8 SAS/C Runtime Library Messages

The SequeLink Server and SequeLink Manager on z/OS use the SAS/C^® run-time library. The SAS/C^® run-time library generates messages for unusual conditions detected during program execution. These messages are written to the SYSTERM output of the SequeLink Server Job.

With SequeLink Manager, these messages are normally written to the terminal.

SAS/C run-time library diagnostic messages have the form
LSCX[num] **** [severity] **** ERRNO = [errno value] 
     Generated in [function] called from line [num] of  
             [function],offset [hex] 
     [C++/Extended] name: [fullname] 
     [message text] 
     Interrupted while: [context] 
where severity is one of the following:

NOTE describes a condition that permits program execution to continue, but which is not communicated to the caller of the routine; ERRNO is usually not set.

WARNING describes a condition that permits program execution to continue; however, the routine that detected the condition returns an error indication to its caller. When a library WARNING is issued, the ERRNO variable is set. Usually an error code is returned from the function that detected the condition. Most library messages are WARNINGs.

ERROR describes a condition that forces program termination, usually with an ABEND.

For an explanation of LSCX messages, refer to your SAS/C documentation, available at http://www.sas.com/service/library/onlinedoc/sasc/doc/diag/sascdmv1.htm.
