1969.0. "When U have a lot of PIXMAPs" by TMIS01::DORON (Doing my BEST !!!) Mon Dec 25 1989 09:05

Hi,
 a client of my complains that While copying a lot of PIXMAPs with DWT$COPY_AREA
he gets the following message ():

x- error: bad implimentation - server report implimentation error.
request major code 65 request minor code.
resource id 0x500340 error serial #9905 current serial #9909
xio! none translateable vms error code: 0x2dba002,
VMS MESSAGE %DECW-E-CNXABORT server connection aborted.ACHIM
%Xlib-F-IOERROR, xlib io error
               
 Is it a tuning problem or there is more to it?

			Thanks and Happy New Year.

That message is coming from a PolyLine request (major opcode 65) not from
CopyArea.  The most common reason for this message (on VMS) is that a
relative coordinate is specified which is greater than 32K.  There is a
restriction in the server:  unsigned numbers are sometimes treated as signed,
which causes big trouble for shorts which have the top bit set.

Usually having such a large number in a request is a bug, so we have not
been too concerned about fixing it, especially since fixing it might
incur a performance penalty in the common cases.

You might want to try making a call to XSynchronize in the code before you
get the the trouble area.  This will cause all messages to be reported concurrently
with the execution of the call that caused them.
