ERR Error Codes

The ERR errors are returned to the err parameter of PTOP, RFA, and certain utility calls. They may also be returned in the A and Bregisters after a DEXEC call, or to the current log device through REMAT. REMAT displays all numeric error codes that it receives by using the utility subroutine DSERR. (DSERR is explained in the •Utilities" section of the NSARPA/1000 DS/1000IV Compatible Services Reference Manual.)

If the noabort option is set when an error occurs in programs calling DEXEC or certain utilities, ASCII error codes are also returned in the A and Bregisters. If the noabort option is not set, the message will be printed on the initiating terminal and the program will abort. NSARPA/1000 system programs receiving these error codes generally display them on the initiator's terminal or log device.
