This is the general-purpose request cancelling message for <var class="product">[[SOUL]]</var> $functions, methods and statements. It is issued when such an operation detects an error at a point where it cannot simply return an error result — that is, outside of compilation and outside of expression evaluation — so the only available recovery is to cancel the request.


The first substituted value is the statement or function type in which the error was detected; it is blank if no statement type applies. The second is the specific description of what went wrong, supplied by the operation that detected the error. For example:

MSIR.1082: AddImage: Image name too long


Because the condition is not recoverable, the request is cancelled even if cancellation has been suppressed. If <var>[[MSGCTL parameter|MSGCTL]]</var> had been used to specify <var>NOCAN</var> for this message, message <var>[[MSIR.0885]]</var> is issued to report that the <var>NOCAN</var> setting was ignored.


Response: Correct the error reported in the second part of the message text. The accompanying text identifies the specific problem; the statement type shows where in the request to look.
