The SCODEdata-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 SCODEvalues defined as HRESULTdata types.

Syntax 

ULONG SCODE;

Remarks

An SCODEvalue is contained in a single 32-bit ULONG variable. The following figure represents an SCODEvalue.

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.

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.

Code

The facility's status code

16

A code describing the error or warning. For example, ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND. See System Errors - Numerical Orderfor a listing of possible system error values.

Definitions for error and warning codes is contained in the winerror.hheader file.

On 32-bit platforms, the SCODEdata type is the same as the HRESULTdata type.

For more information on error and warning codes, see Error Values, and the Structure on MSDN.
