Appendix B UTILITY ERROR MESSAGES
Error messages are issued for all the Dictionary/3000 utilities. The
utilities generate several types of messages on the terminal. Each type
of message is found in this appendix or in the appropriate reference
manual for the indicated subsystem. The types of messages are:
1. Errors
*ERROR: error-message
Errors are conditions that arise out of a user response or some operation
during the utility process. A correct response or remedy for the error
condition is required.
2. IMAGE errors
*IMAGE ERROR: error-message
IMAGE errors occur when a call to the IMAGE data base management system
cannot be performed. The error message returned by IMAGE is displayed.
Refer to the IMAGE/3000 Reference Manual for more information.
3. File errors
*FILE ERROR: error-message
File errors occur when a call to the MPE file system cannot be performed.
The error message returned by the file system is displayed. Refer to the
MPE 3000 Error Messages and Recovery Reference Manual for more
information.
4. Warnings
*WARNING: message
Warning messages are conditions that the utility program informs the user
about. They are not fatal to the utility process.
5. Condition prompts
