DOS 4.0+ internal - GET OR SET ERROR TABLE ADDRESSES

AX = 122Eh
DL = subfunction
00h get standard DOS error table (see #02614)

Return:
ES:DI -> error table

(DOS 4:
Errors 00h-12h,50h-5Bh)

(DOS 5:
Errors 00h-26h,4Fh,51h-59h) 01h set standard DOS error table ES:DI -> error table 02h get parameter error table (errors 00h-0Ah)

Return:
ES:DI -> error table 03h set parameter error table ES:DI -> error table 04h get critical/SHARE error table (errors 13h-2Bh)

Return:
ES:DI -> error table 05h set critical/SHARE error table ES:DI -> error table 06h get ??? error table

Return:
ES:DI -> error table or 0000h:0000h 07h set ??? error table ES:DI -> error table 08h get error message retriever (see #02615)

Return:
ES:DI -> FAR procedure to fetch error message 09h set ??? error table ES:DI -> error table

Notes: If the returned segment on a "get" is 0001h, then the offset specifies the offset of the error message table within COMMAND.COM, and the procedure returned by DL=08h should be called. DOS 5+ COMMAND.COM does not allow setting any of the addresses (calls with DL odd are ignored); they are always returned with segment 0001h. For DOS 5.0, the standard and critical/SHARE error tables are combined into a single error table

See Also: AX=0500h - INT 21/AH=59h/BX=0000h

Format of DOS 4.x error table: Offset Size Description (Table 02614) 00h BYTE FFh 01h 2 BYTEs 04h,00h (DOS version???) 03h BYTE number of error headers following 04h 2N WORDs table of all error headers for table Offset Size Description 00h WORD error message number 02h WORD offset of error message from start of header error messages are count byte followed by msg

Note: DOS 5 error tables consist of one word per error number; each word contains either the offset of a counted string or 0000h

(Table 02615) Call error retrieval function with:. AX = error number (see #02616). DI = offset of error table

Return:
ES:DI -> error message (counted string)

Notes: This function needs to access COMMAND.COM if the messages were not loaded into memory permanently with /MSG; the caller should assume that the returned message will be overwritten by the next call of the function. Supported by DR DOS 5.0

(Table 02616) Values for parameter errors: 01h Too many parameters 02h Required Parameter missing 03h Invalid switch 04h Invalid keyword 06h Parameter value not in allowed range 07h Parameter value not allowed 08h Parameter value not allowed 09h Parameter format not correct 0Ah Invalid parameter 0Bh Invalid parameter combination
