Displaying Error Messages With Error

When you are using the TACL program or a Guardian utility, you can receive file-

system error numbers at your terminal. You can use the Error program to display an

explanation of the error number.

Running Error

You run Error from the TACL program; the syntax is:

run-option

Any run option described under the RUN command in the TACL Reference Manual.

error-number

A file-system error number. If you enter an invalid error number, Error displays an

error message. If you specify -1, Error displays all error-number descriptions. To

stop displaying the list of all error-number descriptions, press the Break key and

enter STOP.

Error Examples

This example shows a FUP DUPLICATE command that generates file-system error 11:

FUP displays file-system error 11 and stops (the FUP process ID is 15,47). For an

explanation of this error, enter Error, a space, and the error number at your TACL

prompt:

Error displays the error description and returns control to the TACL program. From the

description, you can determine that OLDFILE is not a valid file. You can then correct

the file name and reexecute the FUP DUPLICATE command.

This example shows a file-system error generated by a TACL PURGE command:

ERROR [ / run-option / ] error-number

30> FUP DUP OLDFILE, NEWFILE

ERROR - $DISK2.COMPILES.OLDFILE: ERR 11

*ABEND*

ABENDED: 15,47

31> ERROR 11

0011 The file is not in the directory or the record is not in the file, or the

specified tape file is not on a labeled tape.

40> PURGE FILE89

$ACCTS.CUSTOMER.FILE89 File error 48
