<div class="section" id="pgmerr_errorco__error_correct"><a name="pgmerr_errorco__error_correct"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example of incorrect coding: Use the error
code parameter</h4><p>The common error shown in the following example is
the use of the error code structure to indicate to the API not to send exception
messages for errors found. Additionally, the example does not examine the
error code structure to determine if the API call was successful or not. To
demonstrate the improper use of the error code structure, an incorrect value
is used on the replace parameter of the QUSCRTUS API. The replace parameter
is a required parameter. The coded error (*XXXXXXX) is shown at location <a href="#pgmerr_errorco__SPTRK2A">(1)</a> in the incorrect and also at location <a href="#pgmerr_errorco__SPTRK2B">(2)</a> in the correct coding.</p>
<p>Both
the incorrect <a href="#pgmerr_errorco__SPTRK1A">(3)</a> and correct
coding <a href="#pgmerr_errorco__SPTRK1B">(4)</a> show the program monitoring
for any error from the call to the API. However, the program does not examine
the bytes available field after calling the QUSCRTUS API.</p>
<p>Because of
the error on the replace parameter, the requested user space is not created.
The calling program, however, is not aware of this as shown at <a href="#pgmerr_errorco__SPTRK3A">(5)</a>.</p>

to monitor error information passed back in the error code parameter (QUSBN).
The code at <a href="#pgmerr_errorco__SPTRK4B">(6)</a> has been added
to check the error code parameter for any messages and to display the exception
identifier to the user if any errors are found. The incorrectly coded program
does no checking for the error code parameter, as shown at <a href="#pgmerr_errorco__SPTRK3A">(5)</a>.</p>
