Universal Message Translator
Overview
Universal Message Translator (UMET) translates error messages into return (exit) codes based on a user-defined translation table.
Every command ends with a return code that indicates the success or failure of the command execution. Typically, a return code of 0 indicates success; all other codes indicate failure.
However, a small number of commands do not set their return code under failure conditions; instead, they issue error messages. Based on the user-defined translation table, Universal Message Translator translates these error messages into return codes.
