PROGRAM 6: Error 208 handled by system

CHARACTERISTICS: ynny

OPERATOR SCRIPT:
See OPERATOR SCRIPT for Program 1.

DESIGN:
Throughout this program, every time an error is signalled (as noted
by the tag "signals error"), the system-defined error handler should
call <error logging> to write in error message on the error file.

Post structure with a display priority less than 0 or larger than 1
to test if the function 111  generates error 208: ignoring function,
the display priority is out of range.

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

<open workstation> wkid
create structure network 100 - 101
<post structure> with wkid, structure id=100, display priority=0.5

<post structure> with wkid, 101, display priority=-0.1 : signals error
<post structure> with wkid, 101, display priority= 1.1 : signals error
use <inquire posted structure> to get:
     number = number of posted structures
     postst = list of posted structures
     orgpri = priority
TEST: #SR 6
      "If <post structure> signals an error because the specified
       display priority is out of range, it should not cause any other
       effect."
pass/fail depending on (system state = PHIGS-open and
                        workstation state = open and
                        number = 1 and postst = (100) and
                        orgpri = 0.5)

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

TEST: #SR 6
      "If <post structure> is called and the specified display
       priority is out of range, it should write an accurate,
       self-identifying error message on the error file."
pass/fail depending on (operator verifies error message)

TEST: #SR 6
      "If <post structure> is called and the specified display
       priority is out of range, it should write an accurate,
       self-identifying error message on the error file."
pass/fail depending on (operator verifies error message)
