DOCUMENT:Q107121 27-FEB-2002 [sna] TITLE :Operator Information Area Indicators for 3270 PRODUCT :Microsoft SNA Server PROD/VER::2.0,2.1,2.11,2.11 SP1,3.0,4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbtool kbsna211sp1 sna4 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11, 2.11 SP1, 3.0, 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= The Operator Information Area (OIA)is used to display the status of a 3270 screen session. The OIA is the last (bottom) line displayed in the terminal window of the 3270 session. Except for the initial three positions (system connection indicators), status line indicators only appear when they apply. The following tables describe the OIA and explain each indicator. In the table, position refers to the column(s) that a specific indicator occupies on the OIA, where the left-most column of the OIA is position 1. In addition, the "female" symbol used for certain system connection and input inhibited indicators cannot be displayed in this table. In its place is the "^" symbol. OIA INDICATOR (POSITION) ------------------------ Symbol Meaning -------------------------------------------------------------------------- System Connection (position 1): Does not apply to the 3270 Applet. System Connection (position 2): B Connection uses an SNA protocol. A Connection uses a non-SNA protocol. System Connection (position 3): b Connected to a host application (LU-LU session). ^ Connected to host system services (SSCP-LU session). ? Session is established, but is not connected to any host program (unknown). Session ID (positions 4 - 7): aaaa First four characters of your configured long name session ID. Input Inhibited messages (keyboard locked) (positions 9 - 17): X COMMnnn Communications error. See Communications Status (positions 19 - 26). X MACHnnn Computer check error. X PROGnnn Program check error. See Communications Status (positions 19 - 26). X SYSTEM Keyboard input is being processed by the host. Wait for the message to clear or press RESET. X[] The host requires more time to process your request. Wait for the indicator to clear or press RESET. X -f Function is not supported. Press RESET, and select a valid function. X^> More data was typed than the field allows or can accept. Press RESET, and re-enter the data. X <-^-> Protected field; you cannot type data. Press RESET, and move the cursor to an unprotected field. X -f^X Function is not authorized. Press RESET, and select a valid function. X^+? Invalid accent/character combination typed. The accent is displayed in position 12. Press RESET, and type a valid combination. Communications Status (positions 19 - 26): COMM500 All the link services configured for use by the connection were inactive. COMM504 Communications are not established with the host. This message disappears as soon as communication is established with the host. If this message does not disappear, check to ensure proper settings of the host network address, local node ID, or local SAP. COMM505 The host terminated the connection used by your 3270 session. COMM510 The host has deactivated the communications link. Report the message to your system administrator. COMM518 A segment was out of sequence. Contact your system administrator. COMM695 A communications error occurred. COMM5nn The communications link is still being established; the keyboard is locked. Wait for the message to clear; also check Input Inhibited messages. PROG703 A session control, data flow control, or network control command is not supported. Press RESET, and try the operation again. PROG705 A sequence number error has occurred. Press RESET, and try the operation again. PROG706 A chaining error has occurred. Press RESET, and try the operation again. PROG707 A bracket state error has occurred. Press RESET, and try the operation again. PROG708 A data traffic reset state exists. Press RESET, and try the operation again. PROG717 The support level requested is not valid. Press RESET, and try the operation again. PROG723 The LU type requested is not valid. Press RESET, and try the operation again. PROG724 The screen size requested is not valid. Press RESET, and try the operation again. Screen Session LU Address (positions 79 - 80): nn The LU address of the currently displayed 3270 screen session. ERROR 83: The LU selected is not valid for the logged on user. There is a configuration problem if this appears, because the emulator only presents the user with LUs they are allowed to use. Verify the user can use this LU. ERROR 85: The primary reason for this error is the specific LU requested is already in use. ERROR 87: There are several possibilities for this error: - All the LUs in the Pool requested are in use and will not be available until someone logs off. - One or more servers or connections are inactive, and need to be started before all the LUs in the Pool are available.
