 ABSTRACT:
  READ REVERSE FROM TAPE CAUSES DATA TO FILL BUFFER IMPROPERLY.
  REVERSE READ FROM A FILE IS OK.

 DISPOSITION:
  READ REVERSE DOES NOT WORK THE SAME WAY FOR MANAGED &
  UNMANAGED DEVICES. READ REVERSE ON UNMANAGED DEVICES FILLS
  THE BUFFER FROM THE END BACKWARDS. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT THE
  MAX SIZE FOR READS OR WRITE IS 32,767 BYTES. 40,000 IS TOO LARGE AND
  WILL BE TRUNCATED.

 ABSTRACT:
  TWO FORTRAN SUBROUTINES HAVE SAME NAME BUT DIFFERENT LOGIC.
  ONE IS GIVEN TO LYNX AS EF (ALONG WITH MAIN), THE OTHER IS IN
  SPECIFIED LIBRARY. WHEN BREF IS SPECIFIED CAUSES THE
  LIBRARY-RESIDENT VERSION TO BE USED RATHER THAN THE EF. MANUALS
  DON'T SEEM TO SAY WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN, BUT SEEMS LOGICAL TO
  EXPECT EXPLICITY-SPECIFIED EF TO TAKE PRECEDENCE.

 DISPOSITION:
  FOR.  YOU SHOULD !INCL THE LIBRARY ROUTINE IN THE SAME SEGMENT
  THAT THE EF IS TO BE USED.

 ABSTRACT:
  FSAVE REPORTED FIVE FILES SKIPPED, WHEN IN REALITY THEY WERE
  TRUNCATED.  THEY WERE THEN PARTIALLY RESTORED ON THE FRES WITH NO
  WARNING OF THEIR CONDITION, OR BETTER STILL THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE
  BEEN RESTORED AT ALL, OR SAVED AT ALL.

 DISPOSITION:
  THE 'FILES SKIPPED' MESSAGE IS PROVIDED TO INDICATE THAT SOMETHING
  ABNORMAL HAPPENED IN THE FSAVE RUN AND IT IS UP TO YOU TO INVESTIGAT
  WHAT HAPPENED AND TAKE ANY FURTHER ACTION TO INSURE FILE
  INTEGRETY.

 ABSTRACT:
  RE-SIDR OF 28833: ERR:FILE LOOPS TRYING TO WRITE DUPLICATE KEYS
  WHENEVER MORE THAN 255 ERROR EVENTS OCCUR DURING ONE MINUTE.
  BEST FIX WOULD BE TO EXPAND THE KEY TO NINE BYTES, THUS ALLOWING
  65535 EVENTS PER MINUTE, BUT THE GENMD PATCHES ON THE BACK OF THIS
  FORM SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
  THESE PATCHES/UPDATES ARE PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY.
  THEY HAVE NOT BEEN VERIFIED BY HONEYWELL AND, THEREFORE, EXTREME
  CARE COULD BE TAKEN IN DEALING WITH THEM.

 DISPOSITION:
  SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENT (INCREASE TO 9 BYTES) WILL NOT BE
  IMPLEMENTED IT IS OUR OPINION THAT IF A SYSTEM GENERATES
  MORE THAN 255 ERRORS IN ONE MINUTE; THERE IS A SERIOUS
  PROBLEM THAT  SHOULD BE CORRECTED ELSEWHERE, AND THE SYSTEM
  OVERHEAD TO HANDLE 65535 ERRORS PER MINUTE IS EXCESSIVE.
  THE GENMPS YOU SUBMITTED SOLVE THE DUPLICATE KEY PROBLEM.

 ABSTRACT:
  M:CAL DOESN'T WORK AS DOCUMENTED:
  1.  SYSTEM BPM DOESN'T SET MS BIT IN PSD WHEN USER SPECIFIES
  NEITHER MM OR MP.
  2.  MASTER MODE WITHOUT CO PRIV SETS CC1, NOT CC2.
  3.  NO CHECK IS MADE FOR AN INVALID ADDRESS, AS STATED IN MANUAL.
  4.  BATCH MANUAL (P. 90) SHOWS PARAMETER 'TI'.  IT SHOULD BE 'II'.

 DISPOSITION:
  DOCUMENTATION IS IN ERROR.  (SEE ADDITIONAL SHEET)
  ADD TO THE LAST PARAGRAPH ON P. 90, COL 1:

  IF THE TARGET ADDRESS IN THE NEW PSD IS LESS THAN X'10'
  THE CAL IS CONSIDERED A RESET REQUEST, CAUSING THE
  HANDLER ADDRESS TO REVERT TO THE DEFAULT, CAL3PSD.
  ISSUING AN M:LINK OR M:LDTRC WILL ALSO RESTORE CAL3PSD.

  REPLACE THE DESCRIPTION OF M:CAL ON P. 90, COL 2 WITH:

  THE M:CAL PROCEDURE HAS THE FORM

      M:CAL     (IA,ADDR),PB ...

  WHERE

           A VALUE FROM 0-15, CAUSING THE CAL TO
           RESET THE POINTER TO THE PSD IN THE JIT,
           (J:ALB) TO THE DEFAULT,CAL3PSD.

      PB   SPECIFIES VARIOUS PSD BITS.  THE OPTIONS ARE:

      (CC,N)    SETS CONDITION CODE TO N(DECIMAL)
      INH       SETS ALL INTERRUPT INHIBIT BITS
      CI        SETS COUNTER INTERRUPT GROUP INHIBIT

  WHERE    N    IS 1 IF MP IS SPECIFIED, 0 OTHERWISE

  UPON ISSUING THE CAL1, THE FOLLOWING CC BITS ARE
  RETURNED TO THE USER:

      CC1    SET - PRIVILEDGE LEVEL NOT SUFFICIENT,

      CC2      SET - SLAVE MODE SPECIFIED, USER
                     CANNOT SPECIFY INHIBIT BITS.

 ABSTRACT:
  IRBT FAILS TO LOG ON TO CP-V USING HASP PROTOCOL.  IRBT IS
  EFFECTIVELY SENDING SOH SYN SYN SYN ENQ (X' 013232322D)
  TO THE 7605 DSC.  ACCORDING TO THE IBM REFERENCE MANUAL
  #GA27-3004 ON PAGE 12, THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR BSC STATE THAT A
  SYNCHRONIZATION CHARACTER (I.E., A SYN OR X '32') CAN BE SENT AT
  ANY TIME AS A FILL CHARACTER.  HAS PIO IS LOOKING FOR ONLY 2
  BYTES (X' 012D').  MOTOROLA FEELS THAT THIS IS A DEFINATE CP-V
  ERROR SINCE YOU ARE NOT MEETING THE IBM BSC SPEC. THE ABOVE
  DATA WAS GATHERED USING A LINE ANALYZER.

 DISPOSITION:
  THE PROBLEM THAT CP-V HAS WITH EXTRA 'SYNC'S IN A MESSAGE IS
  BASICALLY DUE TO THE 7605, WHICH DOES NOT STRIP 'SYNC'S EXCEPT
  AT THE BEGINNING OF A TRANSMISSION.  IN ORDER FOR HASP TO
  HANDLE THESE THINGS CORRECTLY, A MAJOR REWRITE WOULD BE
  NECESSARY.  IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT CP-6 HANDLES THIS
  SITUATION PROPERLY.

 ABSTRACT:
  AN MPC TAPE DRIVE WITH KEYIN PENDING BECAUSE OF "WRITE PROTECTED"
  EVENTUALLY GET PARKED IN ONE OF THE SC STATES. ESC-ETB DUMP
  ATTACHED.

 DISPOSITION:
  SYSTEM ACTING AS DESIGNED.  IT IS EFFECTIVELY HUNG-UP BECAUSE
  THE HIGHEST PRIORITY USER FOR INSWAP IS TOO BIG AS LONG AS USERS
  IN SIOW DUE TO HUNG-UP MPC TAPE ARE IN CORE.

 ABSTRACT:
  IF THE PCL COMMAND "SPE" IS ENTERED WHILE TP IS UP, THE TP SYSTEM
  STOPS UNTIL THE SPE COMMAND IS COMPLETE.  TIC AND TPLMS ARE HUNG IN
  A WRITE TO THE COMMON JOURNAL.  AFTER THE SPE COMMAND COMPLETES,IO
  TO THE JOURNAL COMPLETES AND TP PROCESSING CONTINUES.  THIS
  IS A BAD PROBLEM AS IT GIVES TP USERS ERRATIC, VERY POOR RESPONSE
  TIME.

 DISPOSITION:
  CONTROLLER IS TIED UP WITH SPE, CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE IT
  WILL HELP TO RAISE TPG'S EXEC. PRIORITY OR LOWER THE
  ONLINE PRIORITY.

 ABSTRACT:
  IF FSAVE IS RE-ASSEMBLED FOR NON-FIL COMPATIBLE TAPES, FSAVE
  ABORTS WHEN THE SECOND REEL OF TAPE IS ASKED FOR. PROBLEM IS THAT
  ACNBUF OVERWRITES "DSTACK". FIX IS TO INSERT A "RES 8" AT LINE
  6745.1

 DISPOSITION:
  RE-ASSEMBLY OF FSAVE WITH OPTIONS OTHER THAN AS RELEASED IN
  F00 IS NOT SUPPORTED.

 ABSTRACT:
  SYSTEM HANGS WHEN RAD SWAP GRANULES GETS LOW THIS PROBLEM APPEARS
  TO BE LIKE SIDR 32228.

 DISPOSITION:
  THIS PROBLEM RESULTS FROM INCORRECT VALUE FOR M:FREE#GRAN ON
  SECOND AND SUCCEEDING SWAPPERS. THIS CAUSED INACCURATE
  CALCULATION OF AVAILABLE SWAP SPACE DURING SHARED PROCESSOR
  INITIALIZATION AND THUS UNEXPECTED SWAPPING TO OCCUR
  RESULTING  IN INCORRECT DATA INITIALIZATION FOR SHARED
  PROCESSORS, TYPICALLY LOGON. PATCHES ARE AVAILABLE
  FOR PASS2 (UBCHAN) FOR BOTH F00 AND E01. SOURCE CORRECTIONS
  ARE IN :SIDRSI ACCOUNT. THUS INSTALLATION OF FIX REQUIRES
  RE-SYSGEN. THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS THAT DESCRIBED IN

 ABSTRACT:
  ERR:FIL SEEMS TO TAKE MUCH TOO LONG TO PROCESS A DELUGE OF
  ERRORS FROM A SICK DEVICE. IN THIS INSTANCE, IT TOOK ALMOST
  TWENTY-FOUR HOURS TO COMPLETE LOGGING THE ERRORS THAT
  OCCURRED OVER A SEVENTEEN MINUTE PERIOD FROM AN MPC TAPE DRIVE.

 DISPOSITION:
  CP-V IS BEHAVING AS IT WAS DESIGNED. THE TAPE DRIVE
  SHOULD BE FIXED.

 ABSTRACT:
  AN AUTOMATIC HGP FOLLOWING A SC 89-10 HAS A TIMEOUT ON THE

  NOT A GOOD GENERAL SOLUTION AS PRINTER MAY NOT BE TURNED ON. THIS
  WOULD DESTROY UNATTENDED MODE OPERATION. IF ATTENDED, IT  MAY
  BE INTERRUPTED AND THE QUESTION WILL BE REPEATED.

 ABSTRACT:
  UNABLE TO CREATE 800 BPI 'FT' TAPE USING PCL; MULTCPY
  FAILS ALSO. COPY IS FROM 1600 BPI (MULTIFILE TAPE-FT) TO 800
  BPI(MULTIFILE FT) LISTING INDICATES PROPER # OF RECORDS FROM
  SOURCE TAPE BUT SUBSEQUENT COPY OF OUTPUT TAPE TO DISC SHOWS
  RECORDS LOST (SEE ATTACHED LISTING) PROBLEM OCCURS
  ON SIG 7 AND DUAL 560. ALL DEVICES (TAPE) ARE MPC DRIVES.
  NOT RECORD COUNTS DO NOT MATCH ON PCL COPY TO TAPE AND
  COPY TAPE TO DISC.

 DISPOSITION:


  THE TAPE FILE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PADS SHORT SECONDS FOR ANS TAPES;
  IT DOES NOT PAD FREE FORM TAPES AS THAT IS A USER PROBLEM.
  RECORDS SHOULD NOT BE WRITTEN WITH LESS THAN 18 BYTES. YOUR
  DOCUMENTATION INDICATES LOST RECORDS OF 1 BYTE RECORDS.

 ABSTRACT:
  WHILE READING A TAPE DATA BLOCK WHICH EXTENDS OVER AND BEYOND THE EO
  EOT MARKER, THEEND-OF-TAPE CODE IS NOT REPORTED TO THE USER. THE
  THE SYSTEM HAS POTTER DRIVES AND DID WORK ON D00.

 DISPOSITION:

  DOCUMENTATION INCORRECTLY STATES THAT EOT WILL BE REPORTED ON A
  READ. 73XX HARDWARE DOES NOT CATEGORIZE EOT ON READ AS AN UNUSUAL
  END CONDITION GO THE HANDLER DOES NOTHING SPECIAL.
  SINCE HANDLERS WERE SUBSTANTIALLY REVAMPED SINCE D00, HANDLER
  ACTIONS MAY BE DIFFERENT IN SOME CASES FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS.

 ABSTRACT:
  EDIT RETURNS IMMEDIATELY IF M:LINK'ED TO IN THE
  ONLINE MODE. THE CODE IN LINES 7801-7803 FAIL TO TAKE INTO
  ACCOUNT THAT EDIT USES MU:UC FOR ITS COMMAND DCB IN THE ONLINE
  MODE EVEN WHEN LINKED TO. (LINES 7801-7803 APPEAR TO BE UNECESSARY
  BECAUSE OF LINES 760-768.)
  THIS PROBLEM WOULD ALSO EXIST IF EDIT WAS M:LINKED TO IN THE GHOST
  MODE. SUGGESTED AND TESTED PATCH ATTACHED.

 DISPOSITION:
  EDIT IS NOT INTENDED TO ENTER AN INTERACTIVE MODE WHEN M;LONK'ED
  TO. THE TEST YOU REFER TO '7501-7803) CAUSES EDIT TO RETURN WHEN
  THE XEQ FILE RUNS OUT. M;LINK TO EDIT SHOULD PASS A COMMAND
  LIKE 'EDIT XEQ FILE'.

 DISPOSITION:
  IT IS NOT INTENDED THAT THE FIRMWARE BE LOADABLE UNLESS IT IS
  IN TROUBLE. THUS IF, R DOESN'T WORK TRY, F. WE WERE UNABLE
  TO TELL FROM YOUR DOCUMENTATION WHY IT SHOULD BE RELOADED.
  RELOADING WHILE OTHER DRIVES ARE ACTIVE WOULD BE A DISASTER.

 ABSTRACT:
  EDIT WILL NOT HANDLE A COPY OF FILE OVER ITSELF WITH MORE
  THAN 10,000 RECORDS. IT DOES NOT ABORT, BUT IT ONLY LEAVES
  9999 RECORDS IN THE FILE SEE EXAMPLE.

 DISPOSITION:
  EDIT DEALS ONLY WITH THAT PORTION OF A KEYED FILE WHICH
  IS BETWEEN KEY X'000000' AND KEY X'989680' (EDIT
  KEY 10000.000). IT COULD NOT SEE THE OTHER RECORDS OF
  YOUR INPUT FILE, WHICH OTHERWISE LOOKED LIKE AN EDIT
  FILE.
**EDITOR'S NOTE: YOU CAN GET MORE THAN 10,000 RECORDS IN AN EDIT
  FILE IF YOU INCREMENT EACH BY LESS THAN 1.000.

 ABSTRACT:
  !LIST ON fid, FOLLOWED BY !L(EA) ABORTS WITH 1401 IF fid IS
  THE FIRST FILENAME (BASED ON COLLATING SEQUENCE) IN THE USER'S
  ACCT. E00/E01 PCL IGNORED THE FILE (IN THE RESULTANT LIST
  OUTPUT). F00 PCL LISTS THE FILE AS *INACCESSIBLE* 1401 IF
  IT'S NOT THE FIRST.

 DISPOSITION:
  THIS IS AN F00 IMPROVEMENT TO ALLOW YOU TO DELETE THE FILE
  TO WHICH LO IS ASSIGNED: THE LO FILE IS OPEN UPDATE, THEREFORE, IS
  BUSY.

 ABSTRACT:
  UNDER CP-V E01, A USER DATA BASE WHICH REQUIRED MORE THAN 1
  PRTY PACK SPINDLE (MULTI-SPINDLE FILE) & IS A RANDOM FILE,
  COULD BE CREATED, SAVED, RESTORED TO EXISTING PACK SET
  OR RESTORED TO A NEWLY VOLINITED PACK SET WITH NO PROBLEMS.
  HOWEVER, UNDER CP-V FOO, THE FILE CANNOT BE CREATED OR RESTORED
  UNTO A PACK SET UNLESS THE PACK SET IT IS BEING RESTORED
  ONTO IS THE EXISTING SET. GET ERROR CODE OF 20-05.

 DISPOSITION:
  SEC BP REF MANUAL PAGE 186 FOR DEFINITION OF 20-05. YOU SOMEHOW
  USED THE SECONDARY PACK AS A PRIMARY BEFORE TRYING TO RESTORE
  ONTO IT; NOTE EVEN A LIST OF A SECONDARY WILL CAUSE IT TO BE
  A PRIMARY.
*EDITOR'S NOTE: THE ABOVE SHOULD READ 'TS REF MANUAL'.

 ABSTRACT:
  WITHOUT WARNING, FSAVE WAS MODIFIED TO ELIMINATE WRITING EOF TAPE
  SENTINELS.  THIS CAUSES TWO PROBLEMS: 1) THIS SENTINEL CONTAINED
  PREVIOUS BLOCK SIZE, WHICH WE USE FOR OUR CHARGING PROCESSES.
  2) IT TURNS OUT TO BE MUCH HARDER TO KEEP OUR TAPE DRIVES
  TWEAKED UP.  PREVIOUSLY WE MISS AN EOF NOW AND THEN AND CATCH
  IT ON THE FOLLOWING BOF.  WE REQUEST THAT EOF WRITING BE PUT BACK
  INTO FSAVE.  IN THE FUTURE, PLEASE WARN US OF SUCH CHANGES.

 DISPOSITION:
  WE JUDGED THAT IMPROVED EFFICIENCY IN THE AMOUNT OF TAPE USED
  BY FSAVE WOULD  BE APPRECIATED BY THE MAJORITY OF OUR CUSTOMERS.
  WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY SYSTEM OR SYSTEM SUPPORTED PROCESSOR
  PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE REMOVAL OF THE FSAVE :EOF SENTINEL.
  THEREFORE, WE DO NOT PLAN TO PUT IT BACK IN.

 ABSTRACT:
  DELTA--AFTER SETTING A DATA BREAK POINT, AN ATTEMPT TO EXECUTE AN
  INSTRUCTION WITH AN  ")" WILL CAUSE A NON-EXISTANT INSTRUCTION TRAP
  IF THAT INSTRUCTION TRIES TO STORE INTO THE BREAK POINT CELL.
  THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOT GOOD IF THE USER IS IN MASTER MODE.

 DISPOSITION:
  THAT'S THE WAY DELTA WORKS. IT USES TRAP CAUSING INSTRUCTIONS
  FOR BOTH DATA BREAK POINTS AND STEP CONTROL, THEREFORE, THE
  TWO DO NOT WORK TOGETHER. YOUR ENCLOSED DOCUMENTATION INDICATED
  THE USE OF BOTH AND NO INDICATION THAT MASTER MODE WAS AT ALL
  INVOLVED.

 ABSTRACT:
  REGRESSION ERROR. TCOPY AND PROBABLY MANY OTHER PROGRAMS EXPECT
  SYSTEM TO REWIND TAPES (DEVICE TAPES) WHEN FIRST USED AT
  BEGINNING OF JOB TO INSURE TAPES ARE AT LOAD POINT. SYSTEM
  REWOUND TAPES IN CPV-DOO BUT DOES NOT REWIND IN CPV-E01.

 DISPOSITION:
  MANY CONFLICTING REQUESTS RESULTED IN THE FINAL IMPLEMENTATION.
  IN UNPROTECTED SYSTEMS, THE TAPE WILL NOT BE REWOUND BY THE
  SYSTEM. THE USER PROGRAMS MAY PUT IN A REW IF THEY NEED IT,
  HOWEVER, SOME PROGRAMS NEED TO MOUNT THE TAPE AT ITS CURRENT
  POSITION WITHOUT THE REWIND. ANY LEVEL OF "PROTECTED SYSTEM" WILL
  CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO REWIND THE TAPE.
