Re: %STATUS Codes

Hi Michael,

If you look at the RPG Reference manual, "Chapter 5. File and Program
Exception/Errors", there is "Table 22. Exception/Error Codes".

Per the RPG Reference manual under "Chapter 22. Built-in Functions":

%STATUS (Return File or Program Status)
%STATUS{(file_name)}

%STATUS returns the most recent value set for the program or file status.
%STATUS is set whenever the program status or any file status changes,
usually when an error occurs.

If %STATUS is used without the optional file_name parameter, then it
returns the program or file status most recently changed. If a file is
specified, the value contained in the INFDS *STATUS field for the
specified file is returned. The INFDS does not have to be specified for
the file.

%STATUS starts with a return value of 00000 and is reset to 00000 before
any operation with an ?E? extender specified begins.

%STATUS is best checked immediately after an operation with the ?E?
extender or an error indicator specified, or at the beginning of an INFSR
or the *PSSR subroutine.

For more information, see ?File Operations? on page 416, ?Result
Operations? on page 429, or ?Built-in Functions? on page 394.


Hope this helps.

Does anyone have a list of the %STATUS codes in a file?
