Batch Compiler Execution and JCL › Compiler Reports and Messages › Error Messages

Error Messages

Error messages appear on a separate page at the end of the input statement listing. The batch compiler lists error messages in the following format:

STMT       SVRTY         ERROR       FOUND       MESSAGE
nnnn   severity-level   nnnnnn    found-text  message-text

The error messages provide the following information:

• STMT (nnnn) identifies the compiler-generated statement number for each line that contains an error.
• SVRTY (severity-level) identifies the severity level of the input error. The following severity levels can be returned:
  • W (warning)—Flags potential problems in the source code; the statement containing the error is processed. W-level messages provide information about potential problems and do not necessarily indicate errors.
  • E (error)—Identifies erroneous input; the statement containing the error has been rejected. The error must be corrected before the code can be compiled.
  • F (fatal)—Identifies errors that affect more than one map source statement. The error must be corrected before the code can be compiled.
• ERROR (nnnnnn) provides the 6-digit identifying number for the error message provided in the MESSAGE column described as follows.
• FOUND (found-text) identifies the erroneous portion of the given input line. Either of the following items are listed in this column:
  • The first eight characters of the parameter in error
  • A period (.) character to indicate that an end-of-statement error has occurred
• MESSAGE (message-text) specifies the nature of the problem encountered by the map compiler. For a detailed description of error codes and messages, see the CA IDMS Messages and Codes Guide.

The error message page of the compiler input-statement listing also specifies the number of coding errors encountered. The listed number does not necessarily represent the actual number of errors in the source code. For example, rejection of a PANEL, PFLD, MAP, or MFLD statement might cause the map compiler to reject subsequent correct statements simply because the proper currency has not been established. The following section was left out because the previous sample compiled without reports It should be inserted again.

Sample Report

A sample input-statement listing that contains diagnostic and error messages is provided in the following figure. The source for this example contains only three actual errors:

• The ATTRIBUTES specifications in line 10 are not enclosed in parentheses.
• The VALUE specification in line 17 is not enclosed in quotation marks.
• The MFLD statement in line 29 is missing the required AT specification.

The batch compiler returns 16 errors as a result of the actual errors in the sample compile.
