21.0. "PROBLEM - Request ID not found in a IN_P argument." by KETJE::PACCO () Fri Oct 13 1989 14:57

First a case study of a correct ILV.
SHOW TIMER xxx all CHAR	...	gives SECONDS back in OUT_P argument
The dump is the following.
[   0 ] (
     )
[   105 ] (
     [   104 ] (
          [   2 ] (
               [   1 ]		26  --  &
               [   2 ]		00
               [   3 ]		00
               )
          )
     )
Everything seems O.K.
[ 105 ] = SERV_SHOW_SUCCESS	return code
[ 104 ] = SERV_SHOW_RESP 	attribute list argument
[ 2 ] = SECONDS			attribute

Now the problem case.
When I execute from the TRM presentation module the command :
	SET TIMER xxx SECONDS 100
In the TIMER access module the following ILV structure is found
for the IN_P argument:
[   0 ] (
     [   1 ] (
          [   2 ] (
               [   1 ]		26  --  &
               [   2 ]		64  --  d
               [   3 ]		00
               )
          )
     )


Question.
I wonder why the ILV Id's are [ 0 ] and [ 1 ].
I had expected [ 0 ] and [ 100 ]
	[ 0 ] beeing a non defined variable.
	[ 100 ] beeing SERV_SET_REQ

What is wrong, my mind or the data ?

I add here also an extract from the MSL.

    Yes, you're correct.  The code is supposed to be 100.  At the time
    of changeover to attribute lists, this must have slipped past us.
    We are currently always encoding the value of "1" for a SET argument, 
    since there is only 1 request argument allowed for SETs.
    
    The proper SET request argument code will be used in a future
    baselevel.
