1284.0. " Event attribute "bell count" doesn't honor "0" (zero) " by CSC32::D_DONOVAN (SummaNulla(The High Point of Nothing)) Tue Apr 30 1996 15:11

       I want to post this issue to a wider audience before doing an IPMT
on this.  Please REPLY if you find different behavior or any noted
restrictions I may have overlooked.

Thanks,

Configuration:

        OpenVMS Alpha V6.1
        PolyCenter Console Mangager V1.6-201

Problem:

        Console Manager doesn't honor a "0" (zero) setting for the
        "C3 Event Priority Attributes - Bell Count".

Discussion:

        After receiving this issue from a customer I tested it out
        on one of my Lab systems.  I set the "Bell Count to - 0" on
        the slider saved the C3 configuration and examined my
        "CONSOLE$C3.DAT" file which had:

                                .
                                .
                                .
                        MAJOR_COLOR: #FFFF0000FFFF
                        MAJOR_BELL: 0
                        MAJOR_VOLUME: 100
                                .
                                .
                                .


        I then made up a "major" test event and associated it with a
        system for a test.  As the customer stated the "% volume" will
        change but the "bell count" will still "beep" once with the above
	settings.

        Both the customer and I used the "$SET WATCH" facility to ensure
        that our user "CONSOLE$C3.DAT" file was being opened and read.
        However I noticed that after changing the "bell count" to "0"
        and restarting my C3 the "C3 Event Priority Attributes" pop-up
        had a "1" in my MAJOR priority slider rather than a "0".

        I ran through the ECO2 listings and couldn't find any specific
        code that set the "MIN_" value but may not have been looking in
        the right places.

Hello,

	We know about this problem. You can open IPMT case with low priority.
	We will include it to wishlist for future release.
