On version CA-EASYTRIEVE PLUS-6.4 0311 just learning to use this product to report on data such as DCollect, I have the Application guide and Reference guide but I don't see any documenation of easytrieve errors.

I have been on CA's website and searching through Google but still havent found documentation on all easytrieve errors.

If someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it, if you need more info let me know.

Thanks

Have you looked at the Table of Contents of the Reference Guide? Appendix A?

That was a good place to look thanks! Another question if I may, A014 error... I'm sure it has meaning to those who have seen it many times but what kind of previous error would impact the current run?

A014 PREMATURE TERMINATION DUE TO PREVIOUS ERROR(S)

This message indicates that some previously identified error has caused a
termination of the CA-Easytrieve/Plus execution.

Any previous error DURING THE CURRENT RUN could cause the A014. An error from a different execution, however, will not have any impact upon the current program. "Previous" in this case refers only to errors listed earlier in the output, not to other runs of the program.

The A014 is a general "the program failed" message. Gives you something to search for to get to the quickly to the messages you know are then when you get a non-zero RC. I think I've seen it on its own before when there was an "abend" which Easytrieve was unable to trap (as it was not in the Easytrieve code, but some supporting code).

Thank you I finally realized the formatting of the error messages and found the issue. Thank you both, RIckey
