Description of a fault record
There are four types of errors that generate a fault report:
• software errors detected by a software module
• software errors detected by the operating system
• errors detected in a file in a hard disk RAM directory
• hardware errors detected on a card or a peripheral terminal
Each of these types of errors produces a different format of error. These formats are described in
the following sections.
• Software errors detected by a software module
This type of error can only be used by software development personnel. The information it
contains indicates an error on an item of data received by a program or an incorrect status
detected in a program.
*ERR 0201*PCS 0*LC
50454*PCD 000*IND 01
02 0E 02 00 00 00 00 00
Each item of information has a meaning:
• Software errors detected by the operating system
This type of error has two parts: the error code and additional error information. The error
code is the four-digit number that immediately follows the identifier
ERROR.
***ERROR:0214
04 80 00 01 00 02 00 03 00 04.....
For a description of the error codes, refer to Appendix C. The additional information provided
will vary depending on the error code.
ERR
Error number of the fault. See Appendix C for the meaning of each number.
PCS
Processor number.
0 indicates the CPU card and a number from 1 to 16 indicates a daughter card.
LC
Identification number of the program that detected the fault.
PCD
Software procedure number.
ND
Index used to identify the location of the instruction in the program.
Any additional fault-related information, displayed in a byte string, is listed after the Index code
.
