Common Return Codes
System Error
Appendix A 1193
System Error
If the verb does not execute because of an operating system error,
SNAplus2 returns the following parameters:
primary_rc AP_UNEXPECTED_SYSTEM_ERROR
An operating system call failed
during processing of the verb.
secondary_rc The secondary return code in this case is the return
code from the operating system call. For the meaning of
this return code, check the returned value in the file
errno.h on the computer where the error occurred.
Typically, the return code will indicate a condition such
as memory shortage.
If the verb was issued to change the target
configuration (such as DEFINE_* or DELETE_*), or to
perform an action (such as START_*), the application
should issue the appropriate QUERY_* verb to
determine whether the change or action succeeded. In
particular, if this error occurs while processing a
DEFINE_* or DELETE_* verb containing multiple
data structures(such as
DEFINE_EMULATOR_USER), the change can be
incomplete (for example, some but not all of the user's
sessions may have been defined).
