6016.0. "%%MCC-E-PM_DSCALEERR, graphical scaling error" by KERNEL::EVANSN () Fri Jun 10 1994 07:00

After a recent upgrade of BMS from 1.1 to 1.3 on Ultrix 4.4, and tring to create 
a domain in FCL the following message appears.

%MCC-E-PM_DSCALEERR, software error: graphical scaling error

Any ideas on this one. The customer runs Temip with MCC and all was perfectly 
ok with V1.1

6016.1this is an IMPM error !TAEC::FLAUWMarc Flauw, CEM Technical Office, VBOMon Jun 13 1994 06:1216
Neal,

The error %MCC-E-PM_DSCALEERR can only be generated by the Iconic Map PM and not 
by the FCL PM. 

If your base note is correct and you are getting this message at the FCL PM, it
is likely to come from a problem with the plib file. 

One way to check it is to rename the plib file(/usr/mcc/mcc_system/msg806.plib).
Then redo the test and look at the error code displayed in hexa. check the value
against the mcc_msg.h file to see if it corresponds to DSCALERR or to another
error.  

Best regards,

Marc.

Marc,

Thanks for the reply.

Maybe I'm being a bit thick, bit where is the mcc_msg.h file, I've done a 
find / -name mcc_msg.h -print, but can't find it.

I will, however, ask the the customer to rename the .plib file and give me the
hex code.

Regards

Neal,

The file mcc_msg.h can be found in /usr/mcc/mmtoolkit/include

It should also be present in /usr/include as a link.

Best regards,

Marc,

I found the file after I installed the developer's toolkit !!!

I have done as you asked and the customer received %x0326DE12.

This is defined in mcc_msg.h as:

#define MCC_S_PM_DSCALEERR 52878866

I have asked him to enter invalid verbs and mis-spelled entities and they 
correspond to the expected error messages.

I have done a "$exit %x0326DE12" with MCCMSG.EXE set in VMS and that produces

%MCC-E-PM_DSCALEERR, Software error: graphical scaling error

I must admit that it does seem to be a strange error to be associated with a
command carried out in the FCL.

Could this be something to do with the way he has upgraded the system ?

Regards

Neal
