Relationship of ILE Conditions to Operating System Messages

A message is associated with every condition that is raised in ILE. The condition token contains a unique ID that ILE uses to write a message associated with the condition to the message file.

The format of every runtime message is FFFxxxx:

FFF : The facility ID, a 3-character ID that is used by all messages generated under ILE and ILE languages. Refer to Table 1 for a list of IDs and corresponding facilities.

xxxx : The error message number. This is a hexadecimal number that identifies the error message associated with the condition.

Table 1 and Table 2 show how ILE condition severity maps to message severity.
