<h1 class="topictitle1">Error code parameter format</h1>
<div><p>Most iSeries™ APIs
include an error code parameter to return error codes and exception data to
the application. The error code parameter can be one of two variable-length
structures, format ERRC0100 or format ERRC0200.</p>
<div class="section"><p>In format ERRC0100, one field in that structure is an INPUT field;
it controls whether an exception is returned to the application or the error
code structure is filled in with the exception information. When the bytes
provided field is greater than or equal to 8, the rest of the error code structure
is filled in with the OUTPUT exception information associated with the error.
When the bytes provided INPUT field is zero, all other fields are ignored
and an exception is returned.</p>
<p>Format ERRC0200 must be used if the API
caller wants convertible character (CCHAR) support. Format ERRC0200 contains
two INPUT fields. The first field, called the key field, must contain a -1
to use CCHAR support. When the bytes provided field is greater than or equal
to 12, the rest of the error code structure is filled in with the OUTPUT exception
information associated with the error. When the bytes provided INPUT field
is zero, all other fields are ignored and an exception is returned.</p>
<p>For
some APIs, the error code parameter is optional. If you do not code the optional
error code parameter, the API returns diagnostic and escape messages. If you
do code the optional error code parameter, the API returns only escape messages
or error codes; it never returns diagnostic messages.</p>
<p>The structure
of the error code parameter is as follows. The fields are described in detail
after the tables.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The error code structures for both formats are
provided in the QUSEC include file in the QSYSINC library. Includes exist
in the following source physical files: QRPGSRC, QRPGLESRC, QLBLSRC, QCBLLESRC,
and H.</div>
