PRINT-ERR

Processes and prints ERRMSG file format items.

Command Class

TCL-II command.

Syntax

PRINT-ERR file-name item-list {(options}

Syntax Elements

file-nameis the name of the file containing the error messages.

item-listis one or more item-ids separated by spaces, a list generated by a list-generating command, or an asterisk (*) to specify all items.

Options

B Break.  Forces a page break before each error message is printed.

I Input.  Prompts for input parameters to be used by the error message.

If this option is selected, the prompt PARAMETER  appears repeatedly until only a RETURN is entered in response. These input parameters override the default character ('~') when the error message is printed.

If fewer parameters are input than the error message needs, the undefined parameters default to the '~' character.

N No page. Suppresses automatic paging.

P Printer. Sends output to the printer.

Comments

Where parameters would normally be inserted into the error message, a tilde ('~') is substituted unless overridden with the I option.  If the P and I options are both selected, the item-id of the error message is displayed on the terminal before its parameters are requested.
