an error was detected Explanation: An "error level" (-E-) error condition was detected by RDO and returned to DCL during the execution of an RDO statement. User Action: If possible, run the statement(s) again in interactive RDO and read any additional RDO error messages to determine what caused the error condition. Then fix the error. Remember, in a DCL command procedure containing RDO statements, use the $SEVERITY symbol to test for RDO$_ERRDET.
