52.0. "KAV$CHECK_BATTERY returns bad parameter count" by ZYDECO::BODA (Realtime Products Support) Fri Apr 03 1992 05:18

Hi Graham,

I decided to keep these separate and open another topic.

Confirmed that KAV$CHECK_BATTERY returns:
          
              %KERNEL-F-BAD_COUNT, bad parameter count

The customer claims the FORTRAN example in the book gives the same error.
Again, I'm using KAV V1.1, VAXELN V4.3.

Any thoughts?  

Thanks,

Alan

Here's my C code fragment:


main()
{
.
.
.
    int battery_status;


/*
**  Check current battery status
*/
    kav$check_battery( &battery_status );
    printf( "\nBattery Status: " );
    display_status( battery_status );
.
.
.
}

void display_status(status)
long status;
{
    VARYING_STRING(255) stat_str;

    eln$get_status_text (status, 0, &stat_str);
    printf ("%.*s\n", stat_str.count, stat_str.data );
}

    Hi Alan,
    
    Thanks for reporting this and for providing the example program.  I
    have tracked down this problem, it will be fixed in the next
    release.
