PROGRAM 2: Error 53 handled by system

CHARACTERISTICS: ynny

OPERATOR SCRIPT:
See OPERATOR SCRIPT for Program 1.

DESIGN:

Throughout this program, every time an error is signalled, the
system-defined error handler should call <error logging> to write in
error message on the error file.

Also, throughout this program, this is what is meant by
   "operator verifies error nmessage":
display next error message in error file to operator
OPQA/according to the error message, which function generated the error?
if (operator response = expected function) then
   OPQA/if error message identifies error code, enter it, else "n"
   if (operator response = "n") then
      display standard error wording(s) to operator
      OPQA/does error meaage match standard wording?
      pass/fail depending on (operator response = yes)
   else
      pass/fail depending on (operator response = expected code)
   endif
else
   fail
   informative message on missing/incorrect function
endif

<open workstation> twice with same parameters to test if error 53 is generated:
ignoring function, workstation identifier already is in use.

*** *** ***  Generate errors; test absence of side effects  *** *** ***

call MULTWS to get number of all accessible workstations : nwkall
call MULTWS to get
      workstation identifier: owkid(1:nwkall)
      connection identifier:  oconid(1:nwkall)
      workstation type :      owtype(1:nwkall)
      for every accessible workstation

for ix = 1, nwkall
   <open workstation> with owkid(ix), oconid(ix), owtype(ix)
   <open workstation> with owkid(ix), oconid(ix), owtype(ix): signals error

TEST: #SR 3
      "If <open workstation> signals an error because the specified
       workstation identifier is in use, it should not cause any other
       effect."
pass/fail depending on (system state = PHIGS-open and
                        workstation state = open)
next ix

*** *** ***  Results of system-defined error handling  *** *** ***

for ix = 1, nwkall
TEST: #SR 3
      "If <open workstation> is called and the specified workstation
       identifier is in use, it should write an accurate,
       self-identifying error message on the error file."
pass/fail depending on (operator verifies error message)
next ix
