Compiler Initialization
Messages
Initialization messages are unnumbered diagnostic messages that can appear during
compiler initialization. If the OUT file is available, the compiler sends the messages
there; otherwise, it sends them to the home terminal.
An initialization error terminates the compilation with a completion code of 3; that is,
the compiler could not access a file. No object file is created.
Initialization messages are:
CREATION OF TEMPORARY FILE FAILED
ILLEGAL INPUT DEVICE
LIST DEVICE NOT AVAILABLE
LIST FILE CANNOT BE AN EDIT FILE
OPEN OF INITIAL SOURCE FILE FAILED
OPEN OF TEMPORARY FILE FAILED
REWIND OF SOURCE FILE FAILED
Any of these self-explanatory messages can be followed by a line of the format:
FILE MANAGEMENT ERROR # error-number ON FILE : file-name
