346.0. "Use of Event Flag 39?" by EEMELI::AHVENAINEN (Juhani Ahvenainen, Digital Finland, DTN 879-4762) Fri Jan 31 1997 11:38

Hello

...engineering informed me that DECdtm uses event flag number 39. The customer's
application uses LIB$GET_EF to get a free event flag. 39 falls to the range of
'initially free' event flags. Is there danger of the application getting flag 39
in spite of it's possibly being used by DECdtm already?. (Is it a prerequisite
that all the programs use LIB$GET_EF for the mechanism to work properly?)

This is important because the customer has reported a problem that is
presumabley caused by (applictation-) RTR - DECdtm - DECnet/OSI - Rdb and we
haven't been able to find the culprit yet.

I really can't think of anywhere that DECdtm uses EF 39, but I'll check
on Monday.

Juhani,

Sorry for the delay in replying; I was off ill yesterday and the day before!

I've checked through DECdtm and can't find anywhere that used EF 39, certainly
not in the user's process.  Do you have any idea of there the suggestion that
it does came from?

Alan, 

Thank you very much for the check. I think this is thorough enough.
