Q:
What is the difference between the following MPT input formats and how do I determine what I have?
AFP
AFPLINEDATA (in JRB this is refered to as 'UNCOMPOSED')
A:
These input formats are all valid for MPT:
AFP - Otherwise known as COMPOSED, MO:DCA or 'fully composed AFP'. This is a combination of the variable print 'text' and (typically) all the AFP resources needed to render the document.This includes (but is not limited to):
FORMDEF, PAGEDEF, OVERLAYS, FONTS...etc. Fully composed AFP can be created a variety of ways, for example:
1) Composed by a product like IBM's ACIF
2) Output from a product like DCF
You can identify this format on SDSF by:
1) viewing output
2) issuing SET HEX ON
3) scrolling left
Each record begins with X'5A' and look something like this:
AFPLINEDATA - Otherwise known as UNCOMPOSED.
This is simply traditional 'MVS' print lines using ASA or machine carriage control. It is combined with AFP resources by MPT to produce the desired document. You specify the FORMDEF, PAGEDEF, OVERLAYS, etc. to use and MPT 'composes' the document as it transforms it.
So, a separate product to perform the composition is not required.

IN LELOG DD:
License error: CPUID does not match. Expected:xxxx. Received from system: xxxx
A:
The CPUID used to generate the license.dat file does not match the CPUID of this machine. You can obtain your CPUID by issuing the following command on your Z/OS console: /D M=CPU
Note: The license.dat file is obtained at MPT startup so if you make a change to the file you must 'bounce' MPT for it to be effective.

IN SYSPRINT DD:
MPTE937 - license.dat file OPEN failed
A:
MPT requires a valid 'license file' obtained from MacKinney Systems.
Check the following:
1) obtain license.dat from MacKinney Systems
2) FTP (binary) into your /u/MPT/DLL directory
The actual directory at your site depends upon the value of the ROOT_DIRECTORY keyword ($INIT member). For example if you have ROOT_DIRECTORY=/u/myMPT; you would FTP your license.dat file into /u/myMPT/DLL
3) The license.dat filename is case sensitive.
Note: The license.dat file is obtained at MPT startup so if you make a change to the file you must 'bounce' MPT for it to be effective.
