| 509.1 | Try this | TENERE::LAVILLAT | | Tue Dec 04 1990 03:24 | 9 |
| This is the correct syntax :
EVENT Cart Name Low = 48 :
COUNTED AS = (Cart Name Lows),
END EVENT Cart Name Low;

| 509.2 | Thanks, worked like a champ | COOKIE::KITTELL | Richard - Architected Info Mgmt | Tue Dec 04 1990 11:24 | 0 |
| 509.3 | Bug! Kill it before it spreads! | CAPN::SYLOR | Architect = Buzzword Generator | Tue Dec 04 1990 22:16 | 10 |
| Is there any rational at all for why you changed the syntax from that
in the NCL MSLs?
This is yet another inconsistency that will have to be fixed in the
next version of MCC. Surely it would be easier to prevent these
bugs from spreading into thousands of lines of MSL that will
simply have to be changed by hundreds of AM developers.
Fix this bug now before it spreads!

| 509.4 | events with no text will not be displayable by FCL V1.1 | TOOK::DITMARS | Pete | Thu Dec 06 1990 11:31 | 11 |
| The GETEVENT processing in FCL requires that a text definition be
present for any event defined in the dictionary. This restriction will be
documented in the V1.1 release notes.
So, if you're going to be doing GETEVENTs (or NOTIFYs) on those events, give
it some text:
EVENT Cart Name Low = 48 :
TEXT = "Cart Name Low",
COUNTED AS = (Cart Name Lows),
END EVENT Cart Name Low;

| 509.5 | meet the rest of us halfway | NAC::ENGLAND | | Thu Dec 06 1990 19:51 | 12 |
| re .3: I second that emotion. I coded to MCC SRM T1.0.0, the previous
replies suggest that MCC's compiler will no longer compile MSLs from
the NCL registry. Is this an accurate problem statement? Was this
NECESSARY? Gratuitous changes to MSL cost the company money. There are
at least 4 MSL compilers and 2.5 registries now. Lack of backwards
compatibility was not justified here. We should be working towards
decreasing the # of compilers, not increasing them.
I heard a rumor that someone was fixing the MSL compiler to compile
both NCL and MCC MSLs, so DECnet-VAX and the OSIrouter folks could
use MCC's compiler. This would be a big help in the short-term.

| 509.6 | Digital Does the Standards Thing | TOOK::GUERTIN | I have an in_e, you have an out_e | Fri Dec 07 1990 09:00 | 6 |
| I don't want this to turn into a flame-throwing contest. We all want
to "do the right thing". Certainly one multiplatform MSL translator
always compiled from the same source code will go a long way to
ensuring consistency and a "real" standard MS language.

| 509.7 | Here there is a standard, implement it | CAPN::SYLOR | Architect = Buzzword Generator | Tue Dec 11 1990 09:48 | 16 |
| Re .4:
It appears that the original meaning of the "text" and "Name" properties
of an event/response/exception are in danger of being lost.
The name of the event is its name and what you shall display when displaying
an event report in any form. The event's name is followed by a list of
arguments, each argument being an <argument name> = <value> display.
The text for a name is an expansion/convienience, it allows the above display
to be **augmented** by additional narative text. It shall not be construed as
a replacement to the above display. Your PM might allow a user to
chose whether the narative or the standard display is shown in a window or
on a screen, but you must allow the standard display to be shown.
