Suppose you'd tell us where you find ABORT to be message 4?  As a system
service status, SS$_ABORT is 44, not 4.  That means that any value from 40 to
47 is "%SYSTEM-x-ABORT, abort", where x is W for 40, S for 41, E for 42, I for
43, F for 44, and ? for 45-47.  Similarly, messages 1-7 are
"%SYSTEM-x-NORMAL, normal successful completion", while 0 is
"%NONAME-W-NOMSG, Message number 00000000".  Note:  The C RTL, in a fit of
accomodation to Unix, converts an exit status of zero to 1.

understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below).  So
unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my
organization responsible for it.  If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to
hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
