262.0. "Constructed Types Not Supported in Iconic PM Yet?" by COOKIE::KITTELL (Richard - Architected Info Mgmt) Fri Aug 17 1990 01:51

I've got a couple of attributes that are DT_SET_OF, and I can't show or
set them from the X1.1.0 DECwindows interface. All the rest are working
just fine, neat stuff, folks.

If this is news, I'll get you details. Otherwise I'll just be patient.

262.2Set of what...VERNA::V_GILBERTMon Aug 20 1990 10:077
The DT_SET_OF attributes that you can neither set nor show.. what are they a
set of, ie set of unsigned32, set of enumeration.  

What do you see when you try these?

Thanks,
Verna

re: .2

	Verna,

        I checked-out each characteristic individually. It looks like
        there are three problems, flagged below. The attribute called
        "Containers" is a SET OF Latin1String. From FCL it looks like:

                             Containers = { "DISK$AIM1",
                                            "DISK$AIM2",
                                            "DISK$AIM3" }

        With the iconic PM, the Show management window lists the
        values just fine.

        The Add management window adds a value, and the Remove
        management window removes a value.

---> 1. None of the Show Current or Show Values operations work from
        the Add or Remove windows. No error, but the attribute value isn't
        displayed.

---> 2. With both the Add and Remove windows, I haven't figured how to
        express more than one element. With FCL I'd use

                containers = {mumble,fratz}

        but the iconic PM gives a validation error. I've tried

            mumble,fratz
            {mumble,fratz}
            (mumble,fratz)
            {"mumble","fratz"} all give the validation error.
        
====

        The other attribute is a SET OF AnImplementation, defined as:

    TYPE AComponentName = 20  (VMS     = 21,
                               DECmcc  = 22,
                               DHSM_AM = 23,
                               PBD = 24);
    TYPE AComponent = 30 RECORD
    Name    = 31 : AComponentName;
    Version = 32 : Latin1String;
    END;
    TYPE AnImplementation = 40 SET OF AComponent;

        From FCL it looks like this:

                Implementation = { (            Name = VMS,
                                             Version = "V5.4-4G1" ),
                                   (            Name = DECmcc,
                                             Version = "T1.0.1" ),
                                   (            Name = DHSM_AM,
                                             Version = "X1.0.0" ),
                                   (            Name = PBD,
                                             Version = "X1.0.0" ) }

---> 3. With the iconic PM the Show management window gives
        "Management Window Message: Invalid Parameter Passed" whenever
        that attribute is included in the ILV of the show directive,
        which looks like:

        [  5 ] (
            [  1 ]             34  -- 4
            [  3 ]             00
            [  4 ] (
                [  1 ] (
                    [  31 ]                     15
                    [  32 ]                     56 35 2e 34 2d 34 47 31  -- 
                    V5.4-4G1
                    )
                [  1 ] (
                    [  31 ]                     16
                    [  32 ]                     54 31 2e 30 2e 31  --
                    T1.0.1
                    )
                [  1 ] (
                    [  31 ]                     17
                    [  32 ]                     58 31 2e 30 2e 30  --
                    X1.0.0
                    )
                [  1 ] (
                    [  31 ]                     18
                    [  32 ]                     58 31 2e 30 2e 30  --
                    X1.0.0
                    )
                )

Thanks for all the details.

1. Show Current Value(s), Show Value(s) For for constructor datatypes has
   not been implemented, so as you said, it does not fail, but it does not
   display anything.

2&3. I will do more checking to see why we are having troubles - thanks
     for the info.
