LABELRANGE, Uninitialized label subscript used.


Fatal: A label subscript is specified with a variable reference, but the variable is not initialized.
User Action: Correct the program's logic so that the variable has a valid value.

LINESIZE, Invalid LINESIZE specified.


Informational: The value specified in the LINESIZE option exceeds the implementation's limit of 32767 or the value is not a positive integer value.
User Action: Correct the LINESIZE option.

LINOVRFLO, Line number overflow.


Informational: The number of lines on a stream file page exceeds the implementation's limit of 32767.
User Action: Write an ON-unit using the VAXCONDITION or ANYCONDITION to handle the condition.

NAME, PL/I compiler/run-time error. Please submit an SPR.


Fatal: An error occurred in the execution of the PL/I compiler or a run-time module.
User Action: Gather as much information as possible about the circumstances under which the error occurred, and submit an SPR.

NOCURREC, No current record.


Informational: A DELETE or REWRITE statement was specified for a file opened with the UPDATE attribute, but the KEY option was not specified. These statements may omit the KEY option only if the current record contains a valid value.
User Action: Correct the statement in the source program and recompile.

NOFROM, No FROM specified or buffer not allocated.


Informational: A REWRITE statement was specified without the FROM option. The REWRITE statement is valid without the FROM option only if a previous READ statement on the file specified the SET option to allocate a buffer and set a pointer to the record read.
User Action: Correct the previous READ statement for the file so that it specifies the SET option, or correct the REWRITE statement so that it specifies the FROM option.

NOKEY, No KEY or KEYFROM specified.


Informational: A keyed I/O statement must specify a KEY or KEYFROM option.
User Action: Correct the statement and recompile the program. If you are attempting sequential access to a file, verify that you have also specified SEQUENTIAL in the file's attribute list.

NOSELECT, No WHEN clause selected and no OTHERWISE specified.


Fatal: It is possible to omit either the WHEN or OTHERWISE clause, but if no WHEN clause is selected, then an OTHERWISE clause must be present.
User Action: Include an OTHERWISE clause in the SELECT-group.

NOSHARE, SHARED_READ or SHARED_WRITE conflict with NO_SHARE.


Informational: The ENVIRONMENT options SHARED_READ and SHARED_WRITE permit read or write sharing on a file, but the NO_SHARE option prohibits all sharing.
User Action: Determine whether the file is to be accessed for sharing. If not, delete the option in error. If it is to be shared, delete the NO_SHARE option.

NOTIMPL, The image being run requires a more recent version of PLIRTL.


Fatal: This message is displayed when an image containing PL/I code is moved to a system with an older version of PLIRTL that does not support a function that is required to run the program.
User Action: Upgrade the system to the necessary level to run the program.

NOTINDEXED, Requested operation requires an INDEXED file.


Informational: A keyed I/O statement specifies an operation that is valid only for a file with indexed sequential file organization.
User Action: Determine from the information in the FILENAME message whether the operation was requested to the appropriate file. If the file is correctly specified but is not an indexed file, it may not have been properly created.

NOTINPUT, Attempting to GET from an OUTPUT or UPDATE file.


Informational: A GET statement is not valid on a file that is opened with the OUTPUT or UPDATE attributes.
User Action: Correct the file's attribute list.

NOTKEYD, Not a KEYED file.


Informational: A KEY or KEYFROM option was specified in a record I/O statement for a file that does not have the KEYED attribute.

NOTOUT, Attempting to PUT to an INPUT or UPDATE file.


Informational: The PUT statement is not valid for files that are opened with the INPUT or UPDATE attribute.
User Action: Correct the file's attribute list.

NOTPRINT, PAGE or LINE specified for non-PRINT file.


Informational: The PAGE and LINE options of the PUT statement are valid only for files that are opened with the PRINT attribute.
User Action: Verify that the file is a stream output file and, if so, add PRINT to the file's attribute list and recompile.

NOTREC, Not a RECORD file.


Informational: A record I/O statement (READ, WRITE, DELETE, or REWRITE) was specified for a file that has the STREAM attribute.
User Action: Correct the file's attribute list or use a stream I/O statement to process the file and recompile.

NOTRELSQL, Not a RELATIVE or SEQUENTIAL file


Fatal: The LOCK_NONEXISTENT record option may only be used with relative or sequential files.
User Action: Remove the LOCK_NONEXISTENT option or use a different file organization.

NOTSQL, Not a SEQUENTIAL file.


Informational: A sequential READ or WRITE statement was specified for a file that has the DIRECT attribute. The I/O statement must specify a KEY or KEYFROM option.
User Action: Decide whether the file was to be accessed sequentially or directly, and correct the I/O statement that caused the error.

NOTSTREAM, Stream I/O attempted on RECORD file.


Informational: A GET or PUT statement was used to process a file that has the RECORD attribute.
User Action: Correct the file's attribute list, remembering that certain file description attributes imply the RECORD attribute, and recompile the program.

NOTUPDATE, Attempting to REWRITE or DELETE an INPUT or OUTPUT file.


Informational: The REWRITE and DELETE statements are not valid for files that are opened with either the INPUT or OUTPUT attributes; the file must have the UPDATE attribute.
User Action: Correct the file's attribute list and recompile.

NOVIRMEM, Virtual memory overflow.


Informational: The run-time system attempted to allocate virtual memory for an I/O buffer in the program, but there was insufficient virtual memory available.
User Action: Simplify the source program so that it requires less space.

ONCNVPOS, The erroneous character is at position entity.


Informational: This message displays an up arrow below the character in error in the ONSOURCE message.
User Action: Use the information to correct the source field of the conversion.

ONSNOTMOD, ONSOURCE value not modified.


Informational: A normal return occurred from a CONVERSION condition, which would normally result in a retry of the conversion. However, the ONSOURCE value was not modified, so the ERROR condition was raised to prevent an infinite loop.
User Action: Change the ON unit handling the condition to modify the ONSOURCE value using either the ONSOURCE or ONCHAR pseudovariables.

ONSOURCE, The conversion source is entity.


Informational: This displays the source string.
User Action: None.

OPEN, Open failure.


Informational: An attempt was made to open a file implicitly by an I/O statement, but the file could not be opened. The UNDEFINEDFILE condition was signaled, but the ON-unit did not successfully open the file.
User Action: Write an ON-unit to handle the UNDEFINEDFILE condition for the given file to ensure that the file will be opened.

PAGESIZE, Invalid PAGESIZE specified.


Informational: The value specified in the PAGESIZE option exceeds the implementation's limit of 32767 or the value is not a positive integer.
User Action: Correct the value specified in the PAGESIZE option.

Informational: A record I/O statement may not specify the KEY or KEYFROM option and the RECORD_ID_FROM option at the same time.
User Action: Correct the statement.

RECORD, Record length does not match target length.


Informational: A fixed-length character string buffer is not the same length as a record being read by a READ statement, or an area is too small to hold the extent of an area being read into it.
User Action: Verify that the variable to which you are transferring data is the correct length for the records in the file. Correct the source program.

A.3 %DICTIONARY Error Messages

When an error occurs during use of the Common Data Dictionary (CDD), it is generated by one of the following:

Informational messages do not inhibit the production of an object file, but may indicate that your results might not be as you had anticipated.

Most error messages indicate that there is an error that cannot be corrected by the user. Therefore, it is requested that you submit an SPR to the CDD or to the product that created the record description.
