Appendix A ERROR MESSAGES
Hi-Li Errors and Exceptions
See the returnpak parameter under "Common Parameters" for a description
of error and exception reporting mechanisms.
There are a number of cases where the error or exception code returned by
the Hi-Li intrinsics is an "umbrella" for errors returned by the
underlying facilities. These cases are indicated by the commercial 'at'
sign (@) to the right of the error or exception number. In these cases,
the message text returned in the `i`returnmsg`n` argument of the
returnpak parameter is generated by the underlying facility, and is more
specific than the corresponding text below. A cross-reference for these
cases follows the list below.
