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 “Error Messages” 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.

   INSUFFICIENT SPACE IN

   [GROUP

    ACCOUNT]

USER DOES NOT HAVE SF CAPABILITY

The WORK file is temporary due to reason specified.Check your library of files; your disc space may be exceeded and you may need to purge some files to make space.
