Message List
•
The file file-name is specified as the source file, but its attributes are
inappropriate for a source file (usually because the device type does support read
operations).
•
The file file-name is specified as a SEARCH file, but it is not a code 700 object
file.
•
The file file-name is specified as a SEARCH file, but it was not created by a
compilation with symbols specified.
•
The file file-name is specified as a COPY library, but its attributes are
inappropriate for a COPY file (file-name is not an EDIT file or has been
modified since the start of the current compilation).
•
The default COPY library named file-name in the command that called the
compiler has improper punctuation or its content does not have the form of a disk
file name.
•
The file file-name is specified as the compiler listing, but it’s attributes ar
inappropriate for a compiler listing (the device type does support write operations,
the record length is too short, the file is an EDIT file or a keyed-access disk file,
and so on).
4 (Failure)
Cause. The compiler cannot initialize the indicated EDIT file for reading. xxxx is the
type of compiler file (source or copy). file-name is the external form of the file
name. ddd is the error code describing the problem. A negative ddd value indicates a
format error in the file. A nonnegative value indicates a Guardian file management
error.
5 (Failure)
Cause. The compiler cannot read a record from the EDIT file indicated. xxxx is the
type of compiler file (source or copy). file-name is the external form of the file
name. ddd is the Guardian file management error code describing the problem.
6 (Failure)
Cause. The compiler cannot read a record from the file named file-name. xxxx is
the type of compiler file (source or work). file-name is the external form of the file
name. ddd is the file management error code that the operating environment returned.
OPEN edit failure on xxxx file (file-name): ddd
READ edit failure on xxxx file (file-name): ddd
READ failure on xxxx file (file-name): ddd
