Completion Codes

Returned by the Compiler

When the compiler compiles a source file, it completes the compilation normally or

stops abnormally. It then returns a process-completion code to the TACL product

indicating the status of the compilation. The process-completion code values are:

Code Termination Meaning

0 Normal The compiler found no errors or unsuppressed warnings in the source file.

(Warnings suppressed by the NOWARN directive do not count.) The object

file is complete and valid (unless a SYNTAX directive suppressed its

creation).

1 Normal The compiler found at least one unsuppressed warning. (Warnings

suppressed by the NOWARN directive do not count.) The object file is

complete and valid (unless a SYNTAX directive suppressed its creation).

2 Normal The compiler found at least one compilation error and did not create an

object file.

3 Abnormal The compiler exhausted an internal resource such as symbol table space or

could not access an external resource such as a file. The compiler did not

create an object file.

5 Abnormal The compiler discovered a logic error during internal consistency checking

or one of the compiler’s server processes terminated abnormally. The

compiler did not create an object file.

8 Normal The compiler could not use the object file name you specified, so it chose

the name reported in the summary. The object file is complete and valid.
