The online error message file

The online error message file contains records whose description is detailed below.

This file has the following physical characteristics:
Its records are constituted of the:
  1. Library code
  2. Entity type
  3. Instance code
  4. Error number
  5. Line number
  6. Error gravity
Example:
GCCHJIE0100054000ENON-NUMERIC CLASS DATA ELEMENT ACTION 
LU1IDO000116 002 009
Decoding this example::
  • Library code: GCC
  • Entity type: H
  • Instance code: JIE010
  • Error number: 0054
  • Line number: 000
  • Error gravity: E
  • Error message: NON-NUMERIC CLASS DATA ...
These are the possible values of each constituting element of the records:
Num. Position Meaning
1 3 Library code
2 1 Entity type:
  • A: For Data Structures or Segments (Batch error messages).
  • H: For Screens (online error messages).
  • I: Record reserved for internal use by the online function. It is used by the Help function to indicate the position of a field on a Screen, using a line / column formula.
3 6 Instance code
4 4 Error number:
  • Automatic errror message or explicit error message on a Data Element::

    The first three positions identify the rank of the Data Element causing the error, by the order in which it was defined on the Call of Elements (-CE) screen. (Example: the fifth Data Element defined)

    • 1 to 3: Rank of the Data Element which causes the error, by the order in which it was defined in the -CE Lines. (Example: the fifth Data Element defined)
    • 4: Error type
      • 2: invalid absence
      • 4: erroneous class
      • 5: erroneous value
      • 6, 7 ...: additional errors
  • Documentary message associated with an automatic error message or a manual error message on the Data Element:
    • 1 to 3: Rank of the Data Element which causes the error, by the order in which it was defined in the -CE Lines. (Example: the fifth Data Element defined)
    • 4 : Location of the documentary lines:
      • 0 : Documentation will be generated before the Data Element description lines.
      • 2 4 5 6 7 8 .. : Documentation will be generated after the error message of the indicated type.
    • Associated explicit and documentary messages:
      Number of the automatic explicit error message, or number of the explicit error message.
      Note: For a record with an I entity type, this number is automatically managed and contains the line number of the erroneous field on the Screen.
5 3 Line number:
This number is automatically managed:
  • 000: Error messages
  • 001-999: Documentary messages
Note: For a record with an I entity type, this number is automatically managed and contains the column number of the erroneous field on the Screen.
6 1 Error gravity:

An E standard error gravity is associated with each automatic or explicit error message.

A W standard error gravity is associated with each warning entered for an error message.

7 30 Error message - First part:
This part of the message indicates the error type for automatic error messages in the following manner:
  • 2: Invalid absence for the field
  • 4: Non-numerical class field
  • 5: Invalid value for the field

You can modify it.

For an explicit error message, this is the first part of the message indicated in the Description field on the -GE Lines (first 30 positions).
Note: For a record with an I entity type, this number is automatically managed and contains the position of the corresponding Data Element in the description of the Screen.
8 36 Error message - Second part:

For an automatic error message, this is the name of the Data Element as defined in the Repository.

For an explicit error message, this is the seond part of the message indicated in the Description field on the -GE Lines (position 31 to the end).
