The diagnostic listing generated by COBOL2000 provides information about all syntactical and semantic errors detected during the compilation.
The header line is followed by a subheading line which divides the listed diagnostic message lines into the following fields:
(1) | SOURCE SEQ NO | indicates the sequence number of the source line in which the error occurred. |
(2) | MSG INDEX | indicates the message identifier. |
(3) | SEVERITY CODE | indicates the error class (see table 37 in section "Messages of the COBOL2000 system"). |
(4) | ERROR MESSAGE | contains an explanatory text and, if applicable, the corrective action taken by COBOL2000 or a default value assumed by COBOL2000. |
The diagnostic listing is concluded by summary information on the total number of all detected errors and the total number of errors in the various severity classes.
