1014.0. "Delete non printable character message?" by HLFS00::JONGH_D (Daan de Jongh) Thu Mar 06 1997 11:15

    Hi,
    
    A customer has the following message in the watchdog event window:
    
      6-MAR 14:48 ATLAS1 
    
    The message text contains all nl-characters (ascii 0).
    I have two questions about this:
    
    - How can I delete this message without restarting the watchdog?
    - What could be the cause of this problem? (SNS$ADD_MESSAGE ?)
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    Daan de Jongh

	Hi, >> - What could be the cause of this problem? (SNS$ADD_MESSAGE ?) I guess so. The command level interface would not allow this kind of badly formatted message! >> - How can I delete this message without restarting the watchdog? You may want to duplicate the SNS$EXAMPLES:SNS$DELETE_MESSAGES.C source file, comment out the test on the 195th line that way: if isalnum(first_char) { will become /* if isalnum(first_char) / { compile, link and run the executable... It should get you rid of any* external message, whether leading character is printable or not... Best Regards, -- Olivier.
