OpenVMS System Messages and Recovery Procedures Reference Manual

This document is the "OpenVMS System Messages and Recovery Procedures Reference Manual: A-L", intended for all users of the OpenVMS operating system, including programmers and system managers, for OpenVMS AXP Version 1.5 and OpenVMS VAX Version 6.0. It alphabetically lists and describes system messages that begin with the letters A through L. For each message, it provides an explanation and, where applicable, a suggested recovery procedure.

The manual is structured into two parts:

• Part I: Tutorial Information - This section explains the format of system messages (e.g., facility, severity, identification, text), how the system reports messages, methods for retrieving system messages (including condition codes), various exception conditions, and general recovery procedures for common error types such as command entry errors, unavailable resources, programming errors, and system software/hardware problems.
• Part II: Messages - This part contains the detailed, alphabetical listing of system messages from A to L.

This manual supersedes the "VMS System Messages and Recovery Procedures Reference Manual: Part I, Version 5.4".
