Spooler Programmer’s Guide
For messages that the CRE reports on behalf of routines that call it, the descriptions 
are less precise because the effect on your program and possible recovery actions are 
language and application dependent. For more information on errors that are reported 
by individual languages, refer to the language reference manual for the routine that 
caused the error.
Format of Messages in This Section
This subsection describes the format of the messages the CRE writes to the log file. 
Elements surrounded by square brackets (“[” and “]”) are not included in all messages.
process_name
identifies the process in which the error occurred.
nnn
is the CRE message number of the message described in this section.
message
is the text associated with message number nnn.
additional_information
if present, gives more detail about message. For example, if an error occurs when 
accessing a file, 
additional_information might be the file-system error 
number for the error that occurred.
optional_text
if present, provides additional information about the error. For example, it might 
show the FORTRAN unit number, or the state of a COBOL file: open, closed, and 
so forth. The 
optional_text helps you identify the cause of the error message.
top_of_stack
shows the name of the procedure that invoked the run-time library routine in which 
the error was detected, the offset within the procedure, and the number of the code 
segment in which the procedure’s code is located.
