatch with existing global section
SYSVERDIF, system version mismatch - please relink
SYSVERCHK, system version mismatch - function aborted
SHRIDMISMAT, ident mismatch with shareable image
TYPMISMCH, library type mismatch
EOFMISMATCH, end-of-file position mismatch for 'file-spec'
The OpenVMS Wizard will assume that the error is GBLSEC_MISMATCH, and
this would tend to point to an application programming error. You
will want to determine what application call is generating this error,
and if the specific operation and error handling is appropriate.
This may also be a case where the application is simply returning
a bogus status value as its exit status, and no actual error
condition exists.
Please contact the Compaq customer support center for assistance in
debugging this application, if necessary.
