DFS3646I UNRECOGNIZED OR INCONSISTENT DEVICE ATTRIBUTES. DESC = nnnnnnnn - NODE = xxxxxxxx
or
Explanation
For the first message form, either the IMS logon descriptor name for the given node was incompatible with the characteristics of that node as specified in the CINIT, or the Device Characteristics Table was not found.
SCR field
refers to the screen size information presented to IMS by
the logging-on terminal. - AABB
- The default screen size (AA = lines, BB = columns) in hexadecimal.
- CCDD
- The alternate screen size (CC = lines, DD = columns) in hexadecimal.
- XX
- The screen size control byte in hexadecimal.
- YY
- The video/printer identifier (applicable to non-SNA 3270 devices only).
USE field identifies the
actual screen size used by IMS in searching the Device Characteristics
Table for a matching entry. - Z1
- Number of lines of screen size in hexadecimal.
- Z2
- Number of columns of screen size in hexadecimal.
IMS also searches the DCT for a match on feature information. The feature information from the ETO logon descriptor is compared with the feature information in the DCT entry.
System action
Processing continues.
Operator response
Inform the system programmer.
System programmer response
For the first message form, determine whether descriptor nnnnnnnn correctly describes node xxxxxxxx. Correct the named descriptor, or create a new one specifically for the named node. Verify existence of Device Characteristics Table.
For the second message form, the MFS Service utility can be used to list the entries in the DCT to see what entries are currently defined. The feature information in the ETO logon descriptor (the descriptor LLLLLLLL is identified in the message) and the 'USE' screen size values (identified in the message) must both match a single entry in the DCT. Most likely, the MFS DCT utility needs to be used to add an entry to the DCT for the screen size and feature combination that was not found.
