what return code value of 256 from JVM signifies ?

843811Oct 13 2004 — edited Dec 2 2005
folks,

have a question regarding a returncode(256) of java method execDbLoader.

context :we are calling javaloader via perl.
when: we get this 256 return code when we try to load a single row into oracle table. more than one row is good. no problem.


usage :
in perl
......
$cmd = "java javaloader -u $user -p $pswd -s $server -t $table -i $datfile -n$reccount";
$returnval = system($cmd);
print $returnval ==> 256 what does 256 signify ?
.....

in javaloader.java
.....
private static int returnValue=0; // return value of JVM
.......
returnValue = execDbLoader(cmd);
System.exit(returnValue); => i believe this system call returns 256 to the perl code returnvalue. but we do not know what 256 means.


any help will be appreciated.

thanks
