Appendix A. Error Numbers and Messages
External interfaces to the language processor can generate three of the error messages either before the
language processor gains control or after control has left the language processor. Therefore, SIGNAL ON
SYNTAX cannot trap these errors. The error numbers involved are: 3 and 5 (if the initial requirements for
storage could not be met) and 26 (if on exit the returned string could not be converted to form a valid
return code). Error 4 can be trapped only by SIGNAL ON HALT or CALL ON HALT. Five errors the
language processor detects cannot be trapped by SIGNAL ON SYNTAX unless the label SYNTAX appears
earlier in the program than the clause with the error. These errors include: 6, 12, 13, 22, and 30. The
following is a list of the error codes and their associated CICS messages:

In these messages, the term “language processor” refers to the REXX/CICS interpreter.
In addition to the following error messages, the language processor issues this terminal (unrecoverable)
message:
CICREX255T Insufficient storage for Exec
interpreter
Explanation: There is insufficient storage for the
language processor to initialize itself.
