Error Message Format
Ingres error messages consist of a three-part error code and accompanying message text. The code segment has the format:
E_FCxxxx_msg message text
The message codes are as follows:
E_, I_, or W_
E_ (error message), I_(informational message), or W_ (warning message).
FC
Two-letter Facility Code, as described in Facility Codes.
xxxx
4-digit hexadecimal number that represents the value returned to the application for use in error handling. The 2-letter facility code combined with the 4-digit hexadecimal number uniquely identifies this error code.
_msg
“msg” is an abbreviated message text or decimal number. As a decimal, it is always equivalent in value to the preceding hexadecimal number.
