Home TN, Ann Arbor MI, MARTINEZ CA. Blood Bank Clearance: N/A NOIS: ZZZ-1204-N1237/HD0000000064552 Problem : Cache resets $Y to 0 after it gets to 65535 and certain terminal types at sites have the number of lines set to 99999. This causes a problem when the device handler attempts to pad the output until $Y reached 99999 but at 65535, $Y got reset to 0. It just kept looping and adding LINE FEEDS to the output until the disk filled up. FIX: Change the field definition for Device File (#3.5) PAGE LENGTH (#11) and Terminal type (#3.2) PAGE LENGTH (#3) to have a max value of 65500. A small post-init routine will scan the files and replace any values that Currently exceed the maximum value of 65500. This patch also has a update to the Device file (#3.5) DD for field VMS DEVICE TYPE (#63). This is to work with changes that the HSITES has made to the SYSPRINT.COM file for VMS printer setup.
