Re: How to tell a media error from an "object not found"

See "Program Status Data Structure". Match up the Exception id (aka message id) with what is available with the exception messages listed at the bottom of the help on the SAV command.

The only kicker is when you get a generic exception message like "save ended unsuccessfully" and you have to evaluate the stack further.

. . . which is what I'm afraid of. Then, too, I'm not entirely sure which of the messages listed in the command helptext is relevant.

I don't suppose anybody knows of a way to safely induce a media error on a QIC drive?
