[comp.os.vms] SNAP correction

graham@DRCVAX.ARPA ("Daniel J. Graham") (05/26/87)

Hello SNAPpers,

Many have received the SNAP program.  There is a potential problem that has 
a simple solution.  I thought I would send this brief fix to the net 
instead of sending out 50+ messages.

When you use the Stat command, the UIC may blow up.  This can be fixed by 
doing two things:

  1. Change the INTEGER*4 UIC(2) to an INTEGER*2.  (The PIDTOALTER data
     item in that same declaration must be a *4, so move it. 
  2. Change the O3 (two of them) in FORMAT statement 112 to O6.

These will correct for the two types of conversion errors that may occur 
when displaying the UIC.

Sorry about that, hope it has not caused too much grief.

Hackito, ergo sum.
