12.0. "IET11 and Alpha VMS driver" by AMER::POLVERINI () Wed Apr 27 1994 17:27
Hi there,
could someone help ?
AREROSPATIALE customer, just ported a "graphical application" from
a VAX 750 to ALPHA 3000-800 under OpenVms.
That application was using on the VAX 750 a IEX11 board with
the IEX VMS driver version V4.0-14. (this was driving a
photographic display..)
On the Alpha plateforme we are using a IET11 (TC-488) Board
with the EQUIcon driver.
After recompiling/relinking the source code on the Alpha machine
we ran it.
All seems to start well (the data seems to be transfered from the
VAX to the photographic equipement),
but at some point we had an error message :
" %SYSTEM-F-BADPARAM, bad parameter value "
The code generating that message is at the end of that mail.
Has anyone an idea ?
Thanks for help,
Rgds Joseph Polverini.

| 12.1 | Check buffer format and size requirements | MNATUR::LISTON | CSP-PSC/E - When you need to deliver the very best! | Thu Apr 28 1994 17:36 | 18 |

Joseph,
Unless I am mistaken, the IET11 driver, like the IEZ11 it was
formulated after, requires a different format for the serial poll
buffers. The IEZ11 driver requires buffers to contain pairs of
primary and secondary addresses, whereas the IEX-VMS-Driver did not.
All unused secondary addresses must be filled in with a -1.
In your code example you have specified a buffer size of 1 for
SPOBUF and no buffer size at all for RESBUF. I believe the smallest
buffer size must be 2.
Hopefully someone from the Munich PSC will confirm this or
correct me if I am wrong.
