Version 8.2.3

Nucleus Response Codes

After each Adabas command is processed, a response code is returned in bytes 11 and 12 of the ACB or in the ACBX. Some response codes also return a subcode in the rightmost two bytes of the ACB's Additions 2 field (offset 45-48) or in the ACBX's Error Subcode (ACBXERRC) field (offset 115-116). This section describes those response codes and subcodes.

Note:
Proprietary functions of Adabas may also return response codes and subcodes, some of which are not described here. Refer to the documentation for those functions for more information.

Response code 0 indicates that the Adabas command was processed successfully; any other response code is returned as a result of an error during command processing.

All Adabas commands resulting in a response code other than 0, 1, and 145 restore all Adabas control block fields except the response code field (see the Adabas Command Reference documentation) to the contents the fields held at the beginning of command execution.

For internal errors, contact your Adabas technical support representative.

Response 0
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

The command was executed successfully.


Response 1
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

The meaning of this response code varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.

Mainframe Systems

Depending on the subcode in the rightmost two bytes of the ACB's Additions 2 field or the ACBX's Error Subcode (ACBXERRC) field, one of the following has occurred:

Subcode Meaning
1 An online SAVE operation cannot be executed without the nucleus' PLOG.
2 The selected record is not allowed.
3 S2 command did not have enough space.
4 S2/S9 internal program error.
5 System was not in save status at the end of an online ADASAV.

Note:
When one of the subcodes 2-4 is present, the cause could be an Sx command using security-by-value that found at least one ISN.

Open Systems

An ISN list could not be sorted as a result of an excessive number of resulting ISNs, or because during a non-descriptor search a value larger than the corresponding field length in the FDT was found, or because the ISN quantity returned does not correspond with the actual number of records found.

For an S9 command, this response indicates that there is no space available for additional temporary working space. For an S2 command, this response is only a warning and the S2 becomes an S1.

Action

The method of resolving the error varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.

Mainframe Systems

Increase the ADARUN LS parameter value.

Open Systems

Provide sufficient disk space for temporary working space or adapt the FDT to the real field length.


Response 2
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

The meaning of this response code varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.

Mainframe Systems

This response code can only occur with a BT or ET command. The BT or ET command executes successfully. One of the following has occurred, depending on the subcode:

Subcode Meaning
1 Adabas attempted to hold an ISN already being held by another user.
2 The number of ISNs as specified in the ISN buffer was too large compared to the ISN buffer length (ET or BT command with the M option).
4 ISN is not on hold during multifetch ET/BT. ET/BT has successfully executed the ISNs so far released. The remaining ISNs are still on hold.
5 An RI command with ISN=0 could not release from hold status all records held by the user, as requested, because one or more records had been updated earlier in the same transaction. Updated records cannot be released from hold status prior to transaction end. All records that had not been updated have been released from hold status.

Open Systems

The required function has not been executed completely. For an OP command with command option 2 = E or for an RE command, the specified record buffer length was shorter than the length of the ET data read. The record buffer has been truncated.

For an A1//N1/N2 command, a descriptor value with the TR option is larger than 1144 bytes. In this case, only the first 1144 bytes are stored in the index. Search operations for truncated values may be inexact since only the first 1144 bytes are evaluated. The first 2 bytes of the Additions 2 field contain the number of descriptor values truncated, the third and fourth bytes contain the field name of the descriptor value that is truncated.

For an S1/S2/S4/S9 command, the resulting ISN list may not represent the exact result: this is because the search values and the values in the database were truncated after 1144 bytes during the search operation of an S1/S2/S4 command and during the sort operation of an S2/S9 command.

Action

The method of resolving the error varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.

Open Systems

For an OP or RE command, increase the record buffer length or ignore the warning.

For an S1/S2/S4/S9 command, either perform a post-selection using the complete field values, perform your own sort operation using the complete field values, or ignore the warning.


Response 3
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

One of the following has occurred:

  • An end-of-file or end-of-list condition was detected.

  • A program tried to read/change a multiclient file's record using either a blank or incorrect-length owner ID, or an owner ID that is not allowed for the record.

  • Subcode 4: End of LOB value reached. An attempt was made to read a LOB value segment that begins after the end of the value. This response code/subcode is given to an L1/L4 command with Command Option 2 set to L if the ISN Lower Limit value is greater than or equal to the length of the LOB value being read.


Response 4
Origin Mainframe systems
Explanation

The internal Adabas TRS storage directory is full.

Action

Free some of the active queries.


Response 7
Origin Mainframe systems only
Explanation

A complex search command was rejected because it was estimated that it would exceed the maximum search time TLSCMD.


Response 8
Origin Mainframe systems only
Explanation

The current user's command was interrupted to prevent a Work overflow because of a pending backout operation.

Action

The value specified for the LP parameter might have to be increased.


Response 9
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

The meaning of this response code varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.

Mainframe Systems

A subcode indicating the specific cause and action for this response code appears in the low-order (rightmost) two bytes of the ACB's Additions 2 field or in the ACBX's Error Subcode (ACBXERRC) field. The following are the subcodes and their meanings:

Subcode Meaning
1 The user was backed out because the hold queue was full

Action: Set the number of hold queue elements (ADARUN NH parameter) higher, or tune the application to issue more frequent ET commands.

2 The transaction time limit (TT) has been exceeded, and the transaction was backed out.

Action: Correct the cause of the timeout, then restart the transaction.

3 One of the following is the case:
  • The transaction non-activity time limit (TNAE, TNAX, or TNAA) has been exceeded.

  • The user was stopped by the STOPF or STOPI operator, or an Adabas Online System command.

  • A security violation response code has been returned for an ET-logic user. Information about response codes for security violations is provided in the Adabas Security documentation.

  • When a new user issues an OP cmd with the same user ID (in ADD1) as an earlier user did and the earlier user was inactive for more than 60 seconds, the new user can, by issuing a second OP cmd again (the first OP cmd will get response code 9, subcode 64), take over the user ID of the earlier user. When the earlier user becomes active again, this subcode can be received.

Action: Correct the cause of the timeout, then restart the transaction.

15 The user was backed out because a pending Work area overflow occurred during this operation.

Action: Either reduce the transaction length to lessen the data protection area requirement, or increase the protection area on Work.

17 At the end of an online recovery process that was initiated after the failure of a peer nucleus in an Adabas cluster, the nucleus was unable to reacquire the ETID specified by the user in the Additions 1 field of the OP command.

Action: (In the application program:) Redo the OP command with the ETID specified in the Additions 1 field to reacquire the user ID. Contact your Software AG technical support representative.

18 The user's active transaction was interrupted and backed out because a peer nucleus in an Adabas cluster terminated abnormally.

Action: (In the application program:) Rerun the transaction.

19 The user's active command was interrupted and stopped because a peer nucleus in an Adabas cluster terminated abnormally. If the interrupted command was using a command ID (CID), the command ID is deleted.

Action: (In the application program:) Clean up and reacquire the current context pertaining to Adabas command IDs; rerun the transaction.

20 The Adabas cluster nucleus assigned to the user terminated while the user had an open transaction. The transaction has been or will be backed out.

Action: (In the application program:) If the user was defined with a user ID (ETID) in the Additions 1 field of the OP command, redo the OP command to reacquire the ETID; clean up and reacquire the current context pertaining to Adabas command IDs; rerun the transaction.

21 The user's active command was waiting for an ISN in hold status when the user was backed out and closed due to a timeout or a STOP command.
22 The user's active command was waiting for free space in the work pool when the user was backed out and closed due to a timeout or a STOP command.
62 An OP (open) command was issued without a user/ET ID, which is required for this type of application or environment.

Action: Correct the program to specify a user/ET ID, and rerun the program.

63 An OP command was given for an ET user not in ET status. The user is backed out with an Adabas-generated BT command, and the operation is closed.

Action: Repeat the OP call.

64 An OP command was issued with an 8-byte ET ID that already exists.
66 An Adabas session with OPENRQ=YES was active and the user issued an Adabas command without having issued an OP command.

Action: Ensure that all users issue an OP command as the first Adabas command.

67 Insufficient Work part 1 space for open command with ETID definition when trying to read the user profile.
68 The user queue element has been deleted. Most likely the command was thrown back due to ISN contention or space shortage. The space shortage is normally workpool space; if this is the case, the LWP parameter setting should be increased.
73-78 These subcodes are given only when Adabas Transaction Manager is in use. Review the Adabas Transaction Manager documentation for more information.
79 Used by Adabas System Coordinator to signal the (optional) terminal timeout. Review the Adabas System Coordinator documentation for more information.
80-99 These subcodes are given only when Adabas Transaction Manager is in use. Review the Adabas Transaction Manager documentation for more information.
130 In a cluster, the UQE of the user was deleted between the time the user's command was routed to one nucleus in the cluster and the time that nucleus selected the command for processing.
249 This subcode is given only when Adabas Vista is in use. Review the Adabas Vista documentation for more information.

Open Systems

This response is caused by one of the following:

  • The last user transaction has been backed out by Adabas (ET logic users only) or an exclusive control user (non-ET user) or an access-only user exceeded the Non-Activity Time Limit;

  • The user session was abnormally terminated by the operator and the user issued a command;

  • The protection log area (= WORK container) was too small and an internal BT was executed.

The Additions 2 field in the control block contains additional information:

                                           First      Third+
                                            two       fourth

The information in the first two bytes is represented as an integer, and the third and fourth bytes are alphanumeric.

Action

The method of resolving the error varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.

Mainframe Systems

User actions are described in the subcode list in the explanation.

Open Systems

Check the appropriate reason. If the Adabas nucleus was started without the option OPEN_REQUIRED, and the reason for response 9 was a non-activity timeout or a STOP user, users who started their sessions with an OP command must re-issue their OP command under the following circumstances:

  • if they set a User ID

  • if they specified restricted file lists

  • if they had user-specific timeout values

  • if they were not ET users.

If too many transactions are backed out because of a Work overflow, the size of the Work container should be increased.


Response 10
Origin Mainframe systems only
Explanation

Too many occurrences for a periodic group.


Response 16
Origin Open systems only
Explanation

An error occurred in an MC call during subcommand processing. The error code and additional information can be found in the control block of the subcommand. The first 2 bytes of the Additions 2 field contain the number of the subcommand in binary format. The third and fourth bytes of the Additions 2 field contain the offset of the subcommand's control block in the MC call's record buffer in binary format. All subcommands before the one that failed were executed.

Action

Correct the failed subcommand if necessary and re-issue the subcommands beginning with the one that had failed.


Response 17
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

A subcode indicating the specific cause and action for this response code appears in the low-order (rightmost) two bytes of the ACB's Additions 2 field or in the ACBX's Error Subcode (ACBXERRC) field. The following are the subcodes and their meanings:

Subcode Meaning
1 The program tried to access system file 1 or 2, and no OP command was issued.

Action: Restructure the program to begin with an OP command.

2 The program tried to access system file 1 or 2, and the user is not authorized.

Action: Change the program to avoid the access.

4 One of the following occurred:
  • The specified file number is invalid. The file number might be equal to "0" or greater than the maximum allowed.

  • When running with ADARUN DTP={RM | TM}, an attempt was made by a non-Adabas Transaction Manager user to access/update an Adabas Transaction Manager system file.

5 The file is either not loaded, or has been locked by another user for privileged use.

On mainframe systems, for ADAORD and ADAINV utility operations, the write phase has started and use of the file is now blocked for the type of operation you requested.

6 An E1 (delete record) command was given without specifying a valid file number.
7 The program tried to perform an LF command on system file 1 or 2.
8 On mainframe systems, the program tried to access a file that was not listed in the file list of an open (OP) executed with the R option.

On open systems, \an ET user with a restricted file list and ACC = file number attempted to issue a UPD command, or a user with a restricted file list attempted to touch a file that is not in the file list

9 The file that the program attempted to access is completely locked. This is usually because the maximum number of logical file extents that can fit into the FCB have been used.

Action: Reorder, then unlock the file. Continue operation.

10 The program attempted to access a file which is locked with exclusive EXU status.
11 An LF command (read FDT) was run on a file that is not loaded; neither the FCB nor the FDT exists.
12 File has been locked with LOCKF.
13 A file is password-protected and the password was specified, but the corresponding security file is missing (not loaded).
14 A command was issued against a LOB file. Commands involving LB fields should be directed against the associated base file, not the LOB file.
15 A file is being loaded so its information is temporarily unavailable.
16 On mainframe systems, an attempt was made to perform an update (e.g. A1, E1, N1/2) against a file loaded with the attribute RPLUPDATEONLY=YES.

On open systems, the file was locked by ADAOPR.

17 An attempt was made to perform an update (e.g. A1, E1, N1/2) against a file loaded with the attribute READONLY=YES.
18 File has been locked with ALOCKF.
21 On mainframe systems, there was not enough space for encoding elements (ECSE).

On open systems, a two-byte file number was used against a lower version database that does not support large file numbers.

22 On mainframe systems, the required ECS objects needed for conversion between user and system data representation could not be loaded.

On open systems, the file control block (FCB) is invalid (corrupted).

23 ECS object could not be located. The following objects must be available in the encoding objects library: File Alpha, File Wide EDD, User Alpha, User Wide EDD, and the PTOs for the combinations between file/user alpha/wide encodings.

Action: Check that the required EDD and PTO objects are available.

24 ECS function get_attribute() failed.

Action: The function's return code is logged with the nucleus message ADAN7A.

25 One of the following occurred: - A required encoding attribute was missing in an ECS object (encoding type, class, and flags) - The default space character length was > 4 - Default space table allocation failed - If DBCS-only plane exists, wide space character was undefined, or the length > 4, or wide space table allocation failed
29 An Adabas Review communication error has occurred. Contact your Software AG support representative.
249 This subcode is given only when Adabas Vista is in use. Review the Adabas Vista documentation for more information.

Response 18
Origin Mainframe and open systems.
Explanation

Invalid file number usage. The file number was modified between successive L2/L5 calls or between successive Lx and Sx calls.

Action

Correct the file number.


Response 19
Origin Mainframe and open systems.
Explanation

An attempt was made to update a file which is either already open for read access or can only be opened for read access. The leftmost two bytes of ACB's Additions 2 field or the ACBX's File Number (ACBXFNR) field may contain the file number.

Action

Do not attempt to update a file with read-only access.


Response 20
Origin Mainframe and open systems.
Explanation

One of the following invalid values was used for a command ID value:

  • Binary zeros

  • Blanks

  • The high-order byte contains the hexadecimal value "FF", but there is no automatic command ID generation

  • The three high-order bytes contain the ASCII string "SYN".

Action

Correct the command ID and avoid using any of these invalid command ID values.


Response 21
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

An invalid command ID value was detected. One of the following explanations or subcodes is provided:

Subcode Meaning
1 The command ID value was not found in the sequential command table. Either this is not an initial call and there was no previous initial call, or the initial call was issued for another file.

The command ID value specified with the GET NEXT option of an L1/L4 command was not found or the command ID value was not found and the L3/L6 call was not an initial call.

3

The command ID value specified for the L3/L6 command was assigned to another Lx command or the command ID specified for an L9 command was assigned to another Lx command.

4 The format buffer with the command ID used by an Lx command was created by an L9 command and is incompatible.
5 The format buffer with the command ID used by an L9 command was created by an Lx command and is incompatible.
6 The command ID value specified for the S8 command was not found.
7 The command ID value specified was assigned to an internal format buffer for a different file.
8 The command ID value specified for the S8 command is for an unsorted ISN list.; the ISN list was not in ISN sequence.
9 An application running with PREFETCH=YES or PREFETCH=OLD attempted to dynamically reverse the read direction of an L3/L6/L9 command. This is not allowed.
Action

Correct the command ID.


Response 22
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

The command or command option is invalid. A subcode indicating the specific cause and action for this response code appears in the low-order (rightmost) two bytes of the ACB's Additions 2 field or in the ACBX's Error Subcode (ACBXERRC) field.

When using the LNCSTUB module on mainframe systems, this response code may indicate problems with the initial call (IC) to the Adabas CICS command-level link component. If the Adabas control block shows a command code of "IC", the link routine being used may not be at the proper release level or may not be the command-level version.

The following are the subcodes and their meanings:

Subcode Meaning
1 The nucleus detected an invalid command code.
2 This command cannot be issued by an ACC (access only) user; and update command cannot be issued by an access-only user.
3 This command cannot be performed on a read-only nucleus; an update command cannot be issued for a read-only database session.
4 This privileged command was issued without a previous OP (open) command.
5 The command is not valid for a nonprivileged user.
6 The command was rejected by user exit 1. In this case, the first two bytes of the Additions 2 field contain the response code of the user exit.
7 Incorrect command options were specified for a privileged command.
8 The command is invalid for an ET user in preliminary ET status. First complete the transaction using Adabas Transaction Manager.
9 The current user is not authorized to issue an ET/BT command.
10 The C2 command is no longer permitted.
11 The C3 command can only be issued by EXU users.
12 The L1/4 command with the option "F" is not valid for expanded files.
13 The call issued is not permitted when the database is in a suspend state.
14 Invalid privileged command.
15 An L1/L4 command specified the multifetch option ("M" or "O") was not combined with either the "I" or "N" option.
16 The user does not have "privileged" command authorization.
17 Not permitted during online save.
18 Applications using the ADALNK X'48 call logic receive this response when the logic has been suppressed.
19 On mainframe systems, a special utility command was issued for an obsolete subfunction.

On open systems, an ET or BT with command option "S" was issued without subtransactions being enabled for the current Adabas user session by specifying command option "S" in the OP command.

21 One of the following occurred:
  • A BT command was issued by a non-ET logic user.

  • An ET command was issued for a distributed transaction managed by Adabas Transaction Manager; ET commands are invalid for a distributed transaction managed by Adabas Transaction Manager.

22 The current transaction has already been heuristically terminated or the command is not allowed within an MC sequence.
23 One of the following occurred:
  • The last MC subcommand is not ET.

  • A BT command was issued for a distributed transaction managed by Adabas Transaction Manager; BT commands are invalid for a distributed transaction managed by Adabas Transaction Manager.

24 One of the following occurred:
  • An ET or CL command with user data is not allowed for read-only access to a database.

  • CL is invalid because the user has a transaction in progress that is managed by Adabas Transaction Manager.

25 A command was sent from an Event Replicator Server to an Adabas nucleus, but the Adabas nucleus is not running with ADARUN REPLICATION=YES.
26 An attempt was made by an Adabas nucleus to connect to an Event Replicator Server when the target of the message is actually another Adabas nucleus, not an Event Replicator Server.
29 An error occurred during a connection attempt by an Event Replicator Server database. Ensure that you are trying to connect to another Adabas nucleus and not an Event Replicator Server and try again.
32 An attempt was made to update a replicated file in single-user-mode. Replicated files can be updated only in multi-mode; replication is not supported in single-mode. However, a nucleus with replication support can be started in single-mode for maintenance purposes.
33 A shared hold status request (with command option 3 set to "C", "Q", or "S") is not allowed for a command with prefetch (command option 1 set to "P").

On open systems, the command option "S" is not allowed for an S9 command with a non-blank Additions 4 field.

34

On open systems, the command was rejected by user exit 11.

35 The command cannot be executed with the nucleus parameter NT=1.
36 The descending option "D" is not allowed for the command.
37 On mainframe systems, a shared hold status request (command option 3 is set to "C", "Q", or "S") is not allowed for a non-ET user.

On open systems, the option "L" for an L1 or L4 command was specified together with a multifetch option ("M" or "O").

38 A shared hold status request for a sequential read command (command option 3 is set to "Q") is not allowed for an L4 command without the N-option, nor is it allowed for an S4 command without a command ID (CID) or with an ISN buffer length other than 4 bytes.
39 A shared hold status request for a sequential read command (command option 3 is set to "Q") is not allowed for a command with a multifetch (command option 1 is set to "M" or "O"). Also, a shared hold status request (with command option 3 set to "C", "Q", or "S") is not allowed for a read command with prefetch (command option 1 is set to "P").

Mainframe Systems

One of the following format buffer errors occurred (subcodes are shown in the leftmost column):

Subcode Meaning
1 The specified format is not allowed for an update operation. A possible reason for this is the presence of a conditional format buffer with an update operation.
2 The L9 command's format buffer format is not allowed for other commands.
3 The specified format is not allowed for an update operation. A possible reason for this is the presence of a conditional format buffer with an update operation.
4 The L9 command's format buffer format is not allowed for other commands.
5 Format used for L9 can only contain field and an optional daylight savings time indicator (fldD).
6 Fixed point format must have length 2, 4, or 8.
7 Conditional format and more than one format buffer was specified.
8 The current Adabas call provides a different number of format buffers than the format reference by CID.
9 Number of format buffer segments (ABDs) is zero.
10 AAS,AA,AA is invalid.
12 L option specified but the format has no LOB segment with *-position.

Response 48
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

An error occurred during the processing of a command such as OP or N1. Refer to the hexadecimal subcode that appears in the low-order (rightmost) two bytes of the ACB's Additions 2 field or in the ACBX's Error Subcode (ACBXERRC) field.

Subcode Meaning
1 A specified file is locked against the requested use.
2 A specified file is currently in conflicting use.
3 A utility cannot start because an online save operation is in progress.
5 A utility requiring exclusive database control cannot start because an online save operation is in progress.
6 A utility that requires exclusive database control cannot start because the user queue is not empty.
8 The user ID specified in the open (OP) command is already in use by another user.
9 An EXU/EXF/UTI lock was requested in the open command, but the file is currently in the file list of a user in UPD/EXU/EXF/UTI status.
10 An EXF/UTI lock was requested in the open command, but the file is currently in the file list of a user in ACC status.
11 A nonprivileged user issued an open (OP) command to a nucleus in UTIONLY (utilities only) status.
13 Online file save attempting to run on an advance-locked file.
14 UPD/ACC open attempted against advance-locked file.
15 A file requested for an online utility (Adabas Online System or ADADBS) or an E1 program refresh is currently being used.
16 ACODE or WCODE was specified in the record buffer on the command but the nucleus was not activated with UES support.
17 A specified file is locked against the requested use and is advance-locked. The data in the file is not accessible. This can happen if a utility aborts or an autorestart fails.
18 On mainframe systems, this means that a second command was issued by a user who is participating in a two-phase commit (preliminary ET completed; final ET outstanding) or whose transaction has been heuristically terminated.

On open systems, this means that the index of the specified file is not accessible. This can happen if a utility aborts or if the index has been disabled by ADAREC REGENERATE or an autorestart.

19 The file number is zero or is greater than the maximum number of files allowed for the database (based on the MAXFILES parameter setting when the database was defined using the ADADEF utility).
20 A regenerate/backout with exclusive database control is rejected because there are in-doubt transactions or heuristically terminated transactions on Work part 4.
21 File is locked for utility usage.
25 - 30 Reserved for Adabas Transaction Manager. These subcodes are given only when Adabas Transaction Manager is in use. Please see the Adabas Transaction Manager documentation for more information.
31 File locked for normal usage
32 A file is in use by an exclusive update (EXU) user. An update request from another user is not permitted.
33 A file is locked for exclusive file control (EXF) or utility update (UTI) usage. The request from a user with a different type is not permitted.
257 - 260 Reserved for use by Event Replicator for Adabas on open systems.

On open systems, the corresponding file number is returned in the first two bytes of the Additions 2 field in binary format except for value 8 in the third and fourth byte. The value 0 means the whole database.

Action

The following user actions are possible:

  • Wait for the other user or utility to finish, then retry the command.

  • Make the file available for all users (on open systems, if value 16 occurred in bytes 3 and 4).

  • Restore or unlock the file (on open systems, if value 17 occurred in bytes 3 and 4).

  • Rebuild the file's index (on open systems, if value 18 occurred in bytes 3 and 4).

  • On open systems, if the value in bytes 3 and 4 of the Additions 2 field is 8, and the nucleus was started with the OPEN_REQUIRED option, you can reissue the OP command immediately. This will cause the other user with the same user ID to be stopped, unless that user is currently active.

  • On open systems, if a utility receives a response 48 because non-utility users are still active, you can lock the file with ADAOPR LOCK. This ADAOPR command stops all non-utility users from accessing the file and allows only utility users to access the file until it is unlocked again.

    On mainframe systems, if a utility receives a response 48 because non-utility users are still active, you can lock the file with ADADBS MODFCB FILEREADONLY. The FILEREADONLY command stops all non-utility users from accessing the file and allows only utility users to access the file until it is unlocked again.


Response 49
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

The compressed record was too long. It exceeds the maximum permitted compressed record length for the file.

On open systems, the first two bytes of the Additions 2 field contain the length of the compressed record in binary format.

On mainframe systems, the following subcodes may be indicated:

Note:
This response code always means that the compressed record is too long and there are duplicate meanings for subcodes but the subcode can help your Software AG technical support representative analyze where in the code we are giving the response. This can be useful for debugging purposes. Please always provide the subcode when communicating about this response code with your Software AG technical support representative.

Subcode Meaning
1 Multiple-value (MU) field.
2 Periodic (PE) group field.
3 MU field.
4 PE group.
5 PE group level.
6 Remaining fields.
7 Record too long for protection logging (internal error).
8 A compressed record exceeds the permitted length. The error was detected when updating a multiple field.
9 Exceeded segment length maximum.
10 Long alpha or wide field.
11 New compressed record too long
12 Old version MU update.
13 The MU field was defined with an index
14 MU update, compressed record too long
15 MU update, compressed record too long
16 MU update, compressed record too long
17 MU update, MU count > 1
19 LOB value too long. An attempt was made to update a LOB value segment that ends after the maximum allowed length of LOB valus. This response code/subcode combination is produced as a result of an L1/L4 command with Command Option 2 set to "L" but with the ISN Lower Limit value grater than or equal to the length of the LOB value being read.
20 Compressed Data Sorage record too long. A LOB update attempted to make a long LOB value (greater than 253 bytes) short (less than or equal to 253 bytes), but the base record was too long to embed the short LOB value. This condition was detected when the LOB value was being read from the LOB file.
21 Compressed Data Storage record too long. A LOB update attempted to make a long LOB value (greater than 253 bytes) short (less than or equal to 253 bytes), but the base record was too long to embed the short LOB value. This condition was detected when an attempt was made to insert the short LOB value into the base record.
90 Segment too long
96 Compressed record too long
99 Exceeded segment length maximum
Action

On open systems, add a new DATA extent with sufficient block size (block size >= compressed record size + 8). Alternatively you can start the nucleus with OPTIONS=AUTO_EXPAND; then the Adabas nucleus automatically creates a new DATA extent with sufficient block size.

7 At least one of the record buffers was too small for the data defined in the corresponding format buffer. EDEERE contains the buffer number in error.
8 The referenced existing format buffer requires more space than that given in one of the record buffers.

If this subcode occurs using ADACMP DECOMPRESS, the LRECL of the output record is too small.

249 This subcode is given only when Adabas Vista is in use. Review the Adabas Vista documentation for more information.

Open Systems

The record buffer was too small, or the ISN buffer was too small for a requested multifetch command. The following information is returned in the Additions 2 field of the control block:

  • The first two bytes contain the expected buffer size in binary format. This value is -1 if the command would have exceeded the maximum record size.

  • The third and fourth bytes contain the name of the buffer that was too small. ("RB" or "IB"). If the error occurred while using a hyperexit, the name of the hyperexit is stored here.

Action

One of the following occurred:

  • During a read-type operation, a field defined with the SQL null (NC) option contained a null value, but the format buffer held no "S" (significant null) indicator for the field.

    In an ACB, the Additions 2 may contain the field name in the leftmost two bytes; the rightmost two bytes may contain the offset into the record buffer. In an ACBX, the Error Character Field (ACBXERRB) may contain the field name; the Error Offset in Buffer (ACBXERRA or ACBXERRG) fields may contain the offset into the record buffer.

  • Attempted format conversion was not possible due to incompatible data formats or other compatibility problems.

    In an ACB, the Additions 2 will contain the field name in the leftmost two bytes; the rightmost two bytes will contain the offset into the record buffer. In an ACBX, the Error Character Field (ACBXERRB) will contain the field name; the Error Subcode (ACBXERRC) field will contain the subcode.

    Subcode Meaning
    0 Conversion error on record decompression.
    1 Invalid conversion between formats.
    2 Invalid length for fixed encoding. For example, user encoding Unicode with code-point size of 2 bytes and no even length specified.
    4 Conversion error of a floating-point field (underflow) when converting to/from a non-IBM floating-point format.
    5 Format conversion of field with NV option is not allowed.
    6 An invalid length was specified ( for example, a wide character field in Unicode encoding must have an even length).
    7 Invalid conversion between formats (different case than subcode 1).
    8 Conversion error of a floating-point field (overflow) when converting to/from a non-IBM floating-point format.
    9 A one-byte field was provided in the record buffer for the occurrence count of an MU field or PE group in a file with extended MU/PE limits. A two-byte occurrence count value is expected.
    20 Unsupported date-time conversion -- internal error.
    21 Date-time value outside valid range. The valid range depends on the date-time edit masks being used in the format or search buffer and the FDT.
    22 Invalid local time – (non-existing local time in the gap that occurs when switching from standard to daylight saving time or when the time zone advances GMT offset)
    23 Year outside range of 1-9999.
    24 Month outside range of 1-12.

    27 Minutes outside range of 0-59.
    28 Seconds outside range of 0-59.
    30 Accessing a field defined with option TZ but no time zone was specified in the user session. Issue the OP command with TZ='timezone' parameter in the record buffer to set the time zone for the user session.
    31 Invalid daylight saving offset given (fldD) for date-time and time zone.
    n Data between user and system data representation could not be converted without error and 2-byte error code from ECS.
    254 Numeric field length in format shorter than the field length in the FDT.
    255 Field length exceeded maximum for variable fields.

    Entire Conversion Service (ECS) error codes are described in Entire Conversion Service (ECS) Errors, elsewhere in the Adabas Messages documentation.

Open Systems

A format, length conversion, or truncation error occurred while processing field values in the record buffer or value buffer.

  • The value for an FI field is too long;

  • The resulting value exceeds the border of the FI field;

  • Truncation error of numeric field;

  • Truncation of alphanumeric fields or truncation of numeric fields which are converted to alphanumeric, except when OPTIONS=TRUNCATION is enabled in ADANUC;

  • A value defined without LA or L4 option with variable length is larger than 253 bytes. This may happen for Unicode fields after conversion to another encoding.

  • The length specified for a Unicode field for a character set with fixed character length is not a multiple of the character length: in particular, the length for UTF-16 based character sets must be a multiple of 2, and the length for UTF-32 based character sets must be a multiple of 4;

  • The specified value is not a valid date/time value;

  • The field does not contain a valid date/time value. This can happen if the value was stored without a date/time edit mask;

  • A date/time field with option TZ was specified in the format or search buffer, but there was no time zone specified in an OP command for the current Adabas user session;

  • The attempted format conversion was not possible due to incompatible data formats or other compatibility problems.

The following information is returned in the first two bytes of the Additions 2 field, and in the case of an ACBX, also in the field ACBXERRC:

Subcode Meaning
0 Conversion error.
1 Truncation error.
2 Internal structure error.
20 Unsupported DATETIME conversion.
21 Date/time value outside valid range. The valid range depends on the date-time edit masks being used in the format or search buffer and the FDT.
22 Date/time value specified in gap when switching from standard time to daylight saving time.
24 Month not between 1 and 12.
25 Day not between 1 and n, where n is the number of days of the month specified.
26 Hours not between 1 and 24.
27 Minutes not between 1 and 59.
28 Seconds not between 1 and 59.
30 Internal error: missing time zone element for conversion with time zone.
31 Invalid daylight saving offset given (fldD) for date/time and time zone.

The field name is returned in the third and fourth byte of the Additions 2 field, and in the case of an ACBX in the field ACBXERRB.

In addition, the following information is returned in the case of an ACBX call:

  • The offset in the record or value buffer in ACBXERRA;

  • The type of buffer in ACBXERRD (‘R’ for error in record buffer, ‘V’for error in value buffer).

Action

Depending on the reasone, correct the appropriate buffer and try again.

On open systems, if a record structure is indicated, run the ADAVFY FIELD against the corresponding file. If this produces errors, then the file must be unloaded, decompressed, recompressed, and reloaded.

If the time zone specification in the OP command is missing, correct and run the appropriate OP command.

One of the following occurred:

Subcode Meaning
. The descriptor value was too long.
n The collation value exceeded the maximum 253 bytes. The subcode n is the collation descriptor exit number.
Action

Store a shorter descriptor value or collation value.

On open systems, you also can specify the TR option for the descriptor, which truncates larger descriptor values before they are stored in the index. Note that with the TR option, search results may be inaccurate: this is because values that are identical in the first 1144 bytes are considered to be equal to each other.


Response 57
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

In an L9 command, the descriptor specified in the format or search buffer or in the Additions 1 field was invalid or the descriptor was not specified:

  • The field name specified may not be the name of a descriptor.

  • The descriptor specified may be a phonetic descriptor or a hyperdescriptor, which are not allowed in an L9 command.

  • On open systems, the descriptor specified may be a collation descriptor with the option HE.

Explanation

This response code is used for communication with Adabas utilities and Adabas Online System (AOS), and was returned because the requested function could not be performed on the Adabas system (including checkpoint and security) files or because an error occurred in an AOS or utility function.

The following subcodes may be returned:

Subcode Meaning
1 An invalid file number has been specified.
2 The function is not executable according to the given file status (for example, if the file is a system file).
3 An invalid OPTION-1 definition was provided. The content must be "01" or "02".
4 The given field name is not a descriptor.
5 The OPTION-1 content is incorrect in relation to the status of the given field name. For example, "01" was specified and an attempt was made to disable a descriptor, but the specified field is not a descriptor or is already disabled. Or, "02" was specified and an attempt was made to enable a descriptor, but the specified field is not a disabled descriptor.

Subcode Meaning
7 An overflow occurred in the user queue.
8,9 An overflow occurred in the user queue file list pool.
Action

The DBA may increase the value used for the NU parameter.


Response 73
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

An overflow occurred in the section of the Work data set (mainframe systems) or the temporary working space (open systems) in which resulting ISN lists are stored.

On open systems, please note that for read-only databases, temporary working space is only created if a location for it is explicitly specified (environment variable TEMPLOCn or entries for TEMPORARY_LOCATION in the file DBnnn.INI); otherwise only some of the space in the Adabas buffer pool is used for storing the ISN lists.

Action

On mainframe systems, the DBA may increase the size of the Work data set and/or the number of saved ISN lists during an Adabas session may be decreased.

On open systems, provide enough temporary working space. For read-only databases, specify the location for the temporary working space explicitly or increase the size of the Adabas buffer pool (ADANUC parameter LBP).

Note:
The processing of ISN lists was changed for Adabas Version 5.1. If you get this error with an Adabas Version 3 database, please refer to the Adabas Version 3 documentation.


Response 74
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

No space was available on the Work data set for complex find commands.

Action

On open systems, increase the size of the Work data set.

On mainframe systems, increasing the size of the Work data set alone will not solve this problem. Instead, set the value of LWKP2 (WORK-PART-2) to a higher value than the calculated one (whatever that might be). Then increase the size of the Work data set to ensure there is sufficient space for WORK-PART-3.


Response 75
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

Attempts to allocate additional Associator or Data Storage extents for a file were issued, but the maximum number of extents that can be handled by the FCB have already been allocated.

On mainframe systems, BT (backout) or autorestart processing could cause the file to be locked because of inadequate extent space (see response code 48).

On open systems, the last extent is allocated only for a command which is being backed out and for AUTORESTART and ADAREC REGENERATE. The first two bytes of the Additions 2 field contain the highest possible extent number (in binary format). The third and fourth bytes indicate where the overflow occurred. Possible values are: "DS" (Data Storage), "AC" (Address Converter), "NI" (Normal Index) and "UI" (Upper Index).

Action

On mainframe systems, ask your DBA for assistance; Associator or Data Storage extents may have to be reallocated.

On open systems, unload the file and reload it with appropriate initial allocations.


Response 76
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

An overflow occurred in an inverted list index (the maximum is 15 levels).

Action

Unload and reload the file with an appropriate padding factor for the Associator.


Response 77
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

Sufficient space was not available for a required Associator or Data Storage extent.

On mainframe systems, the following subcodes further define the error:

Subcode Meaning
1 FST empty.
2 AC START RABN not available.
3 AC END RABN not available.
4 FST will not fit into five ASSO blocks.
5 FST exhausted trying to allocate AC extent.
6 ASSO space allocation RABN not on device.
7 ASSO space on required device not available.
8 FROM RABN available, but contiguous space is not sufficient.
9 Data Storage space of the requested size is not available.
10 Data Storage space on the same device as the previous extent is not available.
11 FST is empty, or data storage for the current MAXRECL value is not available.
12 FST empty.

On open systems, the third and fourth bytes of the Additions 2 field contain either "AS" (Associator) or "DS" (Data Storage). You can also get the response 77 if you specified an explicit RABN for an Associator or Data Storage extent and the requested space is not available at the requested RABN. Please note that Adabas distinguishes between small (< 16KB) and large (>= 16KB) index blocks. This means that a response 77 can be returned even though there are enough free Associator blocks, but the free Associator blocks have the wrong size.

Action

On mainframe systems, ask your DBA for assistance; Associator or Data Storage extents may have to be reallocated.

On open systems, add a new Associator or Data Storage extent to the database using the ADADBM utility or specify a RABN where the requested space is available.

Note:
Response 77 can sometimes be prevented by enabling database autoexpand to execute in the online mode (specify the open systems nucleus parameter OPTIONS=AUTO_EXPAND).

Explanation

The meaning of this response code varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.

Mainframe Systems

The cause of this response is indicated by one of the following subcodes:

Subcode Meaning
1 The AC file cannot be increased; only one file extent is permitted.
2 The file contains more than either 4 billion or 16 MB of ISNs, depending on the ISN length.

Open Systems

An overflow occurred in the free space table (FST) as a result of Associator or Data Storage fragmentation, or the maximum number of DSST extents has already been allocated.

Action

The method of resolving the error varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.

Mainframe Systems

If the file has reached the 16-MB limit, you might convert it to a file with the 4-byte ISN option or to an expanded file.

A collation descriptor exit or hyperexit error occurred. The following table describes the possible subcodes for this response code and their meanings:

Subcode Meaning
1 Either a collation descriptor exit (subcode CDXn where n is the one-byte binary collation descriptor exit number) or a hyperdescriptor exit ("hyperexit") was not specified ADARUN.
5 The hyperexit stub was called for an extended MU/PE file.
6 Improper use of the parameter list was detected by the Hyperexit Stub. The most likely reason is that a hyperexit using the Adabas 8 parameter structures is linked to the Hyperexit Stub.
7 The Hyperexit Stub could not resolve the HEXOLD external reference.
8 Improper use of the parameter list was detected. The second word of the parameter list was modified.
9 A hyperexit did not return an output parameter area address.
10 A hyperexit rejected the call by setting a nonzero return code in the output parameter header.

Open Systems

A hyperexit is not available to the nucleus. The following information is returned in the Additions 2 field of the control block:

  • The first two bytes contain the number of the hyperexit,;

  • The third and fourth bytes contain the name of the hyperdescriptor.

1 Reissue ADARUN with the CDXnn or HEXnn parameter. For more information about ADARUN parameters, read Adabas Initialization (ADARUN Statement), in Adabas Operations Manual; for more information about user exits and hyperexits, read User Exits and Hyperexits, in Adabas User, Hyperdescriptor, and Collation Descriptor Exits Manual.
5 The Hyperexit Stub may not be used with extended MU/PE files. For more information about hyperexits, read User Exits and Hyperexits, in Adabas User, Hyperdescriptor, and Collation Descriptor Exits Manual.
6,7 Investigate the Hyperexit Stub link job. For more information about hyperexits, read User Exits and Hyperexits, in Adabas User, Hyperdescriptor, and Collation Descriptor Exits Manual.
8 A likely cause of the error is that a pre-Adabas 8 hyperexit was called without a linked Hyperexit Stub. For more information about hyperexits, read User Exits and Hyperexits, in Adabas User, Hyperdescriptor, and Collation Descriptor Exits Manual.
9 Hyperexits must return an output parameter area address upon return. For more information about hyperexits, read User Exits and Hyperexits, in Adabas User, Hyperdescriptor, and Collation Descriptor Exits Manual.
10 Investigate the hyperexit to determine why the call was rejected.

Explanation

This response code generally occurs when there is a workpool (LWP) shortage. Sufficient work pool space is not available or the sort work space is too small (even if only one user is active).

On mainframes systems, when this response code occurs, refer to the hexadecimal subcode that appears in the low-order (rightmost) two bytes of the ACB's Additions 2 field or in the ACBX's Error Subcode (ACBXERRC) field. This subcode describes what kind of operation encountered the error.

The following table describes the mainframe subcodes and provides recommended actions.

Subcode Operation Encountering the Workpool Shortage Action
1 Only active command is waiting for workpool space. Increase the ADARUN LWP setting and try again.
During session autorestart, insufficient workpool or user queue space was encountered. Increase ADARUN LWP and NU parameter settings and try again.
2 Only active command is waiting for workpool space. Increase the ADARUN LWP setting and try again.
3 A command waiting for workpool space was interrupted for transaction backout.
4 A1 command
5 E1 command
7 Superfield value generation
8 N1 command
9 OP command

The specified ISN was invalid for one of the following reasons:

  • An HI command was issued with ISN less than MINISN or with an ISN equal to zero (0).

  • An N2 command was issued with ISN equal to 0 or larger than the MAXISN in effect for the file.

  • An N2 command was issued and the specified ISN was assigned to another record in the file.

  • An A1, L1/L4, E1, or S1/S2/S4 (with FB) command was issued for a nonexistent ISN.

  • An L3/L6 command found an ISN in the index which did not exist in the address converter.

  • An N1/N2 command tried to access a file protected by security-by-value, but the command user is not authorized to access the file.

  • A read or update command tried to access a multiclient file's record using either a blank or incorrect-length owner ID, or an owner ID that does not apply to the record.

  • An RI command was issued for a record that has been updated earlier in the same transaction. The record cannot be released from hold status prior to transaction end. On mainframe systems, subcode 5 is issued for this reason.

  • Subcode 19 is given when a base file record is not found in the address converter (AC). At the end of a LOB update in the LOBfile, the associated base file record no longer existed.

A refresh file error occurred. One of the following subcodes may be present:

Subcode Description
1 A file refresh is not permitted for the file (PGMREFRESH=NO) or the command ID field (ACBCID or ACBXCID) is not all blanks.
2 The user has not completed transactions to the file. Updates have been performed or records are still in hold, but the user has not issued an ET or BT command to commit or back out the updates.
3 Other users are accessing or updating the file. This is determined by the user access or update counts available internally to Adabas.
4 The file is a multiclient file and the user is not a superuser.

Open Systems

Response 132
Origin Mainframe and open system
Explanation

The exact meaning of this response code varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.

Mainframe Systems

This response code indicates that an error occurred while Adabas was reading or updating a LOB file. The subcode indicates the kind of error.

If the subcode is less than 256, it is the same as the original response code that occurred during LOB file processing. The most likely subcodes are listed in the table below. For subcodes not listed, see the description of the Adabas response code with the same value.

If the subcode is greater than 256, it signals an error condition unique to the processing of LOB files. These subcodes are listed in the table below.

Subcode Description
8 A LOB file operation was aborted due to a pending backout of the user's command or transaction. One reason for this backout may be that the user's transaction occupied too much space on the protection area on the Work data set (see response code 9, subcode 15).
17 The LOB file is not loaded.
48 The LOB file is locked for exclusive read or update by another user.
65 An internal error in the work pool space calculation occurred for LOB file processing.
113 A LOB file segment record was not found in the Address Converter element referred to by the LOB file index. Either the LOB file is physically inconsistent or an illegal concurrent LOB file update occurred during the LOB file read operation.
145 An attempt failed to put a LOB file segment record on hold for a user, because it was already held by another user. This subcode indicates illegal update contention for the same large object field value. The base file-LOB file pair is possibly inconsistent.
165 The LOB file descriptor is not found in the index; The LOB file index is bad.
172 An ISN in the LOB file index is bad. The LOB file may be physically inconsistent.
175 The descriptor value in a LOB file segment record differs from the descriptor value in the LOB file index. Either the LOB file is physically inconsistent or an illegal concurrent LOB file update occurred during the LOB file read operation.
177 A LOB file segment record was not found in the Data Storage block referred to by the Address Converter. Either the LOB file is physically inconsistent or an illegal concurrent LOB file update occurred during the LOB read operation.
257 An error in the base file-LOB file linkage exists; a file with LB fields is not really the base file of the LOB group.
258 An error in the base file-LOB file linkage exists; the file linked to the base file of a LOB group is not really a LOB file.
259 An error in the base file-LOB file linkage exists; the LOB file linked to a base file of a LOB group refers back to a different base file (or none at all).
260 An error in the base file-LOB file linkage exists; either no LOB file was linked to a base file or the LOB file number is invalid.
261 The LOB file has been left in an inconsistent state by an aborted utility execution.
262 An LB field length element specification error occurred in the format buffer ('xxL,4,B' was expected).
263 An invalid LOB file segment descriptor was encountered. The set of LOB file segment records associated with one LB field value is inconsistent. Either the LOB file is bad or an illegal concurrent LOB file update occurred during the LOB file read operation.
264 An invalid LOB file segment record was encountered. The contents of a LOB file record are inconsistent. The LOB file is bad.
265 The length of an LB field value in the LOB file differs from the length stored in the associated base file record. Either the base file and the LOB file are out-of-sync or an illegal concurrent LOB file update occurred during the LOB file read operation.
266 A bad LB field value reference was encountered in a base file record. The base file is bad.

Origin Open systems only
Explanation

A requested lock could not be granted because a deadlock situation has been detected.

Action

If the operation already performed in the current transaction have produced a new, useful and consistent database state, you should perform an end of transaction. Otherwise you should backout the transaction.


Response 144
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

One of the following occurred:

  • The ISN specified with an update (A1) command was not in hold status for the user and command option H was not specified.

  • An ET or BT command specifying the M (multifetch) option specified an ISN in the ISN buffer that is not in hold status for the user. All currently held ISNs are released from hold status.

    In this case on open systems, the first 2 bytes of the Additions 2 field (in binary format) contain the offset of that ISN in the ISN buffer.

Action

Put the ISN in hold status before using the A1 command or the multifetch ET or BT commands.

If Adabas Transaction Manager is in use, verify that the setting for the Transaction Model parameter is appropriate for the program that was executing and is also appropriate for the runtime environment in use.


Response 145
Origin Mainframe and open system
Explanation

The exact meaning of this response code varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.

Mainframe Systems

On mainframe systems, one of the following situations occurred:

  • An N1/N2 command was issued, but no hold queue entry was available.

  • A command was issued with the return option specified that attempted to hold an ISN already in the hold queue for another user. The command is not placed in wait status.

Use the subcode associated with this response code to further clarify why this response occurred.

Subcode Meaning
0 N2 command for an existing ISN was issued.
1 Hold queue space problem detected. The user is the only active user and is running with the -R option.
2 The ISN was held by someone else. The read request is running with the -R option.
8 The hold status of a record could not be upgraded from shared to exclusive because another user was already waiting to do the same. The two users became deadlocked.
9 Two or more users became deadlocked while holding ISNs and attempting to put more ISNs in hold status.

Open Systems

On open systems, one of the following situations occurred:

  • An attempt was made to insert a record using an N2 command with an ISN that is in hold status.

  • An attempt was made to hold an ISN which was in hold status for another user and the R option is specified. In this case, the Additions 2 field contains the binary value 0;

  • Hold queue overflow. In this case, the Additions 2 field contains a value not equal to 0.

    Note:
    This hold queue overflow error can only occur with Adabas versions < 5.1.


Response 146
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

The exact meaning of this response code varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.

Mainframe Systems

An invalid buffer length was detected by the Adabas interface routine. If the command uses a classic ACB, the buffer is larger than 32,767. If the command uses an ACBX, the buffer is greater than 2,147,483,647, or the send length in the ABD is greater than the buffer length. The subcode identifies the buffer type:

Subcode Buffer Type
1 Format buffer
2 Record buffer
3 Search buffer
4 Value buffer
5 ISN buffer
6 User information buffer
7 Performance buffer
8 Multifetch buffer

Open Systems

An invalid buffer length was detected by the Adabas interface routine, in an MC call, or one of the following errors occurred for a multifetch command:

  • the buffer header was invalid (both offsets are set)

  • at least one ISN buffer offset was not divisible by 4

  • the start offset was outside the multicall buffer range

  • the record buffer was not large enough to contain all subcommand control blocks.

The value in the Additions 2 field identifies the buffer: the first 2 bytes contain the buffer number in binary format, the last two bytes contain the buffer name, as shown in the following table:

                  Bytes 1-2        Bytes 3-4
                     1             FB (format buffer)
                     2             RB (record buffer)
                     3             SB (search buffer)
                     4             VB (value buffer)
                     5             IB (ISN buffer)
Action

Correct the buffer length and try again.


Response 147
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

The exact meaning of this response code varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.

Mainframe Systems

The ISN was invalid. The ISN transformation resulted in a negative ISN or an ISN greater than the maximum ISN permitted for the file.

Open Systems

A user buffer is not accessible by the Adabas interface routine.

Action

The method of resolving the error varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.

Response 148
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

The Adabas nucleus was either not active or not accessible (a call could not be sent to the Adabas nucleus when the command was issued). In an ACB, refer to the hexadecimal subcode that appears in the low-order (rightmost) two bytes of the Additions 2 field; in an ACBX, refer to the binary subcode that appears in the Error Subcode (ACBXERRC) field.

Note:
If you are running with Entire Net-Work, the leftmost two bytes of the Additions 2 field (in the ACB) or the ACBXERRC field (in the ACBX) may contain the ID of the Entire Net-Work node that issued this response code.

The following are the decimal equivalents of the subcodes and their meanings:

Subcode Description Action
0 No active database server was found, either local or remote. (open systems) Start the nucleus and reissue the command.
1 Exclusive database control requirement conflicts with read-only nucleus status. (mainframe systems) Remove the READONLY=YES parameter setting for the nucleus and restart it.
2 A nonprivileged call was made to the nucleus while it was in utility-only (UTI) mode. (mainframe systems) Remove the UTIONLY=YES parameter setting for the nucleus and restart it.
3 The nucleus is performing shutdown processing (an ADAEND operation) and will not accept new users or new transactions. Either a new user is attempting to begin operation or an existing user in ET status is trying to continue operation. (mainframe and open systems) Wait for the nucleus to shut down, restart it, and reissue the command.
4 A utility with exclusive database control is running. (mainframe systems) Either stop the utility or wait for its processing to complete (this is preferred) and try again.
5 A single-user nucleus could not start operation due to an error that could not be corrected. (mainframe systems) Verify that single-user mode has been set up correctly and restart the nucleus.
21 Entire Net-Work access communication has failed. The first two bytes of the Additions 2 field contain an error number. (open systems) Refer to your Entire Net-Work documentation for further information.
22 There is a problem with the Adabas IPC driver. The first two bytes of the Additions 2 field contain an error number. (open systems) Shut down the nucleus, if it is still active, and restart it. If the error still occurs, try issuing the command showipc -kd <dbid>, then restart the nucleus and reissue the command.
23 There is a problem attaching the Adabas IPC driver's shared memory (Adabas open systems version 3.1 only) Shut down the nucleus, if it is still active, and restart it. If the error still occurs, try issuing the command showipc -kd <dbid>, then restart the nucleus and reissue the command.
24 The ADALNK shared library cannot be loaded correctly. (open systems) Check the locations and permissions of the ADALNK shared library.
26 An IPC problem occurred during open processing, e.g. the shared memory could not be attached. (open systems) One reason for these messages may be that someone has deleted an IPC resource. If this is the case, shut down the nucleus, if it is still active, and restart it. If the error still occurs, try issuing the command showipc -kd <dbid>, then restart the nucleus and reissue the command.

Another reason these messages may occur may be that the IPC resources are not sufficient. In this case, increase the IPC resources, or decrease the values of some nucleus parameters on which the required amount of IPC resources depends., or stop some other process that also consumes IPC resources. For more information about IPC resources, refer to the section Increasing System V IPC Resources in the Adabas open systems installation documentation.

27 An IPC problem occurred during a read in the message queue. (open systems)
28 An IPC problem occurred during a write in the message queue. (open systems)
29 IPC resources exist, but the database server was not active (UNIX platforms only). Issue the command showipc -kd <dbid>, restart the nucleus, and reissue the command.

A descriptor name was either invalid or did not exist in the descriptor value table (DVT). For expanded files: the descriptor does not exist on all component files.

On open systems, this error may occur during ADAREC generate if one of the following occurs:

  • A file was loaded with an incorrect FDT.

  • ADAINV was not reexecuted following a stop at a SYNP checkpoint.

In an ACB, the leftmost two bytes of Additions 2 may contain the descriptor name; in an ACBX, the Error Character Field (ACBXERRB) may contain the descriptor name. If this occurred for an expanded file, check to see if there is an FDT mismatch between the components of the file.

On open systems, bytes 3 and 4 of the Additions 2 field contains the name of the descriptor that caused the error.

Action

On open systems, if the error is not a handling error, run the INDEX option of ADAVFY and contact your Software AG technical support representative.


Response 166

Explanation

On mainframe systems, an ISN was less than the MINISN or greater than the MAXISN setting in effect for the file.

On open systems, the maximum possible ISN of the file was reached and no more can be allocated.

Action

On open systems, if the file contains significantly less than 232 records, you should unload the file with ADAULD and reload it with ADAMUP without USERISN. However, you must be aware that problems may arise if the ISNs have semantics for you - if, for example, you use the ISNs to reference records in this file, additional reorganization of these references will be necessary. The alternative to unloading and reloading the data is to split up your data into more than one file, and to adapt your application accordingly.

Explanation

ID table not found (SVC not properly installed).

Note:
If you are running with Entire Net-Work, the leftmost two bytes of the Additions 2 field (in the ACB) or the ACBXERRC field (in the ACBX) may contain the ID of the Entire Net-Work node that issued this response code.

The following table describes the possible subcodes that might occur if an Adabas DBID/SVC routing table error occurs:

Subcode Meaning
16 The specified SVC number does not correspond to a currently installed SVC on the z/OS or z/VSE system. Check to be sure that the specified SVC number is correct and, if it is, ensure that an Adabas SVC is installed using that SVC number.
20 The specified SVC number corresponds to an installed SVC on the z/OS or z/VSE system, but the SVC is not an Adabas SVC. Ensure that the provided SVC number is correct and, if it is, determine why the SVC installed for that number is not an Adabas SVC for z/OS or z/VSE.
Action

Inform the DBA. The Adabas installation procedure was not properly executed.


Response 214
Origin Mainframe systems only
Explanation

Internal command issued from Adabas version 4 Adalink.


Response 215
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

On mainframe systems, an SVC 04/16 call was received from Adabas version 4 Adalink, with Adabas version 5/6/7 UB or AMODE=31.

On open systems, the Adabas interface (adalnkx, adalnk, adalnknc) used by the application program, or the Entire Net-Work version used is not supported by the Adabas nucleus. For example, the Adabas nucleus Version 6.1 does not support the Adabas interface of Version 5.1. If a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version of Adabas exists for an operating system, the 64-bit nucleus does not support the Adabas interface of the 32-bit version - 32-bit applications must use the 32-bit mode Adabas interface of the 64-bit version.

Note:
The compatible Entire Net-Work versions supported by an Adabas open systems version are documented in the Adabas open systems Release Notes.

Action

On open systems, if you are using an incompatible version of Entire Net-Work, upgrade it to a compatible version. Check the definition of the environment variable PATH (Windows) or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (UNIX). If the application has been linked with the s-bit on UNIX, it is necessary that the correct Adabas interface has been installed with $SAG = /opt/softwareag.

Response 218
Origin Mainframe systems only
Explanation

The following table describes the subcodes that appear with this response code, clarifying why the response was received.

Subcode Meaning
X'00' (00) The UB (TP monitor user block) pool is too small. There must be at least one user block for each concurrent user. This is controlled by the TP monitor link routines. The GETMAIN for the UB failed.
X'48' (72) An IPC message call parameter error occurred. This may indicate an internal product error or a TP-monitor storage overlay. Contact Software AG technical support for assistance.
X'49' (73) The IPC message caller did not provide a pointer to the extended user ID block. This is probably an internal product error. Contact Software AG technical support.
X'4C' (76) The extended user ID data provided to the IPC Message Call is either binary zeroes or blank. This is probably and internal product error. Contact Software AG technical support.
X'4D' (77) A getmain failed for the work area used in an IPC Message Call. Determine why the TP monitor is running short of storage. The storage will be acquired in the AMODE of the calling program, usually 31-bit for Natural transactions.
Action

Increase the UB pool by respecifying the NUBS parameter in the link routines. See the ADAGSET macro information in the Adabas Installation documentation.


Response 219
Origin Mainframe systems only
Explanation

This response code should only occur when Adabas Transaction Manager is being used.

Subcode Meaning
2 The global transaction is not in the status that allows the call.
3 Two transaction ID (XID) entries exist.
4 The "R" and "J" options are not supported; or this is not a global transaction. The transaction ID (XID) does not exist or cannot be found (or example, when the given XID does not belong to the UQE).
5 The record or value buffer definition may be invalid; for example, the length size may be invalid (less than or equal to 144 bytes); or the value buffer content may be invalid; for example, it may not contain a valid transaction ID (XID).
6 The user is not an update or ET user or is already involved in a global transaction or the user is already on PET (preliminary end-of-transaction) status.
7 A protocol error occurred: The user has been copied to Work 4 or the transaction was backed out.
8 A protocol error occurred: The transaction was terminated or the user has no transaction ID (XID) or the recover call for an active user is not permitted.
9 The system is currently locked due to a pending Work area 4 or DDWORKR4 overflow.
10 The call is not permitted; either ADAEND or an ET-sync point is in process for the nucleus. Force the ATM nucleus to backout (BT) the transaction.
11 The user has not made any updates. A preliminary ET command, therefore, is not permitted.
12 A logic error occurred.
20 The transaction ID (XID) is unknown. This error occurs only in a cluster environment.

Response 220
Origin Mainframe systems only
Explanation

The request was rejected by Entire Net-Work due to a shortage of short term buffers.

Note:
If you are running with Entire Net-Work, the leftmost two bytes of the Additions 2 field (in the ACB) or the ACBXERRC field (in the ACBX) may contain the ID of the Entire Net-Work node that issued this response code.

Action

For BS2000 systems running Sockets 2.2 or later, check the address space limit using the SHOW-USER-ATTRIBUTES command in the field ADDRESS-SPACE-LIMIT (the value is in megabytes). If necessary, increase it using the MODIFY-USER-ATTRIBUTES command from a privileged user ID.

For BS2000 systems running Sockets 2.1 or earlier, increase the CMSIZE parameter to enlarge the common memory pool, as long as there is enough room in the address space. Then restart Entire Net-Work.

For z/OS and z/VSE, increase the region size.


Response 221
Origin Mainframe systems only
Explanation

The LU size of the remote partner is smaller than the size required for the Adabas request.

Action

Either increase the size specified for the LU= parameter on the remote system, or modify the application to reduce its buffer sizes.

Response 224
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

An Adabas command has been timed out by Entire Net-Work. The request waited for a reply for a longer time period than specified by the REPLYTIM parameter in either the Entire Net-Work NODE statement or the SET operator command. The reply may be delayed or lost due to a target malfunction, or because of a connecting link failure. If you are using Natural, and all connections are verified, check the ADAMODE setting. The ADAMODE=0 setting is the only option Entire Net-Work supports.

Action

Check the node and remote database or contact your database administrator for assistance.


Response 225
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

A command was issued from a server, such as an Adabas nucleus, to another server, such as Entire Net-Work. The command did not complete within a prescribed time period. The issuer proceeds and no longer expects a response to the command.

Note that the command may still execute in the target. There will be no notification to the issuer if it does. The target may display message ADAM92, User Gone, if the target attempts to notify the issuer of command completion.

The subcode identifies the environment from which the command was issued.

Subcode Issuer
1 ADAMPM
2 Adabas nucleus, thread-synchronous command
3 Adabas nucleus, not thread-synchronous. Under z/OS, the command was TCB-synchronous.
Action

Contact your Software AG technical support representative for assistance if the reason for the command's failure to complete cannot be identified.

Response 251
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

On mainframe systems, an error occurred in Adabas cluster processing. Under certain conditions, the Adabas cluster SVC (SVCCLU) component of the ADASVC returns response code 251 in the ACB's response code field, along with a hexadecimal subcode (listed below in decimal) in the low-order (rightmost) two bytes of the Additions 2 field. In the case of an ACBX, the ADASVC returns response code 251 in the ACBX's Response Code (ACBXRSP) field and the subcode in the Error Subcode (ACBXERRC) field.

  • If the local SVCCLU detects the condition, the subcode will range from 2 through 30.

  • If a remote SVCCLU detects the condition, it will range from 102 through 130.

Note:
If you are running with Entire Net-Work, the leftmost two bytes of the Additions 2 field (in the ACB) or the ACBXERRC field (in the ACBX) may contain the ID of the Entire Net-Work node that issued this response code.

Subcode Meaning
2 The remote cluster nucleus to which the user is assigned cannot be accessed.
4 There are no user table entries (UTEs) available for use.
5 Internal error. The nucleus specified by an internal command was not found.
7 Internal error. The user was assigned to a remote nucleus by the local system but the remote system found that the nucleus was not active.
9 Internal error. The 28-byte user ID is all zeros.
17 Entire Net-Work is not active.
19 Internal error. Invalid internal command code.
20 Remote nuclei are active; command must be assigned remotely but the remote nuclei are not accepting commands.
21 The remote image to which the user is assigned has no usable nuclei.
22 An attempt was made to assign a user remotely but Entire Net-Work is not active.
27 Internal error.
28 Version mismatch between the PLXCB and the SVCCLU part of the ADASVC.
29 Probably, you used a NUCID value from a restricted range. Otherwise, this is an internal error.

Action: Ensure that the NUCID assignments are valid.

30 More than 32 NUCIDs were detected for the same SVC/DBID combination.

Action: Reduce the number of NUCIDs on the SVC/DBID to 32.

On open systems, an invalid utility call - versions conflict occurred.

Action

For internal errors on mainframe systems, contact your Software AG technical support representative. For all other mainframe errors except as noted, contact your systems administrator.

On open systems, check whether the utilities and database nuclei are of the same version. Contact your Software AG technical support representative for assistance.

On open systems, check the system files by running ADAVFY.


Response 254
Origin Mainframe systems only
Explanation

A validation error occurred during command completion processing while attempting to return results to the caller.

One of the following has occurred:

  • An internal error occurred during processing of an attached buffer (buffer overflow)

  • The CT parameter limit was exceeded. Message ADAM93 (or a similar message) is printed or displayed on the console.

    If the CT parameter limit was exceeded, the nucleus terminated the user, generated the equivalent of a BT command internally, released the CQE and attached buffer space, and issued ADAM93 (or a similar message).

    If the user was not terminated, the subcode in the right-most two bytes of the ACB's Additions 2 field or the subcode in the ACBX's Error Subcode (ACBXERRC) field describes the failed validity check.

Note:
If you are running with Entire Net-Work, the leftmost two bytes of the Additions 2 field (in the ACB) or the ACBXERRC field (in the ACBX) may contain the ID of the Entire Net-Work node that issued this response code.

Subcode Meaning
1 UBCQEX is less than or equal to zero
2 UBCQEX is greater than CQHNCQES
3 CQEFLAG is not equal to CQEFAB plus CQEFW16
4 CQEAUB is not equal to A'UB
5 CQEAUPL is not equal to A'APL
6 The low-order 6 bytes of CQECKSUM does not equal UBCKSUM
7 CQE was timed out
8 An inconsistency in the CQE such as the following: The CQE was unexpectedly taken by another call The user buffer (UB) is not receiving expected user information The target move data length is inconsistent
9 Record buffer overflow
10 ISN buffer overflow
11 Inconsistent format buffer length
12 Inconsistent search buffer length
13 Inconsistent value buffer length
14 Inconsistent user buffer length
15 Invalid attached buffer ABD index (internal logic error)
16 Buffer overflow; see ACBXERRD and ACBXERRE
Action

Ensure that the caller’s control structures and parameters are not altered while the command is being processed. If you are unable to resolve the error, notify your Software AG support representative.


Response 255
Origin Mainframe and open systems
Explanation

On mainframe systems, all attached buffers were allocated at the time the command was processed. Buffer allocation (NAB) "high water marks" may not reflect this condition when no buffer allocation occurs.

Note:
If you are running with Entire Net-Work, the leftmost two bytes of the Additions 2 field (in the ACB) or the ACBXERRC field (in the ACBX) may contain the ID of the Entire Net-Work node that issued this response code.

On open systems, the Adabas command could not be processed because not enough Adabas nucleus or operating system resources are available. The value in the first two bytes of the Additions 2 field indicates the reason (2-byte binary format).

Action

On open systems, perform the following actions, based on the subcode:

Subcode Action
1 No space is available for the attached buffers. Increase the LAB (length of attached buffers) parameter.
2 No space is available in the client ID table. Increase the NCL (number of client threads) parameter.
3 Message queue generation failed. Increase the corresponding operating system parameters (please refer to the Adabas open systems installation documentation for further information).
4-6 An internal error occurred; an unexpected response code was received from a system function. Contact your Software AG technical support representative.
7 (only with ADALNKX) The ADAMPLNK executable could not be loaded. Make this module available.
8 No space is available for extended attached buffers. Increase the value of the LABX (length of extended attached buffers) parameter.
