Result

If the DBM command has been successful, an OK message is output in the following format:

OK[,<description>]

[<answer>]

The character string OK is the first token of the reply. There is an optional explanatory text on the same line.

The reply data is given on the following line. The structure of the reply data depends on the particular DBM command.

If a DBM command results in an error, an error message is output in the following format

ERR[,<description>]

[<err_code>,<err_description>

[<sub_code>,<sub_description>]

[<extended_description>]]

An error always starts with the character string ERR. The same line may also contain an optional description.

The next line can include the error message number (<err_code>) and a relevant text (<err_description>).

If the system has the error message number and relevant text of a subcomponent (for example, runtime environment or operating system), these are output as <sub_code> and <sub_description>.

Any additional information follows in the <extended_description>. Special cases in which the <extended description> has a structured format are described with the respective DBM commands. You will find an explanation of individual reply fields there.
