SCF Error Messages for 
SNAX/APC
This appendix lists the SNAX/APC error messages, describes the probable cause of each 
error, and suggests an appropriate recovery action. 
Error messages for SNAX/APC can be generated at various interface levels. When a 
command is entered at the operator terminal, using the Subsystem Control Facility 
(SCF) or through a command file, the command takes the following route (if no errors 
are detected):
1. The command passes through SCF.
2. SCF passes the command to the SNAX/APC SCF interface.
3. The command usually passes to the Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) and 
the data communications interface, the Subsystem Control Point (SCP).
4. The command is passed to the SNAX/APC subsystem.
An error can occur anywhere along this route. If an error occurs, an error message is 
generated. This message appears in the SCF message log file, as specified by the SCF 
LOG command of the SCF RUN command, or at the home terminal of the SCF process.
In addition to the error messages listed in this section, event messages can also be 
generated by SNAX/APC.  Refer to Appendix E, Event Management
 for the applicable 
event messages.
Errors generated by SCF may be encountered during SNAX/APC operation; they have 
error numbers that begin at 20000. Refer to the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) 
Reference Manual for more information on SCF error messages.
In addition, SCF defines errors that are common to all subsystems. Refer to the next 
subsection for more information about these types of error messages.
An additional source of information about messages displayed at the operator’s console 
is the Operator Messages Manual.
Common Errors: 
-00001 Through -00999 and -32nnn Series
Common error messages can occur for SNAX/APC. Common error messages are 
reported through SCF and SCP, but each error message is preceded by the subsystem 
name. Therefore, when these messages are reported for the SNAX/APC process, they 
will have the prefix SNAXAPC. These error messages have a negative-value error 
number in the range of -00001 through -00999 and in the -32nnn series of numbers.  
Common error messages can be found in the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) 
Reference Manual (for errors E-00001 through E-00999) and the SPI Common 
Extensions Manual (for errors in the -32nnn series of numbers).
