- OK, I've been doing other work for too long. I have a user who
- complained that backup produced the following diagnostics:
-
- %BACKUP-E-NOMSG, Message number 00A38012
-
- and
-
- %BACKUP-W-NOMSG, Message number 00A38410
-
- So I pumped the numbers through the DCL f$message lexical, and the
- messages are indeed exactly what the user reported. So, what is wrong
- (and what is *really* going on)?
-
- BACKUP's condition codes are in the indirect message section file SYSMGTMSG
- in SYS$MESSAGE, a fact you can discover either by experiment or by doing an
- ANALYZE/IMAGE on BACKUP.EXE.
-
- Thus:
-
- $ set message sys$message:sysmgtmsg
- $ err %x00A38012
- %BACKUP-E-OPENOUT, error opening !AS as output
- $ err %x00A38410
- %BACKUP-W-ACCONFLICT, !AS is open for write by another user
-
- (My "err" command simply displays the result of F$MESSAGE applied to its
- argument.)
