Chapter 5 MESSAGES AND RECOVERY PROCEDURES
An error indication is produced whenever an error occurs during EDIT/3000
operation.
In an interactive session or batch job, EDIT/3000 normally displays the
error number followed by the error message. For example,
*14* INVALID LINE NUMBER
In an interactive session, the user has the option to request a different
error reporting scheme by initiating EDIT/3000 with the MPE command
:RUN EDITOR.PUB.SYS; PARM = 8
In this case, only the error number is displayed. To skip the error
message, merely press RETURN. To request the complete error message, type
any character key except RETURN. For example,
*14*L
INVALID LINE NUMBER
To skip the error message, merely press RETURN.
This option is not available in a batch job. The complete error message
is displayed by EDIT/3000 on the standard list device.
In case of a file system error, a tombstone and the file system error
message are printed in addition to the EDIT/3000 message. For example:
/T FILE1
+-F-I-L-E---I-N-F-0-R-M-A-T-I-0-N---D-I-S-P-L-A-Y+
| ERROR NUMBER: 52 RESIDUE:0 |
| BLOCK NUMBER: 0 NUMREC: 0 |
+------------------------------------------------+
*23*FAILURE TO OPEN TEXT FILE (52)
NONEXISTENT PERMANENT FILE ( F S E R R 5 2 )
/
Three types of errors can occur: warn, soft and hard. Warn errors do
not cause an EDIT/3000 command function to terminate; they are solely for
the user's information. Soft errors do cause the command to fail,
although EDIT/3000 operation does not terminate. Hard errors result in
termination of EDIT/3000 operation.
Table 5-1 contains a list of all error messages that can occur during
EDIT/3000 operation. The first column contains the error number. The
type of error (warn, soft or hard) is shown in the second column. The
error message is contained in the third column and the probable cause is
shown in the fourth column, The last column contains corrective action
information which will help you in initiating recovery procedures.
Each error that relates to an MPE/3000 file intrinsic is preceded by a
File Information Display. See the MPE Intrinsics Reference Manual for
descriptions of these displays. These types of errors contain the
MPE/3000 errorcode in parentheses after the error message.
