I am using the EFT Kit. Problems that I encoutered with ILV-encoding of
constructor data types are gone. Thanks folks.
I tested the argument to directives as documented in tables 7.1 and 7.2 in
chapter 7 of the SRM. All combinations of REQUIRED versus DEFAULT work as
tables 7.1 and 7.2 say, except one:
The second entry of table 7.1 says that when the user supplies an argument
without a value and that argument does not have a default specified,
the PM prompts for the argument value. The PM does not prompt for the value in
this case, it gives the following error message:
MCC> create subsystem sub fstest1
%MCC-W-VALUEMISSING, The attribute/argument value is missing
where
ARGUMENT Fstest1 = 4 : FileSpec
ECHO = TRUE,
DISPLAY = TRUE,
REQUIRED = FALSE,
SYMBOL = ARG_CREATE_FSTEST1
END ARGUMENT FSTEST1;
The same message is also given when REQUIRED=TRUE and DEFAULT=NO DEFAULT

To tell you the truth I had never read the table in the manor you did,
but it is a reasonable request. We will have to view what we do then
for version 1 as being restricted.
If a command has an attribute/argument that is required, and you don't
enter the attribute/argument at all, then you are prompted for it; if
you enter the attribute/argument name then you must have a default or
enter the value.
Try something like this should happen....
MCC> CREATE SUBSYSTEM SUB
FSTEST1 =

Re -1
Although the action taken is inconsistent with the table entry, I agree it
is not a big deal. However, what about the following :
MCC> CREATE SUBSYSTEM SUB Fstest1 =
MCC>
If "=" is included nothing happens. No error message and no dispatch to the
routine. Just another TRM prompt.
When "=" was not entered after Fstest1, I got the error message mentioned in .0
Isn't there an inconsistency here ?

what happened is that the space was encoded. This is really
inconsistent. I will qar it, we should return an error.
