42.0. "MSL PROBLEM" by TENERE::DUNON (Paul Dunon - Telecom Engineering - VBO) Thu Jan 25 1990 08:16

It seems that the MSL does not support a multi-word keyword value in the
IDENTIFIER definition of an entity definition.

Example:

	SUBORDINATE ENTITY xyz = 1 :
	   SUPERIOR = ( zyx ),
	   IDENTIFIER = ( the name ),
	   ...

	   IDENTIFIER ATTRIBUTES

		ATTRIBUTE the name = 1 : SimpleName
		...


The MSL message is:

	ERROR: Identifier the namefor Class xyz,
	was never defined as an IDENTIFIER ATTRIBUTE.
	Scan of MS file has completed with errors, check error file.


If I replace "the name" with "the_name", it works.


Is it a known problem or do I miss something in the SRM ?

42.1	This will be qared	GOSTE::CALLANDER		`Sun Jan 28 1990 13:53`	5
	We have not come across this in our development, since we do not have multi keyword identifier attributes. I will add this as a qar against the MSL translator. sorry for the inconvenience.
42.2	problem in .COM generated by MSL	TENERE::DUNON	Paul Dunon - Telecom Engineering - VBO	`Mon Jan 29 1990 09:51`	21
	When I run the DAP and try to populate the dictionnary with the .COM file produced by the MSL, I get the following message: %MCC-E-NOPARENT, Parent entity doesn't exist %DAP-I-LINENUMB, At or near line number 970. %DAP-I-CMD_LINE, Command: CREATE CLASS UAL SUBCLASS DESTINATION CODE 2 %MCC-E-NOPARENT, Parent entity doesn't exist It seems that the global entity class is missing in the DAP command. If I type the same command with the global class name in, it works: DAP>CREATE CLASS SMS SUBCLASS UAL SUBCLASS DESTINATION CODE 2 Am I missing something in my MSL source code ? The problem is the same for all the second-level subordinate entity classes. A similar problem exists with the USE CLASS command. Thanks for your help, -- Paul
42.3	Is your SUPERIOR statement correct?	SCRPIO::LIZBICKI		`Mon Jan 29 1990 17:04`	15
	It looks to me like you are trying to define the following: SMS \| UAL \| DESTINATION In your MSL, the "SUPERIOR" line for each entity must include a list of all superior entities. So the superior line for your DESTINATION entity would be as follows: SUPERIOR = (SMS, UAL)
42.4	OK thank you	TENERE::DUNON	Paul Dunon - Telecom Engineering - VBO	`Tue Jan 30 1990 05:06`	5
	OK, you're right ... and it's clearly explained in the SRM ! -- Paul
42.5	Another MSL translator query	MARVIN::GUMB	Murphy's Laws always work	`Mon Feb 12 1990 19:00`	42
	Dear Mod, Please put this note in it's rightful place if there is a specific slot for msl translator queries... Here's my query: I have an MSL wich contains the following definition: TYPE CircuitType = 5 ( 802.3 = 0, DDCMP = 1, HDLC = 2, X.25 Static Incoming = 3, X.25 Static Outgoing = 4, X.25 DA = 5, X.25 Permanent = 6 ); This produces the following in the .com file : SET DEFINITION CODE 23 - TYPE T - COUNT 1 - LENGTH 150 - DEFINED TRUE - USAGE TLV - VALUE - ( - 0 = "802.3", - 1 = "DDCMP", - 2 = "HDLC", - 3 = "X . 25 Static Incoming", - 4 = "X . 25 Static Outgoing", - 5 = "X . 25 DA", - 6 = "X . 25 Permanent" - ) ! ! MCC$K_DT_ENUMERATION Are the spaces for the X.25 definitions supposed to be there ? John Gumb
42.6	periods in enumerations fixed.	TOOK::L_GROSSMAN		`Tue Feb 13 1990 08:54`	5
	The problem with periods in enumerations stated in the previous reply has been fixed in base level X0.09.2. No spaces should be added around the period. This will also be included in external field test.
