Diagnostic Messages
SIR EDIT ERR c l
c indicates the cause of the error, and l represents the line number of the last image
retrieved from the input symbolic before the error occurred or before the change
statement in error.
TOO MANY SPECIFICATIONS
A processor call statement is too complex.
B.2. SIR$–Line-Change Diagnostics
When an error occurs, SIR$ passes a print control word in control register A0 back to the
calling processor. Normally the processor performs an ER PRINT$ to inform the caller of
the error. No other image is returned to the processor on an error return. The formats
of the error messages are:
Format 1
SIR EDIT ERR c l
Format 2
c l
where:
c
l
Indicates the cause of the error. Table B–1 lists the possible errors.
Is the line number of the last image retrieved from the input symbolic before the
error occurred or before the change statement in error.
Format 1 is returned when a partial-line-change editing statement is in error. Format 2 is
returned when a line-change or partial- line-change statement is in error.
SIR$ does not make assumptions as to the format of a changed line. Information in
fixed fields—for example, sequence numbers in columns 73 through 80—may be
destroyed when using partial-line-changes, especially formats 2 and 4.
