Using OPS/REXX › Compiler Error Messages

Compiler Error Messages

When the OPS/REXX compiler finds syntax errors in an OPS/REXX program or an AOF rule, the compiler generates a numbered error message. Because OPS/REXX is an implementation of standard REXX, you can find descriptions of these messages in Section 17, “Error Numbers And Messages,” of The REXX Language: A Practical Approach to Programming by M.F. Cowlishaw. In addition to the error codes listed there, OPS/REXX defines the following error codes:

• 91 - INVALID OR MISPLACED OPTIONS STATEMENT

  The keywords specified in the OPTIONS statement contain an error.

• 93 - GLOBAL VARIABLE WORKSPACE OVERFLOW (size)

  The maximum amount of storage reserved for global variables (the value set by the GLOBALMAX parameter) was exceeded.

• 94 - OVER seconds SECONDS USED FOR EXECUTION

  The program exceeded the maximum execution time for AOF rules (set through the AOFMAXTIME parameter) or REXX programs (set through the REXXMAXTIME parameter).

• 95 - OVER count HOST COMMANDS ISSUED

  The program issued the maximum number of host commands for AOF rules or REXX programs. For more information, see the descriptions of the AOFMAXCOMMANDS and REXXMAXCOMMANDS parameters in this chapter.

• 96 - OVER count “SAY” CLAUSES EXECUTED

  The program executed the maximum allowed SAY instructions for AOF rules or REXX programs. For more information, see the descriptions of the AOFMAXSAYS and REXXMAXSAYS parameters in this chapter.

• 97 - OVER count CLAUSES EXECUTED

  The program executed the maximum allowed number of clauses for AOF rules or REXX programs. For more information, see the descriptions of the AOFMAXCLAUSES and REXXMAXCLAUSES in this chapter.

The OPTIONS statement for an OPS/REXX program can also generate error codes 94 through 97.

Note: For descriptions of the parameters listed above, see the Parameter Reference.
