Appendix J  File Handler Utility Error Messages 

This appendix lists the error messages which may be displayed by the File
Handler utilities themselves and file specific error codes which may be
displayed for files.

In addition to these error messages, further information is shown
depending on the following types of problem:

   *   errors associated with records will show the record at fault

   *   errors associated with files will give either status variables
       (for relative, sequential or line sequential files) or an error
       number (for indexed files) as well as the file-name, as follows:

File Type    Error Number    Status 
                            Variables 

                          Status Status 
                            1      2 

---------------------------------------

indexed      iserrno      isstat1isstat2

relative     rlerrno      rlstat1rlstat2

sequential   sqerrno      sqstat1sqstat2

line         lserrno      lsstat1lsstat2
sequential

   *   errors associated with the operating system will show the
       operating system error variable, errno.  For more information
       consult your operating system documentation.

For general information on errors see the section Error Conditions in the
chapter File Handler Utilities.

Note that the fhvalidate utility gives various information messages, and
these are documented in the section Validation Information Messages in
the chapter File Handler Utilities earlier in this manual.
