Diagnostic Messages

This appendix lists all error messages that originate from the PA-RISC Assembler.

The Assembler error messages are divided into the following categories:

Warning Messages

Conditions that cause errors in

 

program execution.

Error Messages

Conditions that cause the Assembler

 

to terminate abnormally.

Panic Messages

Conditions that cause the Assembler

 

to abort immediately.

User Warnings

Conditions that cause the Assembler

 

to produce an object file and possibly

 

to take a specified corrective action.

Limit Errors

Conditions caused by running into

 

Assembler limits or running out of

 

memory.

Branching Errors

Conditions that prevent the

 

Assembler from creating an object

 

file.

Message descriptions use symbols in the form &<operand> to designate Assembler source elements that are the subject of the error. When a message is printed during the assembly operation, the &<operand> symbol is replaced by the appropriate source element.

The text for the Assembler messages is stored in a file with the path name:

/usr/lib/nls/msg/$LANG/as.cat

The default value for the localization environment variable LANG is C.
