Understanding Error Messages

Messages provide an effective and usable method of communicating information to end-users. You can use simple messages or text substitution messages.

Text substitution messages provide specific information to the user. At runtime, the system replaces variables in the message with substitution values. Two types of text substitution messages exist:

• Error messages (glossary group E)

• Workflow messages (glossary group Y)

The return code from all JDB and JDE Cache APIs must be checked and an appropriate error message set, returned, or both to the calling function. The standard error messages for JDB and JDE Cache errors are shown in these tables.

The JDB errors are:

Error ID	Description
078D	Open Table Failed
078E	Close Table Failed
078F	Insert to Table Failed
078G	Delete from Table Failed
078H	Update to Table Failed
078I	Fetch from Table Failed
078J	Select from Table Failed
078K	Set Sequence of Table Failed
078S *	Initialization of Behavior Failed

* 078S does not use text substitution

The JDE Cache errors are:

Error ID	Description
078L	Initialization of Cache Failed
078M	Open Cursor Failed
078N	Fetch from Cache Failed
078O	Add to Cache Failed
078P	Update to Cache Failed
078Q	Delete from Cache Failed
