Command Error Messages
Messages issued as the result of command errors indicate that something
was wrong with a RJE/XL command (for example, the command was totally
unrecognizable or it contained syntax errors). A command error always
terminates a batch job. In an interactive session, after issuing the
error message, RJE/XL displays a # on your terminal to prompt you for the
next command.
Format of Command Error Messages
The formats of the command error messages are:
****COMMAND ERROR: x
****SYNTAX ERROR: y,z
x is a digit specifying the type of error, as follows:
* 0 = Invalid command. The command was unrecognizable.
* 1 = Command too long.
* 2 = Too many parameters.
y is a digit specifying the type of error, as follows:
* 0 = Invalid keyword.
* 1 = Duplicate keyword.
* 2 = Invalid command construction.
* 3 = Invalid parameter.
* 4 = Invalid numeric parameter.
* 5 = Required parameter missing.
z is an integer specifying the number of the erroneous parameter. For
example, 3 means that the third parameter is in error.
NOTE When issuing the ****SYNTAX ERROR: y,z error message, RJE/XL always
counts leading, but not trailing, nonkeyword parameters regardless
of whether they were supplied or omitted. This means that if one
or more of the nonkeyword parameters are omitted, the parameter
pointer z includes the omitted nonkeyword parameters and you must
adjust the pointer mentally in order to locate the erroneous
parameter. For example, if you supplied an RJOUT command which
does not contain the output file reference and count parameters,
the parameter pointer in a ****SYNTAX ERROR: y,z error message is
two greater than what you might otherwise expect. In such a case,
if the second supplied keyword parameter is in error, z would be
four instead of the expected two.
Probable Cause of Command Errors
You made an error in coding, keypunching, or entering the particular
command.
Recovery from Command Errors
For a batch job, correct the erroneous command and resubmit the job. In
an interactive session, enter the command again, correctly.
