The syntax for this command is as follows:

ERRORDIAG
ERRORDIAG +
ERRORDIAG -
ERRORDIAG BUILD +
ERRORDIAG BUILD -

This command causes a consolidated error diagnostic file to be created for any System or Report generate that fails (BLD/WFL errors or syntax errors). This is the default setting.

<sys>/DIAGNOSTIC/GENERRORS file is created for System generates.

<sys>/DIAGNOSTIC/GENERRORS/<requestor id> file is created for Report generates.

The created file contains the associated *BD files as well as the BLD and Generate job entries from the current Sumlog.

All <sys> diagnostic error files are removed at the start of a system generate when ERRORDIAG is enabled.

When set, BUILD lists all the units that are a part of this failed partial generate in the generate client log (the Application Builder generate log) and also the <sys>/ DIAGNOSTIC/GENERRORS file.

If the BUILD option is set, a partial generate is in progress and the generate system request is being actioned when the failure occurs, the Geninfo and Linccntl file contents are included in <sys>/DIAGNOSTIC/GENERRORS.

When no argument is supplied the current state is shown.

The Developer Builder might request the file be downloaded when the generate terminates; refer to Downloading Application Builder Error Logs for more information. You should provide this file as material for any problem report (UCF) involving Application Builder generates.

Refer to ERRORDIAG- for more information on resetting this option.
