Examples
The following is an example of a return code mapping file.
The line numbers in bold do not belong to the file, but are shown
for reference:
1. # This is an RC mapping file for joblog.
2.
3. “User * missing ” = 102
4. “\*\*\*” = 103
5. “User \
6. * \
7. missing” = 102
In this
example:
- Line 1 is a comment and is not used for mapping.
- Line 2 is blank and is ignored. All blanks preceding or following a pattern string are ignored, as well as those between the equals sign and the return code value.
- Line 3 matches every message starting with the string User and ending with the string missing.
- Line 4 matches every message starting with three asterisks (*) followed by a blank. When you use the asterisk in this way and not as a wildcard, you must escape it with a backslash.
- Lines 5 through 7 contain a pattern taking several lines. It matches the same messages as the pattern of line 3.
