Utility Error Messages
Two types of error messages are generated by the utility programs. The
first type is conditional errors, which occur when a utility cannot begin
a function. Conditional errors do not cause utility program termination;
this is discussed in more detail below. The second type is unconditional
errors, which occur when a utility cannot complete a function.
Unconditional errors usually cause program termination.
Conditional errors are associated with accessing the specified database.
If you are in session mode, conditional errors can be corrected without
terminating the run. After printing the error message, all utility
programs, with the exception of DBUTIL, reprompt with the message "WHICH
DATABASE?", allowing you to reenter the database reference. If you wish
to terminate the utility program at this point, you can type a carriage
return with or without leading blanks. DBUTIL, after printing the error
message, reprompts with two greater than symbols (>>) at which point you
can exit or enter another command. When DBUTIL encounters any errors
while executing, a job control word (JCW) is set to 99. You can check
the JCW in batch mode to determine whether or not a command was accepted.
If you are in job mode and a conditional error occurs while a function is
executing, that function is terminated.
The messages associated with conditional and unconditional errors are
described along with their meanings in the sections entitled "Utility
Program Conditional Messages" and "Utility Program Unconditional
Messages."
