Resource utility message format and severity

Many of the messages contain variable data, such as file_name, which is shown in italics. Infoprint XT replaces the variable-data strings with specific information when it issues the messages. A vertical bar (|) between portions of message text, such as BLOCK | RECORD, means that Infoprint XT uses only one of the text strings when it issues the message. The error condition determines the text string that Infoprint XT uses.

The message identifiers use this format: 5017-nnn X (xxx). nnn is the 3-digit message number. (xxx) is the 3-character identifier that identifies the program module that issued the message. If you need to place a service call, the IBM service representative might ask you for the program module identifier. X is a letter that indicates the severity of the message:

I
Informational. Processing continues. This corresponds to return code 0. Infoprint XT processes the resource or resources successfully.
W
Warning. Processing continues. This corresponds to return code 4. The resource utility found a possible problem in the input resource. However, the resource or resources processed successfully.
E
Error. Processing continues. This corresponds to return code 8. An error caused Infoprint XT to complete a default action. Error messages issued when the resource utility is converting an FRM indicate that the AFP overlay generated by Infoprint XT and printed on an IPDS printer might or might not match the output of the same resource printed on a Xerox printer. Otherwise, an error prevented Infoprint XT from loading the resource.
S
Severe error. Infoprint XT processing stops. This corresponds to return code 12. An error prevented Infoprint XT from loading the resource.
U
Unrecoverable error. Infoprint XT processing stops. This corresponds to return code 16. An error prevented Infoprint XT from loading the resource or from generating AFP output for the job.
