How to clear EREP using CPEREP and sometimes I wish for printed manual again

 

Hi,

I've been reading various manuals on the CPEREP?command.? I still have yet to figure out how to clear my EREP data (let alone figure out why my EREP area is full already).

I guess I'm wondering:

1) How do I clear my EREP area?
2) How do I figure out what is causing my EREP area to fill up so quickly?
3) How do I expand the EREP area?

As for the manuals, I find searching a nice feature, BUT I find the digital?books are so SLOW in moving around.? I remember physical books were so much faster in going to specific areas or speed reading to find the useful and/or good parts.? Well just my opinion (of course digital books save trees and the environment).

Hello everyone,

I think I got the clear of CPEREP working.? I did:

1) FILEDEF ACCDEV DISK CPEREP?REPORT A
2) CPEREP
2A) Prompt:? clear
2B Prompt: return key
3) CPEREP?ends with saying clear successful.
I run CPEREP again but with clearf?for 2A? (This is clearing the frames.)

I have yet to figure out the other two questions, but clearing the EREP is a first step.

I wrote a simple EXEC to do steps 1-2B. See below.

type cperep01 exec a
?
&CONTROL CMS
FILEDEF ACCDEV DISK CPEREP REPORT A
&STACK CLEAR
&STACK
CPEREP
&EXIT

I Hope This Helps

Don't know whether anyone is still interested in this but here are some more answers...
?
2) How do I figure out what is causing my EREP area to fill up so quickly?
? ? The CP error recording area records all device errors seen by CP... things like INTREQ or CMDREJ among others.
?
3) How do I expand the EREP area
? ? The CP error recording area is defined by the SYSERR= parameter on the SYSRES macro in DMKSYS
?
Here is a little bit more on how to run the CPEREP program
  • FILEDEF? ACCDEV DUMMY
    This is a necessary definition. In the real world, it would be a tape device where you would accumulate the error info for the CE t to examine
  • FILEDEF EREPPT PRINTER
    This is where the printed report goes
  • CPEREP
    PRINT=PS? ? this prints a summary and all error details
    CLEAR? ? ? ? ? clears the error recording area
Here are a couple of publications that give more info

  • (There are other copies out there but they are missing important parts)

I agree?with you about printed manuals.? While I love the search and find features, I find ebooks less functional than printed reference material.?

Mark,

I seem to recall &STACK defaults to FIFO order.? To stack lifo, you need to specify &STACK LIFO token token token ....
The undefined module names suggest a TXTLIB or LOADLIB is missing and needs to be GLOBAL'ed.? Alas, I don't remember which one it is.?? I have a Release 5 VM/SP Planning Guide open next to me and it suggests that MAINT 19D or 201 might have what you need.? The sample DIRECT definition shows
?
LINK MAINT 190 190 RR
LINK MAINT 19D 19D RR
LINK MAINT 201 192 RR
?
I'll rummage around a bit and see what else I can find.
