Process Error Feedback

Function:

This tool analyzes the compiler's error feedback file, and adds the messages to the Team Developer Error List view.

Parameters:

Parameter #	I/O	Type	Meaning
1 [M]	I	file	References the Error Feedback XML file created by a compiler or a tool that transforms the compiler output into the required XML format.

Error Feedback XML Format

The XML format interpreted by AMW is a subset of the standard XML format supported by the IBM Enterprise PL/I compiler's XML option.

The following shows the XML schema for the error feedback file:

        
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

The error feedback file contains the following tags:

XML tag	Description
PACKAGE	An encompassing tag for the file reference and message table.
FILEREFERENCETABLE	An encompassing tag which describes the files used during compiling.
MSGTABLE	An encompassing tag which describes the messages created during compiling.
FILECOUNT	Describes the number of files that were used during processing.
FILE	Describes an individual file that is used during compiling.
FILENUMBER	Describes the number assigned to the input file by the compiler.
FILENAME	The name of the file used during the processing. It is the name of the file that corresponds with the FILENUMBER tag.
MESSAGE	Describes a message that is produced by the compiler.
MSGNUMBER	Describes the message number of the message that was produced by the compiler.
MSGLINE	Describes the line in the input file that caused the compiler to produce the message.
MSGFILE	Describes the file number of the input file that caused the compiler to produce the message.
MSGTEXT	Rhe text of the message that is produced by the compiler.

Example for an Error Feedback XML file created in a distributed environment (for example in a Micro Focus Enterprise Server environment):

        
<PACKAGE>
<FILEREFERENCETABLE>
<FILECOUNT>01</FILECOUNT>
<FILE>
<FILENUMBER>01</FILENUMBER>
<FILENAME>c:\microfocus\esd\BANKPROD\Sources\cbl\ZBANKULP.CBL</FILENAME>
</FILE>
</FILEREFERENCETABLE>
<MSGTABLE>
<MESSAGE>
<MSGNUMBER>COBCH0071 S</MSGNUMBER>
<MSGLINE>12</MSGLINE>
<MSGFILE>01</MSGFILE>
<MSGTEXT>PROCEDURE DIVISION missing or unknown statement</MSGTEXT>
</MESSAGE>
</MSGTABLE>
</PACKAGE>

Example for an Error Feedback XML file created on z/OS:

        
<PACKAGE>
<FILEREFERENCETABLE>
<FILECOUNT>2</FILECOUNT>
<FILE>
<FILENUMBER>1</FILENUMBER>
<FILENAME>SCLM.DEV1.SOURCE(TESTUP3)</FILENAME>
</FILE>
<FILE>
<FILENUMBER>2</FILENUMBER>
<FILENAME>SCLM.DEV1.SOURCE(TESTCPY1)</FILENAME>
</FILE>
</FILEREFERENCETABLE>
<MSGTABLE>
<MESSAGE>
<MSGNUMBER>IGYGR1080 S</MSGNUMBER>
<MSGLINE>2</MSGLINE>
<MSGFILE>2</MSGFILE>
<MSGTEXT>A &quot;VALUE&quot; clause literal was not compatible with the data category of the subject data item.
The &quot;VALUE&quot; clause was discarded.</MSGTEXT>
</MESSAGE>
<MESSAGE>
<MSGNUMBER>IGYPS0037 S</MSGNUMBER>
<MSGLINE>27</MSGLINE>
<MSGFILE>1</MSGFILE>
<MSGTEXT>&quot;ERG&quot; was not a uniquely defined name.  The definition to be used could not be determined from the context.  
The reference to the name was discarded.</MSGTEXT>
</MESSAGE>
</MSGTABLE>
