OLP System Task Usage

OLP display modes

You can use OLP in either of the following display modes:

In full screen mode, OLP displays one full screen of log records at a time. This discussion assumes that you are using OLP in full screen display mode.
In line mode, OLP displays one log message at a time. This display mode is appropriate at terminals that don't support full screen display, such as certain TTY terminals. You request to use line mode by invoking OLP with the NOFSCR session option.

Status messages

The following table lists the status messages that OLP returns in the screen's STATUS field:

Message	Meaning
FIRST	OLP has reached the beginning of the requested time period.
LAST	OLP has reached the end of the requested time period.
WRAP	OLP has wrapped the log file around to the beginning of the DDLDCLOG area.
XSREC	OLP read more records from the DDLDCLOG area without selecting a line for the display than the RLIMIT session option allows.
XSPRT	OLP queued more lines for printing than allowed by the PLIMIT session option.
TIME	You entered an invalid time (for example, 24:06).
DATE	You entered an invalid date (for example, 83367).
TIMES	The beginning of the requested time period is later than the end of the requested time period.
SYNTX	You entered a session option incorrectly.
PAPFK	You pressed an unsupported PA or PF key.
LOGIC	A logic error has occurred.
Snnnn	The displayed four-digit error-status code (indicated here by nnnn was returned to the ERROR-STATUS field of the IDMS communications block.
LOCAL	The time is displayed in the local format.
UTC	The time is displayed in the UTC format.

Specifying session options

You can specify OLP session options at both of the following times:

When you invoke OLP. For example, you specify the PRINT and WRAP session options when invoking OLP as shown below:

V105 ENTER NEXT TASK CODE: CA IDMS release nn.n tape volser node nodename olp print wrap << Type session options on the same line as the OLP task code

When you are using OLP. To do this, you type options you want in the third line of the OLP screen. Additionally, you can update the FROM and TO times by typing new times and dates directly over the previous ones.

OLP control keys
