109.0. "Problem with TBD example on page 10-2 of DECmcc Access Module Programming manual" by ASD::KRISHNA (Ritu) Thu Apr 26 1990 21:03

I am trying to follow the example on page 10-2 in the DECmcc Access Module 
Programming manual.   I want to be able to test the use of MCC$CALL 
interface independent of the DECmcc dictionary.  After step 6, I get 
"%MCC-E-NOTFOUND Dispatch entry for the specified entry does not exist."

We have a stripped down version of MCC, smaller dictionary to enable us to do
work without having to wait a long time for the whole build.   We are just 
learning about MCC here.

Any help would be appreciated.   Let me know what other info I can provide.
						Thanks.

    Exactly what are you trying to do?
    
    If you simply want to see if you can enroll and call a management
    module you are developing, enrollment is in fact "independent of the
    dictionary".  Your AM or FM can enroll just fine if you make up
    values for the V, E, A parts of the dispatch table which don't conflict
    with any other enrolled MMs.
    
    Of course if you go beyond that and start invoking MCC-supplied MMs (in
    particular, the console PM), you will need your entity properly
    described in the dictionary.

What I am trying to do is test the use of MCC$CALL interface independent of 
DECmcc dictionary.   I went to a "Writing Access Module" class in March where
as part of the lab exercises we played around with an access module to access
the UAF file.  Eventually,  I will be writing the IP Performance Analyzer 
Function Module which will be calling the SNMP access module.  Using the above
lab  environment, I am interested in learning to use TBD by using MCC$CALL 
interface independent of DECmcc dictionary to help me in writing the FM.

The example, in "DECmcc Access Module Programming" on page 10-2, promises to 
let you test the use of the MCC$CALL interface, that's why I am using it.   
I am just learning about all the different pieces of MCC, so I'd appreciate 
any help/insight you can provide.

						Thanks

    question?
    
    did you enroll your module, even from TBD you must do this. Also
    have you validated that the values you have in your vector files
    match those you are depositing with TBD? 
    
    A sample session would help in gettin gyou some answers.
