SHOW USER /ALL

Bob Olewine — Fri, 16 May 2008 13:09:57 GMT

When I enter $ Show user /all the Terminal
column seems to have an unprintable character in the space just before the ":" and the location after the "terminal" is *undefined*.

Also the output from F$GETJPI("","TERMINAL") has the same character in the same place. This only seems to affect terminals of type:NT (on my system) above 999. Manually fixing-up the
terminal string and using
F$GETDVI("NTYnnnn:","TT_ACCPORNAM") gives the
expected information.

On April 19, 2008 I applied the latest update patchs to that timefor ALPHA OpenVMS V7.3-2.

I have looked; but can anyone tell me which
module I can recover to repair this ... or
which 'new' patch to install to fix this.

The good? news is that the users do not seem to
be affected ... but other monitoring tools are.

Thank you.

Bob,

Precisely which character is it? (Hint: Use F$EXTRACT and then do a SHOW SYMBOL).

Robert, ...
Here is from your request ...

MDA> x=f$getjpi("","terminal")
MDA> sx
X = "NTY7134.:"
MDA> xx=x
MDA> xi=f$extract(7,1,x)
MDA> sho sym xi
XI = "."

I had gotten this before ... it looks like a valid character. was going to get the out put to a file and the dump the file to try to really see what the hex was.

Sorry here is the first line of the dumped file.

00000000 00000000 0000FFFF 003A0434
33313759 544E8D01 000B0004 8D010003 .........NTY7134.:............. 000000

from the patch description

5.2 Problems addressed in this kit

5.2.1 F$GETJPI(0,"TERMINAL") Displays Device Name Incorrectly

5.2.1.1 Problem Description:

After installing the VMS732_LOGIN-V0100 patch kit,
F$GETJPI(0,"TERMINAL") might improperly display the
device name with a "." non-printable character. For
example:

$ TERM = F$GETJPI(0,"TERMINAL")
$ SHOW SYMBOL TERM
TERM = "NTY1038.:"

The problem occurs when the terminal device number is
greater than 999.

Ian, ...
Thank you.
I have a test system I will replace the
original LOGINOUT and see that all still
kinda works before I do the production
system.

Will also wait on the LOGIN V200 kit to be
released.

Bob

For the record, that's /FULL, isn't it?

alp $ show users /all
%DCL-W-IVQUAL, unrecognized qualifier - check validity, spelling, and placement
\ALL\
