Fatal Errors

Fatal errors cause immediate termination of the compilation. These errors normally occur as the result of invalid options specified on the command line or when the compiler cannot access a specified file.

Fatal error messages conform to one of the following formats:

C166 FATAL-ERROR -
    ACTION: Action
    LINE: LineNumber
    ERROR: Message
C166 TERMINATED.

C166 FATAL-ERROR -
    ACTION: Action
    FILE: Filename
    ERROR: Message
C166 TERMINATED.

Where

Action	Is the operation that was being performed when the error occurred.
LineNumber	Is the line number where the error was detected.
Filename	Is the name of the file in which the error was detected.
