HP OpenVMS Systems

Third-party software? (Siemens)

» close window

The Question is:

 
We use an Alpha 2000 (OpenVMS 6.2) communicating with a Siemens programmable
 control (Simatic S5 155U) for many years.
 
The communication is done by routines using mailbox commands, code is wiritten
 in FORTRAN:
 
read mailbox :
SYS = IBS_MB_ASYR( RECEIVE_BOX,
                   ANZ_DW,
                   MBX_BUF,
     +             WARTEZEIT,
                   ERROR )
ENCODE(8,10000,MSG_ERR_CODE) SYS
 
Since some weeks, sometimes occure errors,
the error numer reported is:
Err code =  8018011 %X
What does that message point to, or where can I get the information, what is
 going wrong?
 
Thank You for Your help!

The Answer is :

 
  No clue, sorry.  That code is not a standard OpenVMS failure code,
  and would normally indicate success based solely on the low bits.
 
  You will need to enlist the assistance of the organization that is
  supporting the IBS_MB_ASYR call.
