245.5Oh, *that* problem.NABETH::alanDr. File System's Home for Wayward Inodes.Mon Jan 27 1997 23:0016
	The basic problem here is that we're not using a VMS ERROR
	status for our exit code.  I'll get this fixed tomorrow or
	Wednesday.

	The more interesting question is whether we should have
	specific error codes (operating system specific of course)
	for the various common failures.  The common robot ones are
	"Destination full", "source empty", "cartridge unavailable",
	"<element-type> Invalid".  It would be pretty easy to map
	the common operating system ones as well.

	But, I suspect there is an non-trivial amount of work to
	create a message library for MRU that will let VMS map
	our error codes back to useful messages when we exit.  If there
	is a great need for this, please tell our Product Manager,
	Byran Cox (COOKIE::COX).
245.6Close -> Wishlist for facility.COOKIE::MRUWed Feb 12 1997 19:513
    I've verified that we're something that will trigger VMS to
    recognize that there was an error.  While getting our own
    facility value may be useful, I'll make a wishlist item.

	Well, we certainly are something at times...  I should have
	written "we're returning something", which we are also doing
	now.

    If your team pursues a mapping of "common robot error" to
    operating system specific error codes please contact me.  I think
    it would be of great value if all the SMS products that work
    with jukeboxes/autochangers were to use a common set of error
    codes, at least per operating system.
    
    Regarding VMS, as a group we may be able to get new codes assigned
    if we have a list of error conditions.
