- MS-DOS versions 4 and 5 include an unusual mechanism for displaying
- errors from external DOS commands like XCOPY, FORMAT, or DISKCOPY.
- These commands use the command processor to retrieve their error
- messages; if the messages aren't found they display cryptic messages
- like "Parse error 3" or "Extended error 7". 4DOS does not currently
- support this mechanism, but will support it in the next release, due
- out later this summer. In most cases these errors are generated by
- simple typographical errors which are almost immediately obvious.
- If you see error messages like this while using MS-DOS 4 or 5 with
- 4DOS, and the cause isn't obvious, check the list of error codes below
- to interpret the message.
-
- The codes listed here apply only to MS-DOS 4 and 5 external programs
- like FORMAT, DEBUG, and DISKCOPY. You aren't likely to see them
- elsewhere. Also, only common error messages are handled using this
- mechanism; other messages which are specific to the program in
- question (for example, the message "Insert source disk in drive A:",
- used by DISKCOPY) are embedded within the program and will be
- displayed correctly even if COMMAND.COM is not present.
-
- DOS 4 and 5 external programs can report either "Extended" errors or
- "Parse" errors.
-
- Parse errors represent problems in parsing (analyzing) the command
- line. The possible parse errors are:
-
- 1 Too many parameters
- 2 Required parameter missing
- 3 Invalid switch
- 4 Invalid keyword
- 6 Parameter value not in allowed range
- 7 Parameter value not allowed
- 8 Parameter value not allowed
- 9 Parameter format not correct
- 10 Invalid parameter
- 11 Invalid parameter combination
-
- (Parse error 5 is not used; parse errors 7 and 8 are the same.)
-
- Extended errors represent file, disk, or device access problems.
- These include the familiar errors like "access denied" or "file not
- found". The extended error codes are:
-
- Standard DOS errors:
-
- 1 Bad function
- 2 File not found
- 3 Invalid path
- 4 Too many open files
- 5 Access denied
- 6 Invalid handle
