Error Reports

In the event of an error occurring in the task, error reports will be displayed. For example:

    ICL> ADD
    Loading KAPPA_DIR:KAPPA into 0591KAPPA
    IN1 - First input NDF > !
    !! Null NDF structure specified for the IN1 parameter
    !  ADD: Error adding two NDF data structures
    ADAMERR   %PAR, Null parameter value

The first two messages are issued by the task. Such messages will usually indicate which ADAM subsystem or routine generated them by a prefix (ADD: in the example).

The message starting `ADAMERR' is issued by ICL on receiving a termination message containing a `bad' status. ADAMERR is the name of an ICL exception - the %PAR following ADAMERR tells us that the PAR subsystem within ADAM generated the bad status value.
