NOTE
The field number is a unique number assigned to each field by FORMSPEC
and is completely independent of the field's position in the data buffer or the
form. It only changes if the batch command, , is used. You can alter the
length, position or other characteristics of a field without affecting the field
number. The field number provides a way to locate fields regardless of their
position.
THE HP32209S UTILITY
The HP322095 utility provides you with a simple way to confirm the versions of both the
native mode software and the compatibility mode software that you are currently running
on the system. HP322095 resides in the PUB.SYS group and account. You can use it by
typing the MPE command.
:RUN HP32209S.PUB.SYS
The screen will display the product name and version as well as the version number of
each segment of the software. This is to indicate any patches that may have a version
number different from the product.
This is a quick way to test whether native mode is moving through to compatibility mode
on the MPE/XL system, and hence to confirm that the VPLUS software is accessible in
compatibility mode.
Example When you run HP32209S, the screen displays the information in the format
shown in the following example, first for native mode and then for compatibility mode. In
this example, VPLUS native mode is enabled and the VPLUS switch to compatibility mode
is disabled.
