PL/1 Condition Codes

The following is a summary of all condition codes in numerical sequence.

3 This condition is raised if, in a SELECT group, no WHEN clause is selected and no OTHERWISE
clause is present.

4 SIGNAL FINISH, STOP, or EXIT statement executed.

9 SIGNAL ERROR statement executed.

10 SIGNAL NAME statement executed.

20 SIGNAL RECORD statement executed.

21 Record variable smaller than record size. Either:

The record is larger than the variable in a READ INTO statement; the remainder of the record is
lost.

The record length specified for a file with fixed-length records is larger than the variable in a
WRITE, REWRITE, or LOCATE statement; the remainder of the record is undefined. If the
variable is a varying-length string, RECORD is not raised if the SCALARVARYING option is
applied to the file.

22 Record variable larger than record size. Either:

The record length specified for a file with fixed-length records is smaller than the variable in a
EAD INTO statement; the remainder of the variable is undefined. If the variable is a varying-
length string, RECORD is not raised if the SCALARVARYING option is applied to the file.

The maximum record length is smaller than the variable in a WRITE, REWRITE, or LOCATE
statement. For WRITE or REWRITE, the remainder of the variable is lost; for LOCATE, the
variable is not transmitted.

The variable in a WRITE or REWRITE statement indicates a zero length; no transmission

occurs. If the variable is a varying-length string, RECORD is not raised if the
SCALARVARYING option is applied to the file.

23 Record variable length is either zero or too short to contain the embedded key.

The variable in a WRITE or REWRITE statement is too short to contain the data set embedded
key; no transmission occurs. (This case currently applies only to VSAM key-sequenced data sets.)

REGIONAL(1) data set, attempt to write into a region already containing a record.

53 Value of expression specified in KEYFROM option during sequential creation of INDEXED or

REGIONAL data set is less than value of previously specified key or region number.

54 Key conversion error, possibly due to region number not being numeric character.

sequential REWRITE[FROM] for an INDEXED or key-sequenced VSAM data set.

56 Attempt to access a record using a key that is outside the data set limits.
