Appendix A  Error Messages 

Reading Error Messages 

On HP-UX, error messages and their explanatory text are in the file named
/usr/lib/paserrs.  To list this file, use the command:

     cat usr/lib/paserrs

On MPE/iX, error messages and their explanatory text are in the file
named PASXLCAT.PUB.SYS. To list this file, use the command:

     :PRINT PASXLCAT.PUB.SYS

In reading the error messages, note that:

   *   A dollar sign ($) in the left margin indicates a comment line
       containing explanatory text.

   *   An exclamation mark (!)  indicates that an item is variable.  The
       compiler substitutes a specific item for the exclamation mark when
       it issues the message.

Example 

     043 THIS FEATURE REQUIRES $OS ! (043)
     $      1. This feature is not available under the current OS level
     060 OPERAND NOT OF TYPE BOOLEAN (060)
     $      1. A non-Boolean operand appears with the operator NOT, OR,
     $         or AND.

When the compiler issues error message 43, it will substitute an OS level
for the exclamation mark; for example:

        THIS FEATURE REQUIRES $OS 'HPUX'$
