PQ25313: ***OPCINFO*** WRONG LENGTH DOCUMENTED FOR ADCOM COMMON SEGMENT

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• 5697OPC01
  The OPC TME10 Programming Interface Manual V2R2 (SH19-4378-01),
  APPENDIX A, wrongly documents the length of the ADCOM Common
  Segment.
  The documented length of 169 is a doc error and should read 192
  bytes for the V2R2. The length 169 is correct for V1R3M1 but is
  also incorrect for V2R1; the same error has been made in the
  V2R1 Programming Interfaces manual, SH19-4378-00.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All the OPC 2.1.0 and OPC 2.2.0 customers    *
  *                 using PIF as Programming Interfaces.         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The OPC Programming Interfaces manual,  *
  *                      SH19-4378-00 for Release 2.1.0, in the  *
  *                      first table of the appendix A, related  *
  *                      to the ADCOM-Common Segment and titled  *
  *                      Table 73.ADCOM Control Block, in the    *
  *                      column Len, the top value total length  *
  *                      reported as 169 is erroneous, so the    *
  *                      right value is 192. The same error,     *
  *                      at the same table, is on the manual     *
  *                      SH19-4378-01 for Release 2.2.0.         *
