CIB merge technical documentation (EN)

12. Annex

12.2. Program return values

The following list gives an overview of possible error returns by CIB merge. There are interfaces for application developers CoMod to query the text of an error number directly and to help the end user with concrete hints.

With version 3.11 of CIB merge the return values have been changed. Essentially they have been moved from the range 0-20 to the new range 800-820. In the future, the error numbers 800-850 are reserved for CIB merge.

To look up the error numbers of older CIB merge versions, please add 800 to the amount of the last two digits. Examples: 4 -> 804, 302 -> 802.

The error numbers have the following meaning:

Return value	Description
-1	The mixing job was cancelled by the user. Cause: In the percentage display the "Cancel" button was pressed or the ESC key was triggered.
0	Everything OK.
801	invalid parameter identification parameters without parameter identification no input file specified for document syntax: -wHWND;WINID compressed output only possible with files (not with standard input and output)
802	file is corrupt
803	file not found file already exists file is used by another process read access to file not allowed write access to file not allowed FD/HD memory is full access to file not allowed Has to do with file accesses: Experience from the support: 1) On explicit request, merge already writes a temporary file. A non-existing TEMP directory is set by patch or environment. More concrete: Environment variable CIB_MRGINTERMEDIATE or patch at the position g_pszIntermediate[]= "\0INTERMEDIATE". You can also specify such an intermediate file by call parameters: --INTERMEDIATE=C:\TEMP\intermediate.rtf --INTERMEDIATEFILE=C:\TEMP\intermediate.rtf --ZWISCHENDATEI=C:\TEMP\intermediate.rtf --ZWISCHENERGEBNIS=C:\TEMP\intermediate.rtf
804	file not found syntax error when determining a data source file is not positionable file is default input/output device no file name specified
805	message of the parser for time values ... message of the scanner/parser for printout field ... no database access object created
807	parameter does not exist anymore parameter lost
808	corrupt RTF formatting wrong control worlds
