Text | Delimiter settings are ambiguous. |
Expl. | Either the same delimiter is defined more than once, or more than one delimiter is defined for the same class/attribute. |
Actn. | Check the delimiter settings and correct error. |
Text | Variable field has to be named. |
Expl. | A field which is defined directly on the screen (i.e., not
selected from a view) must be subsequently assigned the attributes of a view field (post assignment); or must be assigned a name directly, using the extended field editing function. |
Actn. | Use either post assignment or extended field editing to assign a name to the field. |
Text | Select either "WRITE" or "INPUT". |
Expl. | This error message may be caused by the following: - Neither WRITE nor INPUT has been marked. - Both WRITE and INPUT have been marked. |
Actn. | Correct error. |

Expl. | A delimiter must not be the same character as the control
character or the decimal character defined in the profile settings. |
Actn. | Use another special character as the delimiter. |
Text | "DY" option is invalid. |
Expl. | The "DY" option must consist of alternating escape
characters and attribute/color codes. Valid escape characters are all special characters and hexadecimal elements. Examples: <i> (intensify by "<" ) <re> (red by "<" ) <bl:re> (blue by "<", red by ":" ) "27p"28 (protected by "27 ) |
Actn. | Correct error. |

Actn. | Use another profile or another layout. |
Text | Do not use help-text layout for map, or vice versa. |
Expl. | This message may be caused by one of the following: - The layout was initialized with "H" and the current map with "I". - The layout was initialized with "I" and the current map with "H". |
Actn. | Use another layout or the other initialization function. |
Text | Print mode setting is incorrect. |
Expl. | The following codes may be chosen for print mode: I - inversion of print direction C - alternate character set N - field will not appear in hardcopy D - double-byte character mode. Attribute combinations may be used. |
Actn. | Correct error. |
Text | Invalid modification of map settings. |
Expl. | This error message may be caused if a class/attribute combination for delimiters was specified in the old map settings and is not specified in the new settings. |
Actn. | Check settings and correct error. |
Text | "Move" target is within command working range. |
Expl. | A "move" line command was issued for a block of lines and the cursor was positioned to a line within that block. |
Actn. | Change cursor position or line range. |
Text | An object with the same name already exists. |
Expl. | During initialization of a map or a helptext, a name was specified which is already used by another object in the library. This error may also occur in the STOW or SAVE function, if a name is explicitly specified. |
Actn. | Change map name or scratch existing object. |
Text | Specified object does not exist, or is not a map/helptext. |
Expl. | The specified map name is wrong. A map or a helptext with the specified name does not exist; or the referenced object is neither a map nor a helptext. |
Actn. | Change map name or use initialize function. |
Text | Device specification is missing. |
Expl. | The device specified with the device check field was not defined using the maintenance function; or the MODIFY or DELETE function was used for a non-existing device specification. |

Text | Device specification already exists. |
Expl. | The specification of the device already exists. |
Actn. | Use the MODIFY function. |
Text | Device name is missing. |
Expl. | The name of the device specification to be added, modified or deleted is missing. |
Actn. | Enter a device name. |
Text | Attribute does not match device characteristics. |
Expl. | The device check was enabled by entering a device name which does not support the defined attributes. The cursor is positioned to the attribute which is in conflict with the specified device. |
Actn. | Change attribute or disable device check. |
Text | Layout does not exist. |
Expl. | A layout map or a layout help text was specified in the map
settings or the profile, but the layout does not exist as a source map. |

Text | Validation rule priority already exists. |
Expl. | An attempt was made to change the priority of a validation rule, but a validation rule for this field with the specified priority already exists. |
Actn. | Use another priority. |
Text | Field is not an array. |
Expl. | Before applying index parentheses to a field name, the field must
be defined as an array by using the command ".A" or "..A". |
Actn. | Remove index parentheses. |
Text | Do not apply ".A" command to a scalar value. |
Expl. | The array field command or the array line command cannot be used with elementary database fields or with system variables. Validation rules are not allowed for system variables. |
Actn. | Do not use an array, or define a user-defined variable. |
Text | Helproutine for a helptext or WRITE map is not allowed. |
Expl. | A helproutine name may only be specified with maps, not with
helptexts. If the map is to be used in a WRITE USING MAP statement, a helproutine name must not be specified. |
Actn. | Correct error. |
Text | STOW command executed successfully. |
Expl. | The map was successfully saved and cataloged. |
Actn. | No action required. |
Text | Direct command was executed. |

Actn. | Do not use this feature. |
Text | Conflict between processing rules. |
Expl. | This error occurs if a field was first defined as a user-defined
or or undefined field, and processing rules were assigned to that field by the user; if this field is then post-assigned to a database field, and the dictionary contains processing rules for that database field on ranks which are already occupied by the user-defined rules, this conflict occurs. |
Actn. | Check user rules. |
Text | Consistency error in dictionary. |
Expl. | During definition or retrieval of processing rules, a consistency error within the dictionary"s processing rules was discovered. |
Actn. | Contact your dictionary administrator. |
Text | Processing rule already exists. |
