NCP Documentation Errata Sheet
Date	Affected NCP	NCP Family Name	Changes Summary
10-24-96	ncp 23 244	File System	The Directory Handle variable was documented as a LONG field. It is actually a BYTE field.
10-29-96	ncp 90 130	Data Migration	The documentation should have shown 4 more return fields than was listed.
10-29-96		File System	The documentation defined RReferenceID as a long, when it is actually a word.
10-29-96	ncp 22 42	File System	The documentation shows the sub-function length with a 2 plus ... when it should of been 3 plus ....
12-16-96	ncp 123 56	Statistical	The ServerName in the KnownServStruc reply buffer is null terminated instead of as previously documented to be length preceeded.
12-16-96	ncp 23 205	File Server Environment	This NCP can be used by a user without console privileges. The documentation used to state that you couldn't. Changed return code "no privileges" to "Unknown Request".
12-16-96	ncp 22 34	File System	Subfunction structure length should be 6. Documentation used to say 5.
12-17-96	NDS Protocol Verb 34	Novell Directory Services	NDS Protocol verb DSV_UPDATE_SCHEMA (0x22) shows incorrect response "Returns only NCP header". Should be uint32 version.
12-17-96	ncp 123 01	Statistical	If Subfunction structure length = = 3 and version = = 1, you get back ExtraCacheCounters in addition to other Cache info.
2-4-97	ncp 87 31	File System	Updated the NCP 87 31 documentation to include all levels of information that can be returned.
2-13-97	ncp 123 27	Statistical	Updated the NCP 123 27 doc to describe the ProtocolID and ProtocolName reply field formats.
2-13-97	ncp 123 24	Statistical	Updated the NCP 123 24 doc to fully describe the reply fields that can be returned. The old doc showed 1 BoardName being returned instead of a full, short and logical board name that are really returned if present. They are all ASCIIZ strings.
2-28-97	ncp 104 02	Novell Directory Services	The offset for ReplyData was 14 and should have been 16. Also, ReplyData is a byte[], the size of which is determined by the verb used in the request and the ReplySize.
3-12-97	ncp 23 243	File System	Added a description of what comes back in the reply buffer for "Path". The path is returned as a group of components. Each directory, subdirectory or file in the path is considered to be a component. Each component is length preceeded and is followed by the next component. The path is ended by a null. The volume name is NOT returned as a component in the path.
3-18-97	ncp 87 01 ncp 87 30 ncp 87 32 ncp 87 33	File System	If creating a subdirectory, the DesiredAccessRights parameter is NOT used to specify Access Rights. It is used to specify an Inherited Rights Filter. This would typically be passed in as 0xFF. This applies to all of the listed NCPs.
3-28-97	ncp 104 03 ncp 104 07	Novell Directory Services	Added several NCP verb definitions. Also started updating and correcting the NDS protocol verb definitions.
6-3-97	ncp 23 29	Connections	Added a missing error code 224 (0xE0) ERR_NO_LOGIN_CONNECTIONS_AVAILABLE.
6-3-97	ncp 36 00	NCP Extensions	The documentation for NCP 36 00 incorrectly stated that the NCP request required an NCP Extension name and length when an NCP Extension Number was what was required. Added a SubFuncStrucLen to the request packet. Also the reply packet did not show that an additional 32 bytes of custom data is returned.
6-3-97	ncp 36 01	NCP Extensions	The documentation for NCP 36 01 incorrectly stated that the NCP request required an NCP Extension name and length when neither of these fields are used. Also added a SubFuncStrucLen to the request packet.
6-3-97	ncp 36 02	NCP Extensions	Added a SubFuncStrucLen to the request packet, and also added a CustomData field to the reply packet which is an additional 32 bytes of custom data that may be optionally returned.
6-3-97	ncp 36 03	NCP Extensions	Added a SubFuncStrucLen to the request packet.
6-3-97	ncp 36 04	NCP Extensions	Added a SubFuncStrucLen to the request packet. Also added a note indicating the StartingNumber should be set to 0 for the initial request.
6-3-97	ncp 36 05	NCP Extensions	The documentation for NCP 36 05 incorrectly stated that the NCP request required an NCP Extension name and length when an NCP Extension Number was what was required. Added a SubFuncStrucLen to the request packet. Also the reply packet did not show that an additional 32 bytes of custom data is returned.
6-3-97	ncp 36 06	NCP Extensions	The documentation for NCP 36 06 incorrectly stated that the NCP request required an NCP Extension Number. Also added a SubFuncStrucLen to the request packet.
9-16-97	ncp 123 60	Statistical NCPs	The SetCmdFlags and SetCmdName reply fields are null terminated strings, not length preceeded strings.
9-18-97	ncp 104 02 NDS Function 2	Novell Directory Services	The fields entryID & infoFlags were reveresed. The ordering should be the infoFlags field then the entryID field.
10-28-97	ncp 123 16	Statistical NCPs	New MOAB NCP. Will allow client to enumerate for information on a provided connection list.
10-28-97	ncp 123 17	Statistical NCPs	New MOAB NCP. Will allow client to enumerate for a list of NCP Services Network Addresses that the server supports.
1-20-98	ncp 21 12	Message NCPs	New MOAB NCP. Will allow client to control Broadcast & Watchdog Messages for connections in supplied list.
2-2-98	ncp 123 27	Statistical NCPs	Changed the unused or reserved parameter in the reply buffer from a WORD to a BYTE, and added another parameter (numberOfProtocols) to the reply buffer. This is so that the issuer can tell how many protocols are bound to a board and iterate on numberOfProtocols to pull them out of the buffer. This was actually done 11-18-96.
2-6-98	ncp 23 235	File Server Environment NCPs	Changed the ParentDirectoryNumber and DirectoryNumber fields which are returned to DOSParentDirectoryNumber and DOSDirectoryNumber respectively. There was confusion about which name space the directory entries referred to when the namespace field returned something other than DOS. The namespace field applies only to the FileName that is also returned.
2-13-98	ncp 123 17	Statistical NCPs	Changed the subfunction structure length from 6 to 5.
2-27-98	ncp 23 33	Connection NCPs	New NCP (23 33 Generate GUIDs) for MOAB.
2-27-98	ncp 123 10	Statistical NCPs	Removed the more field from the reply buffer and replaced it with an unused field. Added a field to indicate the total number of NLMs loaded as well as the number of nlm numbers returned in the list.
2-27-98	ncp 87 07	File system NCPs	There were 2 name bits defined in the ModifyDOSInfoMask table in the file system section. Changed bit one from "name bit" to "Attribute Bit" and bit zero from "name bit" to "Unused bit". This is because in NCP 87 07, the modify name bit should not be available since you can't change the name with this NCP.
3-4-98	ncp 123 17	Statistical NCPs	Added a 16 byte serverGUID field to the reply.
3-19-98	ncp 37	NCP Extension NCPs	Updated the request and reply data to show neccessary fields if issuing NCP 37 (NCP Extension Request).
6-10-98	ncp 23 17	File Server Environment NCPs	Defined reserved byte 76 to be defined as the MixedModePathHandling indicator flag. This byte will be set to one if the server supports the handling of DOS & LONG names in a specified path.
6-26-98	Return Info Mask (ncp 87 )	File system NCPs	Defined in the ReturnInfoMask field, a bit to request the LastAccessedTime on a file to be returned. This bit can only be selected if the RNewStyle bit is enabled.
6-27-98	ncp 90 00	File system NCPs	If this bit is set, then for each file that ParseTree finds, it will return a WORD containing the LastAccessedTime (in DOS format).
11-3-98	ncp 123 08	Statistical NCPs	Added a reserved (WORD) field and changed the NumberOfCPUs in the reply buffer from a WORD to a LONG. Also removed comment that the number of CPUs was always "currently set to 1".
11-3-98	ncp 123 71	Statistical NCPs	Added NCP 123 71 to the NCP page table so it would be accessible.
11-3-98	ncp 123 72	Statistical NCPs	Added NCP 123 72 to the NCP page table so it would be accessible.
11-3-98	ncp 87 20	File System	The MoreEntriesFlag field is set to 0xff when more entries are available. The documentation used to say this would be set to 1.
11-13-98	ncp 87 43	File System	Added documentation for NCP 87 43 (Revoke File Handle Rights. This NCP was introduced in April 1996 for NetWare v4.11. See NCP for additional details.
1-11-99	ncp 22 51	File System	Fixed documentation for NCP 22 51. The volumeNumber field was documented as a long, but actually is a byte.
1-13-99	ncp 23 17	File Server Environment NCPs	Changed remark about MaximumServiceConnections to indicate that it is a count of the maximum number of connection slots that the server has allocated since it has been up. It does not indicate how many connections the server supports, or necessarily show how many connections are currently logged in. Also changed the description of MaxConnectionsEverUsed to reflect that this reply field is referring to "licensed" connections only.
1-25-99	ncp 123 16	Statistical NCPs	Added additional comments regarding the connectionInfo structure returned. It will always contain the connection number for each item returned, then additional connection information as requested in the mask.
2-9-99	ncp 87 36	Synchronization NCPs	Changed the subfunction code from 33 to 36. Also linked NCPs 87 36, 87 37, and 87 38 from the ncppage87.htm to the sync.htm file. These NCPs used to not show up under NCP 87.
2-10-99	ncp 87 40	File System	Added the documentation for NCP 87 40. (Search For File or Subdirectory Set (Extended errors)). This NCP was added in the v4.11 time frame.

3-11-99	ncp 123 61	Statistical NCPs	Switched the order in which NumberOfSetCategories and NextStartNumber appear in the reply buffer. Also removed the CategoryNameLen reference since this NCP does not use that and is in ASCIIZ format. Updated the comments to indicate this.
3-12-99	ncp 87 10 ncp 87 11	File System	Added comments about the use of the NetWare Handle Path Structure to NCP 87 10, 87 11 and to the "NetWare Handle and Path Structure Definition" explanation in the "File System NCPs" section.
4-8-99		File System	Under File Security, the definitions for Bits 11 and 13 were changed. Bit 11 now correctly describes the suballoc bit (rather than a "reserved" bit). Bit 13 is now correctly marked as Reserved.
5-3-99	ncp 59	File System	In the request packet, the number of bytes for the reserved field was changed from 3 to 1.
5-5-99	ncp 123 23	Statistical	In the request packet, changed the "moreflag" field to "Unused" and eliminated any references to "moreflag." Also added explanation on how to ensure all information has been received by using the StartNumber and NumOfCCinPkt fields.
5-24-99	ncp 123 17	Statistical	Changed offset 14 in the reply header from the reserved to the serverInfoFlags parameter, which is still in little Endian order. Also, documented the CLUSTER_MEMBER_BIT 0x00000001 constant defined for this parameter.

02-06-2002	New Style NetWare Info Structure	File System	Added comments to the New Style NetWare Info Structure section. It now includes descriptions about the 64BitFileSize bit that is supported for NSS volumes and that can be obtained using NCPs 87 1, 87 30, 87 32, 87 33, 87 3, 87 6, 87 20, 87 16, 87 29. This will return true 64 bit file sizes on NSS volumes, and 32 bit file sizes on legacy volumes.
02-13-2002	ncp 22 51	File System	Added a new status flag bit (64BitFileOffsetsEnabledBit) (0x40) that will indicate whether 64 bit offsets are enabled for a given volume. NSS volumes are currently the only volumes supporting this. NCP requests using the 64 bit offsets, directed at legacy volumes will support 32 bit offsets.

03-29-2002	ncp 87 01 ncp 87 30 ncp 87 32 ncp 87 33	File System	Added reference to the new OpenCreateMode OPEN_64BIT_ACCESS (0x20) that is available to open files that have a size greater than 4 gig. This bit does nothing on a legacy file system volume, but allows opens on an NSS volume.
4-10-2002	ncp 92 xx	SecretStore NCPs	Added general NCP documentation for the SecretStore NCPs that the security services team registers and maintains.
8-28-2003	ncp 123 16	Statistical	Added new structure of information (LanguageInfo) that can be returned if the new mask LanguageInfoBit 0x100 is specified. This will retrieve info that new NCP 23 34 (Set Language Encoding info) can set.
8-28-2003	ncp 23 34	Connections	Added a new NCP 23 34 (Set Connection Language Info) that will allow the setting of the connection code page and the setting on the connection status field indicating whether NCP requests can come in in UTF8 format to volumes and file systems that support this.
08-28-2003	ncp 22 51	File System	Added a new status flag bit (UTF8NCPStringsEnabledBit) (0x80) that will indicate whether a given volume supports incoming NCP requests containing path strings encoded in UTF8. NSS volumes are currently the only volumes supporting this.
12-16-2003	Case 89 NCPs	Enhanced File System NCPs	Added new enhanced file system NCPs under Case 89. These NCP's subfunction numbers correspond with the Case 87 NCP's subfunction numbers. The difference between the 2 is that the Case 89 NCPs allow sending/returning of path string data in either UTF8 format or Ascii format. A field has been added to the NetWareHandlePathStruct which indicates which format is being received and/or returned. The component path strings are now WORD length preceeded rather than BYTE length preceeded. NSS volumes all calling these new NCPs with UTF8 formatted data. The traditional file system only allows Ascii to be passed with these NCPs.
01-22-2004	ncp 87 12	File System	Changed "reserved" input field to DstNameSpace and added comments below about additional Allocate Mode bits and their usage.
2-10-2004	ncp 87 65	File System	Changed offset of input parameter "Data" from 24 to 22.
2-10-2004	ncp 87 09	File System	Changed input parameter "Reserved" to "Flags". Also updated the documentation regarding the reply fields if the Flags field is set to either zero or 0x40.
03-10-2004	ncp 87 64 ncp 87 65 ncp 87 66 ncp 87 67 ncp 87 68 ncp 87 69	File System	Added 6 new NCPs that allow 64 bit offsets for files greater than 4 gig in size. This is available only on NSS volumes. These were added on 2-14-2002, in Netware v6.sp2 and newer. They are not available on Netware 5x.
06-1-2005	ncp 87 03 ncp 87 20 ncp 87 66 ncp 87 67	File System	Updated the doc to correct statements about the NetWareFileNameStruct. It used to indicate that the name was always returned regardless of whether this bit was set or not, on NCP 87 3 and 89 3. In fact, it is only always set on NCP 87 20 and 89 20.
