SCODE (Compact 7)
3/12/2014
The SCODE data-type is a 32-bit value that specifies a particular warning or error code.
Note
Like COM methods and functions, many MAPI functions and methods return SCODE values defined as HRESULT data types.
Syntax
ULONG SCODE;
Remarks
An SCODE value is contained in a single 32-bit ULONG variable.
The following table shows how to decode the information contained in an SCODE.
| Section | Description | Size in bits | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
Sev |
The severity code |
2 |
Specifies either success, or the kind of error. 00 - Success. 01 - Informational. 10 - Warning. 11 - Error. |
C |
The customer code flag |
1 |
0 - Is not a customer code. 1 - Is a customer code. |
R |
A reserved bit |
1 |
Ignore. |
Facility |
The facility code |
12 |
Specifies the software component that defines this error code. For example, FACILITY_STORAGE. EE - RTC interface codes. EF - SIP status codes. F0 - PINT status codes. |
Code |
The facility's status code |
16 |
A code that describes the error or warning; for example, ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND. See System Errors - Numerical Order for a list of possible system error values. |
Definitions for error and warning codes are contained in the winerror.h header file.
On 32-bit platforms, the SCODE data type is the same as the HRESULT data type.
For more information about error and warning codes, see Error Values and the Structure of COM Error Codes on MSDN.
