13.1 Purpose of This Chapter
Error messages are divided into three categories depending on the severity of the error.
• Warnings
• Errors
• Fatal errors
These messages are displayed during assembler and linker operations.
A warning message warns the user of some state and consists of the marker "Warning," the warning
number, and the text of the message. After displaying the warning message, the assembler or linker con-
tinues processing.
An error message notifies the user of an error and consists of the marker "Error," the error number, and
the text of the message.
A fatal error message notifies the user of a system error and consists of the marker "Fatal error," the error
number, and the text of the message. The assembler or linker aborts after displaying the message.
