RE: SNA Codes

[Mark Sweeney <MSweeney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

                Alexey,
                Do you know anything about IVR's (Interactive Voice
Response).  The SNA code referenced 1003000 is one we get when using an IVR
attached to an AS/400 emulating 3277 devices. We have 48 configured devices
on the AS400 for the IVR with the last 22 varying on, varying off and active
with no apparent reason at any given time. The IVR is also attached remotely
to a box running os/2.

                        I do not agree.
                        Message says - "function is not supported". It means
that some function was
                        requested in session, but remote partner could not
support this.
                        Now let's think what function may have been
requested. Suppose it is 5250
                        pasthrough. Why it was not supported by a target
system ? AS/400 does support
                        this SNA function, so some resource was not
available or activated. In AS/400
                        case it can be, for example, that there's no
subsystem with applicable
                        communication entries active, or there's no virtual
device to associate with
                        remote 5250 session.
                        For me the code description is clear enough and
gives a good indication where to
                        look for a problem.


                        Best regards
                            Alexey Pytel

                        In typical in-depth technical writing, my version of
the SNA Sense Code
                        manual says the following:

                        1003    "Function Not Supported:  The function
requested is not supported.
                         The function may
                                have been specified by a formatted request
code, a field in an RU,
                        or a control
                                character".

                                0000    No Specific code applies.

                        My question is this.  Why did the developers of SNA
even bother coding for
                        this error.  It seems
                        like a 10030000 is a generic "we can't really tell
what the heck is wrong,
                        but it's not working so we'll
                        spit out this error".

                        Sorry to be of no greater assistance.
