Unknown mode ‘shutdown’ in tps_msh_fix

[Vidya Baskaran]

I am getting this error

“Unknown mode ‘shutdown’ in tps_msh_fix”

when running this script that formats the MSH 3 and 4 for the receiving system. But the script does not have a shutdown mode in it, so why the tcl error? I did not get this error while running the script thru the tester.  😕  Any ideas/ thoughts on how to fix it??

We are running QDX 5.2 on AIX 5.1

I guess you need this condition inside the   switch -exact — $mode {….

shutdown {

   # Doing some clean-up work

}

Hi,

I think is correct. In the testing tool you are only testing in ‘run’ mode unless you flag the initial start box which allows you to test in ‘start’ mode as well.

This means you can’t test timer or shutdown modes in the test tool.

A simple method is to just remove the default path from the switch.  If you have default you must have shutdown and vice versa.  If you don’t have either, it works OK.  No danger here.  When was the last time a proc took the default in a proc.  NEVER!

Adding shutdown fixed it.  I’ll try to do better next time Charlie. 😀
