<div><p>This sample program shows exceptions being returned
in the error code parameter.</p>
<div class="section"><div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Read the <a href="codedisclaimer.htm">Code license and disclaimer information</a> for important
legal information.</div>
<p>In the Example in OPM RPG: Retrieving the HOLD
parameter (exception message), QUSBNB was set to a value of binary zero to
tell the API to send exceptions (escape messages) for any error conditions.
The example in this topic uses an error-code data structure as an alternative
to receiving exceptions.</p>
<p>Some languages do not support the use of exceptions,
so you may prefer to code for errors using error code structures.</p>
<p>In
your programs, you can use error code structures in the following ways:</p>
<ul><li>Define an 8-byte error code structure that provides feedback on whether
an error occurred. If an error does occur, you are not able to determine the
specifics of the problem.</li>
<li>Define a 16-byte error code structure that allows you to determine if
an error exists and to access the exception message ID. The exception message
IDs are the same as shown in Error messages.</li>
<li>Define a larger than 16-byte error code structure that provides the same
information as described in the previous two error code structures as well
as some or all of the exception data. The exception data is the message data
that is sent with the exception message. Because the vast majority of exception
messages do not have more than 512 bytes of message data, a 600-byte error
code structure would be adequate for almost all cases.</li>
</ul>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Lengths of 1 through 7 bytes are not valid for the error code structure.</div>

<p>The error code structure can be found in the QSYSINC library in
the member QUSEC, as shown at <a href="#cmnRetrieveRPG__SPTELEVEN">(1)</a>.
Which of the files you use depends on the language. For more information on
the QSYSINC library, see Include files and the QSYSINC Library.</p>
<p>The
bytes provided field describes the size of the error code structure that you
declared in your program and how you want errors returned. (This was set to
0 as shown by <span class="uicontrol">(6)</span> in Example in OPM RPG: Retrieving
the HOLD parameter (exception message).)</p>
<p>The bytes available field describes
how many bytes the API could have passed back. If this field is zero, no exception
occurred. The correct method for testing if an error occurred when using a
nonzero-bytes-provided value is to check this field for a value greater than
zero, as shown at <a href="#cmnRetrieveRPG__SPTTEN">(2)</a>.</p>
<p>The
exception ID is the normal 7-character message ID, such as CPF9801, that occurs
for an object-not-found condition. Do not test this field to determine if
an error exists. The field is properly set by the system only if the number
of bytes available is greater than 0. Similarly, the exception data (message
data) information is not set properly unless an error exists; for example,
any information left from a prior call is not changed.</p>
<p>The following
program is the same as the previous program except that a 16-byte error code
structure is used:</p>

<p>The QUSBN error-code data structure is defined in the include
file QUSEC, as shown at <a href="#cmnRetrieveRPG__SPTELEVEN">(1)</a>,
and the program initializes the bytes provided field (QUSBNB) with a value
of 16, as shown at <a href="#cmnRetrieveRPG__SPTTWELVE">(3)</a>. This
sets the first field of the error code structure to tell the API not to send
an exception but to use the first 16 bytes of the QUSBN parameter to return
the error information. After the CALL to the API, the program accesses the
bytes available (QUSBNC), as shown at <a href="#cmnRetrieveRPG__SPTTEN">(2)</a>.
This contains the number of bytes of information about the error condition.
The program is coded so that it tests if the number exceeds zero. This is
the correct method of determining whether an error has occurred.</p>
<p>If
an error occurred, you may want to handle the error in many different methods.
The program shown extracts the specific error message ID that occurred and
sends the 7-character value as a message. The QUSBN parameter is used for
both input and output (see <a href="#cmnRetrieveRPG__HDRFORMEC">Format of
an error code structure</a>). The first 4 bytes are input to the API to
tell it how to handle exceptions. The remaining bytes are output from the
API about any exception conditions.</p>
<p>To see the value of the HOLD attribute,
use the following call statement to run the program against the QBATCH job
description in library QGPL:</p>
<pre>CALL JOBDAPI (QBATCH QGPL)</pre>
<p>You
should see that the value of the HOLD attribute is *NO:</p>

<p>The value placed in the QUSBNG variable <a href="#cmnRetrieveRPG__sixteen">(4)</a> is
the message data associated with the message ID that is identified as the
exception. The message data follows the same format as if you had entered
a Receive Message (RCVMSG) command and requested the message data (MSGDTA)
parameter. You can use the Display Message Description (DSPMSGD) command to
determine the layout of the message data for a particular message ID. When
you handle exceptions, the only information provided is the exception ID and
the message data associated with the exception. You cannot receive a diagnostic
message (if one were sent in addition to the escape message) in the error-code
data structure. You can use the message handling APIs to receive messages
from your program message queue and to access the other messages that may
be issued from the API.</p>
<p>When you instruct the API to return all errors
in the error-code data structure, the escape message does not appear in the
job log. The escape message not appearing in the job log is one of the major
differences between letting the API return errors in an error-code data structure
and letting the API send escape messages. For the error-code data structure,
the escape messages have been removed from the job log by the API. If a diagnostic
message is sent first, the diagnostic message exists in the job log and can
be received.</p>
