/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb FORTRAN, Error Messages, Run Time Errors  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  Errors that occur during execution of your program are reported by
  diagnostic messages from the Run-Time Library.  These messages can
  result from hardware conditions, file system errors, errors
  detected by RMS, errors that occur during transfer of data between
  the program and an internal record, computations that cause
  overflow or underflow, incorrect calls to the Run-Time Library,
  problems in array descriptions, and conditions detected by the
  operating system.  Refer to the OpenVMS Run-Time Library Reference
  Manuals for more information.

  In order of greatest to least severity, the three classes of
  run-time diagnostic messages are as follows:

  Code    Description
  ----    -----------

   F      Severe error; must be corrected. The program
          cannot complete execution and is terminated when
          the error is encountered.

   E      Error; should be corrected.  The program may
          continue execution, but the output from this
          execution may be incorrect.

   W      Warning; should be investigated.  The program
          continues executing, but output from this execution
          may be incorrect.

  The following example shows how run-time messages are displayed:

     %FOR-F-ADJARRDIM, adjustable array dimension error

  In this Help file, the letter "C" after an error code indicates
  that program execution can continue immediately after the error if
  a user-written condition handler specifies that execution continue.
