# Hercules Version 3: System Messages: CU - CCKD Utilities

Messages issued by the cckd utility commands (cckdcdsk, cckdcomp and cckdswap) and cckd utility functions (cckd_chkdsk, cckd_comp and cckd_swap) are described here. The utility functions are called by both the utility commands and Hercules.

### Messages

Messages are in the format
HHCCU nnn t file message text
where nnn is the message number, t is either I, W or E, depending on the severity of the message. file will either be the part of the file name following the last slash (/ or \) when called by a utility command, or will be xxxx: file[n] where xxxx is the device number and n is the shadow file number when called by Hercules.

The file portion of the message is omitted below for brevity.

`HHCCU101I converting to endian-format`
  Meaning
    The file is in the wrong endian (byte order) format for the host architecture. The file is being converted to the host endian format endian-format.

`HHCCU620W space[id] hdr error offset offset: xxxxxxxxxx`
  Meaning
    A header error was found for space (trk or blkgrp) during validation. id is the trk or blkgrp number. The header is located at file offset offset. The contents of the 5 byte header is xxxxxxxxxx in hex.

    The first byte of the header should be either 00 (compress none), 01 (compress zlib) or 02 (compress bzip2).
    For ckd, the next two bytes is the cylinder (in big-endian byte order) and the two bytes after that is the head (also in big-endian byte order).
    For fba, the next four bytes is the block group number (in big-endian byte order).

    The header contains an invalid value. Either the offset is incorrect or the header has been overlaid.

  Action
    The space will be recovered
  Issued by
    cckdutil.c function cckd_comp
`HHCCU621W space[id] compressed using compression, not supported`
  Meaning
    During validation, the header for space (trk or blkgrp) indicates that the space was compressed using compression (zlib or bzip2) but support for that compression method was not built into Hercules. id is the trk or blkgrp number.
  Action
    Processing continues. However, no recovery will take place.
    Build Hercules with the specified compression library.
  Issued by
    cckdutil.c function cckd_comp
`HHCCU622W space[id] offset offset len length validation error`
  Meaning
    The space (trk or blkgrp) at offset offset and length length failed validation. id is the trk or blkgrp number. Either the space did not uncompress successfully or the uncompressed space contains some kind of error. This error is detected during check level 3 validation.
  Action
    The space will be recovered
  Issued by
    cckdutil.c function cckd_comp
