Interpreting Diagnostic Messages

The format for Open PL/I compilation diagnostic messages is as follows:

filename (line, col)  :  diagnostic level  MFPLI + diagnostic number + first letter of the diagnostic level :  diagnostic message
filename
The name of the file that caused the diagnostic message.
(line, col)
Line number and column number. If the column number is 0, the column is not available.
diagnostic level
There are five diagnostic levels: Info, Warning, Error, Severe and Abort.
MFPLI + diagnostic number + first letter of the diagnostic level
This consists of "MFPLI", the diagnostic number and the first letter of the diagnostic level (Info - "I", Warning - "W", Error - "E", Severe - "S" and Abort - "A").
diagnostic message
A brief statement of the diagnostic.

Example

hex2.pl1 (10,0) : Severe MFPLI01253S : The first argument of the HEX built-in function must be a variable reference.
Note: An object file is not generated if an error at the Severe or Abort level is encountered.
