Message parameters
In calls to the ADAM version of ERR_REP, the error message name
PARAM is a
globally unique identifier for the error message text which corresponds to
the message parameter of the error message.
The ADAM interface file can be used to associate this message parameter with
an error message, and only if this message parameter is not defined in the
interface file is the argument TEXT used in the error report.
When using EMS_REP (or the deprecated EMS_MLOAD) within the
ADAM environment software, no access to the ADAM interface file exists and so
the error message given by the argument TEXT is always used.
The use of a globally unique error message name is still recommended for
reported error messages to uniquely identify the error message text to the
programmer, using the convention outlined in
SUN/104.
