Note that this utility is defined as cdsa_error by CDSA$SYMBOLS.COM. The cdsa_error utility converts a CDSA numeric error code into its corresponding text strings. The text is output to SYS$OUTPUT.

SYNOPSIS 

cdsa_error base_flag error_code

OPTIONS 

base_flag The mathematical base in which the error code is represented:

-d Specifies that the numeric value of error_code is decimal (base 10).
-o Specifies that the numeric value of error_code is octal (base 8).
-h Specifies that the numeric value of error_code is hexadecimal (base 16).
If you specify something other than these options, you will get an error message that lists the correct options. (See Example 2.)
error_code The error code stated in the numerical base specified by the base-flag parameter.
