I am not really trying to work with DSE on my database. 
Instead, I am making sure that I have not upset IO with my source code edits.

When I run DSE, I see this.  It doesn't seem to recognize when I enter HELP.  And I am getting some mention of a key expiring. 


File    /opt/worldvista/EHR/g/mumps.dat
Region  DEFAULT

DSE> HELP
%YDB-I-TEXT, HELP command error
%SYSTEM-E-ENO127, Key has expired
DSE> ?
%YDB-E-CLIERR, Unrecognized command: ?
DSE> help
%YDB-I-TEXT, HELP command error
%SYSTEM-E-ENO127, Key has expired
DSE> ??
%YDB-E-CLIERR, Unrecognized command: ??
DSE> list
%YDB-E-CLIERR, Unrecognized command: LIST
DSE> LIST
%YDB-E-CLIERR, Unrecognized command: LIST
DSE> HELP DUMP
%YDB-I-TEXT, HELP command error
%SYSTEM-E-ENO127, Key has expired
DSE> list
%YDB-E-CLIERR, Unrecognized command: LIST
DSE> HELP
%YDB-I-TEXT, HELP command error
%SYSTEM-E-ENO127, Key has expired
DSE>


It this normal behavior?
Note: I can enter QUIT and exit, so I don't think this has anything to do with user IO.

Thanks
Kevin

Type “dump” or just “d”. 

The help stuff has a complicated architecture. 

Also for regression testing, try LKE and MUPIP which both have a REPL mode.

Sam,

Thanks.  "d" and "dump" both work.

What is REPL mode?  When I search in the AdminOps guide, I'm gettings hits on "replication" and "replace".  I assume that is unrelated.  It REPL a form of user interface, like direct mode is in ydb?

Thanks
Kevin

yes, direct mode or command mode is MUMPS-y speak for Read-Evaluate-Print-Loop (REPL)
