Loader Errors

Under Windows NT family operating systems loader errors may be written to the Application Event Log (but only if DP4 is run as a service), and the Event Log may contain considerably more information than is displayed on screen. However you may need to use DP4 error logging to find out more about the error.

Loader Error codes are normally only reported by SRVW32.EXE, though it is in theory possible for some of them to be generated by other programs, because they are mostly generated inside DLLs such as SYSLIBT.DLL that are used by almost all DP4 programs. Error codes reported by Windows as "Service Specific Errors" when you start and stop the DP4 service from the control panel or using net start are this type of error.

The error messages associated with loader errors are stored in the DP4 configuration file in the [errmsg] like this:

errmsg_10=Internal error: too many levels of error return nesting
errmsg_11=Internal error: too many exit functions registered
errmsg_21=Config error: configuration file not found

errmsg_40=Server error: loader not running

errmsg_87=Problem: No server for applications loaded (check [startup])

Other messages of this type existed in older versions of DP4, but were seldom if ever encountered. If you encounter an error of this type not listed here it will be listed as Loader Error number retcode number. If this happens please contact Itim Technology Solutions for further information.
