Printer does work on SDL-HYPERION-4.2.x

 

Hi

I am trying to get MTS working on SDL-HYPERION-4.2.x (on Windows 10).

I changed the entry for PRT2 to what is suggested for D6.0a, but I get an error starting up and the printer is not started (it does not appear in the Hercules panel).

Using the option with nofcbcheck does not seem to start the printer at all (error at startup and no printer in the Hercules panel).

The third option seems to add the printer, but then

# list myfile *print*???????????????????????????? ?
? "*PRINT*": is not available.????????????????????? ?
? Enter a new file/device name, "CANCEL", or "HELP".
? cancel??????????????????????????????????????????? ?
#?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?

?
Is it this something that should be "fixed" in SDL-HYPERION-4.2.x?

Or there is some other incantation I could try in the configuration file or in the MTS setup?

?

Thanks

?

Marco

I've never tried MTS in that version of Hercules, or any version running on Windows. There are many versions of Hercules out there and it's likely that not all of them contain the changes necessary to avoid problems in MTS, but I don't know the details.

However, the error message about PRINT has nothing to do with this. It would imply that you don't have HASP properly started. There should be something in the D6.0 notes about this. I think that you need to run "MTS *HSP" on the console to start it. You may need to also start the main HASP job using "HASP" on the console if it's not already running.

Marco,

My Hercules MTS config file contains :-

0000 3211 "C:\Users\Public\Hercules\MTS-D6-0A\Prt/PTR1x.txt" lpp=66 fcb=1:4,2:34,3:66,4:19,5:5,6:14,7:54,8:63,10:8,11:1 # PTR1, a 3270 data stream printer

000E 1403 "C:\Users\Public\Hercules\MTS-D6-0A\Prt/PTR2x.txt" lpp=66 cctape=(4=1,34=2,66=3,19=4,5=5,14=6,54=7,63=8,8=10,1=11) # PTR2

This is for Hercules version 4.2.1.9826-SDL-g9b5cbe3d (4.2.1.9826)

Both printers appear on the Hercules console.

I have downloaded the "patched" MTSD6.0Aupdated.cnf file from the main web site and just followed instructions.

This is what I have in my .cnf file for SDL 4.2.1.

?

```
000E?? 1403?? Units/PTR2.txt lpp=66 fcb=1:11,4:1,5:5,8:10,14:6,19:4,24:7,34:2,44:6,49:4,54:7,63:8,66:3 optprint # PTR2
# 000E?? 1403?? Units/PTR2.txt nofcbcheck? # PTR2
# 000E?? 1403?? Units/PTR2.txt???????????? # PTR2
```

The three printers are those I tried.? I do not have set up a 3211 at 0000.
The error I get in the first two cases are about the unsupported fcb/nofcbcheck

I am pretty sure I did start HASP in the last test.

All the best

Hi

I was able to make the third, vanilla option to work in my setup.? It was HASP not running properly after all.
Still curious why the other two options bomb.

Thanks

All the best

In what way did they fail? I seem to recall that the options related to loading the FCB were added to Hercules while we were getting MTS up. Perhaps they are not in the version you are using.

According to the documentation

?

?

a 1403 needs a cctape=(….) , the fcb format is only valid for 3203, 3211. “optprint” does not appear to be valid at all
