Error numbers and messages

Error codes and their associated CICS® messages are listed.

External interfaces to the language processor can generate three error messages either before the language processor gains control. or after control has left the language processor. Therefore, SIGNAL ON SYNTAX cannot trap the following errors:
  • 3 and 5 (if the initial requirements for storage could not be met)
  • 26 (if on exit the returned string could not be converted to form a valid return code)

Error 4 can be trapped only by SIGNAL ON HALT or CALL ON HALT.

The following five errors that the language processor detects cannot be trapped by SIGNAL ON SYNTAX unless the label SYNTAX appears earlier in the program than the clause with the error:
  • 6
  • 12
  • 13
  • 22
  • 30
