About the Extended Error Handling Facility

What Is the EEHF?

The Extended Error Handling Facility (EEHF) provides information to help you find and correct errors resulting from defective data. It prints a descriptive error message and additional information that helps identify where the defective data resides in the file and what that data is.

Phases When Messages Occur

Messages from EEHF occur during the CA Culprit input and output phases:

• Input phase errors occur when errors exist in the input data. For example, when an numeric input field contains alphanumeric data, an input phase error occurs.
• Output phase errors occur during the extract phase when CA Culprit reads the Extracted Items and Statistics file.
