[HECnet] RSTS/E started emitting "?EVTLOG (BLDNIC) -- %Integer error" messages

[Keith Halewood]

I’m running RSTS/E 10.1-L out of the box so to speak. I’m not seeing any error messages.

Paul Koning is working on a fix.

The RSTS/E DECnet event logger has an integer overflow too.  He said in a e-mail to me -

“ I think I found the problem, yes it's a signed overflow.  The "julian halfdays" used in the event log timestamp overflows on 10-Nov-2021.  I fixed an unsigned issue in the INPUT to the function that converts RSTS date to julian halfday, but I didn't notice the unsigned issue in the formula for the output.”

I am receiving the same messages on the console since today. I am running the “latest” DECnet images that I picked up in July 2020.
