7. RETURN CODES AND MESSAGES


VCC produces return codes or error messages for every error
it encounters.  It writes messages to the SYSPRINT, VCCSTATS,
VCCVTMSG, VCCVSMSG, or VCCHSMSG DDnames in the following
format:

VCCnnnns   message_text

or

VCCmmnns   message_text

where:

mm is a two-character value defining the VCC module that
issued the error message.  These values are:

   BC - VCCVBCS
   BL - VCCNTRL CSECT VCCBLDVT
   CN - VCCNTRL
   HS - VCCXHSM
   PS - VCCPARSE
   SC - VCCVSCAN
   VC - VCCVCNTL
   VS - VCCVVSAM
   VT - VCCVTOC

nn or nnnn  is the identifying number of the message.

s is the severity level of the message.  The values are:

  I  - Informational message
  W  - Warning message
  E  - Critical error message
  A  - Console operator action/response message

Definitions of the error messages are in Section 7.2.  They
are organized in alphabetical order (ignoring the severity
level character of the message identifier).
