Syncsort Message Utility, syncmsg - Connect_ETL - 9.13

The Syncsort command line message utility, syncmsg, provides detailed information on exceptions that may be encountered when running Precisely products. Information is either displayed on standard output for a single specified exception or written to a file for all exceptions.

syncmsg <mnemonic>
syncmsg <number>
syncmsg /LIST [<file_name>]
syncmsg /HELP

where:

• <mnemonic> is the exception mnemonic appearing in parentheses preceding the text of a message, for example, DFNF
• <number> is the exception number returned in the external variable errno from an invoked sort, for example, 1413
• <file_name> is the pathname of a file to receive the full listing of information on all exceptions

When you enter a mnemonic or number, the associated message is displayed along with a detailed explanation, and, in some cases, an action to correct the condition that caused the problem.

When you enter the /LIST argument, an alphabetical list of all messages, along with their associated explanations and actions, is written to the file syncmsg.lis, or to the file you specify.

When you enter the /HELP argument, the usage information shown here is displayed.
