RPGLE Error Codes

[jsplice]

I've been receiving an error with a program I'm working on. It appears as the following:

598000 IF GatewayEdit='Y'
======>a
*RNF0257 30 a 598000 Form-Type entry for main procedure not valid or out of
sequence.
598100 WRITE CSTP093
======>a
*RNF0257 30 a 598100 Form-Type entry for main procedure not valid or out of
sequence.
598200 ENDIF
======>a
*RNF0257 30 a 598200 Form-Type entry for main procedure not valid or out of
sequence.
598300 C END

What exactly does this error mean, and is there a place on the web where I can get in-depth descriptions of errors?

jsplice,

You either need a C spec (like your last line) or you need a /FREE. I can't tell if this is free form or fixed code?!

Here is a link for all things iSeries:

For V5R2 anyway.

If you meant to write this in free format, you also need to put a semicolon at the end of the statements. Since you don't have that, I'm assuming you ment to write this in fixed format, in which case you need to put a C in position 7.

Me transmitte sursum, Caledoni!

Thanks for the link.

I did in fact miss the C spec--one of those stupid mistakes. I copied and pasted the code from another section and just forgot to add it.
