575.0. "MULIT-LINE ACTION ACCVIOS WHEN FIRED BY A FILTER" by CX3PST::ANASAZ::J_BECKER (There's no substitute for a good boot) Tue Jan 24 1995 22:05

I have a site running 6.0 and has the latest mup installed.
When an event happens and filter processing determines the 
mulitline action should be run, it never appears on the 
designated screen.  Image accounting shows the CONSOLE$EVENTLIST
image exiting with an ACCVIO:

-------------------------------------------------------------

I can run the CONSOLE EVENT command by hand to the display
without problems and if I select the Event list window to
startup with the C3, it does.  Only when called by the filter
does it fail.  Below is the output of the export for the filter
and the debug data from CONSOLE_NOTIFY_OUTPUT.LOG file.

any ideas?

The problem was the MULTI-LINE action was passed several parameters including TIME,
EVENT, etc...  The fix was to only pass USERDATA.  I believe this ACTION should disable
setting these parameters or handle the data as it is passed and ignore anything but
USERDATA bytes.

John,

  As defined "out-of-the-box" only the userdata should be selected.

  How do you expect the evntlist program to know that someone has changed the 
  data it is being passed?

Cheers,
Phil
