3308.0. "inlogical_name_value error in server log file" by MUNICH::BENDER (two beer or not two beer...) Thu Sep 06 1990 05:26

Hi,

I have a customer who reported me an error that is always written in the
DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG file, when he quits the Decwindows session.
He has no problems in the sessions itself, but he's a little worried
about the errors.
I searched for info about this error but did not find any. Perhaps some-
body out there could give me a hint.
The error is  : 

inlogical_name_value, bad status 20 returned for logical decw$monitor_density

The version is 5.3 of VMS and the logical decw$monitor_density is set to 75.

Thanks,
    -Andreas

>in logical_name_value, bad status 20 returned for logical decw$monitor_density

Your customer may safely ignore this error.  Each time the server resets,
it attempts to translate the logical name DECW$MONITOR_DENSITY.  It succeeds
the first time, and fails everytime thereafter.  Since it gets the density
right the first time, it doesn't matter that it fails the following times,
as it just uses the original value obtained.  Don't ask me why the code
works this way.  It's obviously a bug, and I will try to fix it for
DECwindows V3.
