[MGR.CUTEST1,REXJOBS]:

I suspect the problem you experienced may be caused by an incorrectly
OCTcomped system SL during the installation of one or more MPE patches.

Hewlett-Packard's response center has the problem documented under
SR: 8606232211 (KBRC00007442). The patch that we have noticed to
cause the problem is MPEKXX0. However, there could be other patches
with similar behavior.


How to detect the problem (courtesy of Stan Sieler):
--------------------------

     :debug
     cm
     var foo cmtonmnode (mpefiletype + %27)
     nm
     dc foo, 7

        You'll see something like the following (I flagged the
        bad instructions with "-->"):

        TRANS $22.1f66194
        01f66194  MPEFILETYPE+%27    4b7d0028  LDW   20(sr0,r27),r29
        01f66198  d06c1fc1  EXTRS    r3,30,31,r12
        01f6619c  d3bd1fc1  EXTRS    r29,30,31,r29
-->   01f661a0  d4dd0a10  ZDEP     r29,15,16,r6
-->   01f661a4  d58c0a10  ZDEP     r12,15,16,r12
-->   01f661a8  0986d406  SUB,NSV  r6,r12,r6
-->   01f661ac  e680e5a0  BLE      720(sr7,r20)

If you don't see the "SUB,NSV & BLE", then you don't have this problem.


Problem description says:
------------------------

SL.PUB.SYS OCT retranslator - Due to a bug in the MPE patch process,
SL.PUB.SYS may sometimes be translated incorrectly, resulting in
possible program aborts. This AUTOPAT-based script will create a new
CSLT tape containing a correctly translated SL.PUB.SYS.


How to correct the problem:
---------------------------

Call HP's Response Center to obtain a solution.

Alternatively, HP has a solution to the problem available from the
Jazz website.

The URL for the AUTOPAT-based scripts is

http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/scripts/sloctfix/

Please read the INSTALL.txt file, and then download I00STRSL and M00STRSL to
your e3000 (if you don't have AUTOPAT laying around, download that file
too).

Processing the STRSL files with AUTOPAT results in a new CSLT tape with a
correctly translated SL.PUB.SYS.  Then UPDATE from the new CSLT to install
the fixed SL.PUB.SYS.

--------------------------




Cordially,
