LineCalc Error Messages

This section describes the possible error messages and how to handle each one of them.

Syntax error in AEL file

Comment: An error has occurred in an AEL file.

Category: Syntax error in AEL file

How to resolve it: Check the AEL file, confirming that all the parentheses are matched, there are no missing ";", etc.

AEL files not loaded

Comment: The AEL files are not loaded due to error(s) occurred.

Category: Syntax error in AEL file

How to resolve it: Check the AEL file, confirming that all the parentheses are matched, there are no missing ";", etc.

Invoke process failed

Comment: Unable to invoke process (could be the LineCalc Engine, Help Server, etc.)

Category: Error in the initialization phase

How to resolve it: Confirm that all the necessary tools (LineCalc Engine, Status Server, Help Server, and Hardcopy Server) are available and functional.

Unable to connect to the Status Server

Comment: The LineCalc User Interface cannot connect to the Status Server process.

Category: Error in the initialization phase.

How to resolve it: Confirm that all the necessary tools (LineCalc Engine, Status Server, Help Server, and Hardcopy Server) are available and functional.

AEL command not found

Comment: The specified AEL command is not found

Category: Invalid AEL command.

How to resolve it: Confirm that the command is spelled properly and is indeed a supported function.

Incomplete config file

Comment: Some information in the configuration file, linecalc.cfg, is missing.

Category: Error in configuration file.

How to resolve it: Search the linecalc.cfg file to find the required information that is missing and replace it. Without this information, the program cannot function.

Init file not found

Comment: The initialization file, lcuiinit, is not found.

Category: Error in the initialization file.

How to resolve it: The initialization file must be placed where the program can read it. This is usually $HPEESOF_DIR/lib/linecalc . Confirm that all the information is there: the users can add more information to it, but the user should never delete any information from the original initialization file.
