NAT3513: Not enough storage for Natural VSAM in table :1:.

Text Not enough storage for Natural VSAM in table ....
Expl. One of the Natural for VSAM internal tables, defined as fixed
buffer type, is too small. The eye-catcher of the internal
table which is too small is indicated in the variable.

ascertain which parameter has to be adjusted in NVSPARM.

NAT3514: Record to be updated is not in "hold" status.

Text Record to be updated is not in "hold" status.
Expl. An UPDATE statement was issued for a record which was not in
"hold" status.

referring to a FIND FIRST statement which found nothing.
Actn. Correct program or provide other search criteria.

NAT3515: UPD table is full.

Text UPD table is full.
Expl. A record has been read for update. Natural for VSAM tried to save
the appropriate fields in its UPD table, but received a response
indicating that the UPD table was not large enough to contain the
fields.

and an UPDATE is therefore not possible.
Actn. In this case, use native AIX file processing.

Text Maximum VSAM record length exceeded at insertion/update.
Expl. Insertion/updating was requested for a record which is longer than the
permitted maximum; or an attempt was made to increase the length of a

NAT3538: Response from CICS: INVREQ.

Text Response from CICS: INVREQ.
Expl. The statement is not allowed according to the dataset entry
specification in the CICS File Control Table (FCT).
If the Natural session runs with DU=ON, a NV63 ABEND with a
transaction dump is forced in instead of NAT3538.
Actn. Use CEDF to examine the cause of this problem, or start your session
with DU=ON and analyze the trace table in the dump.

NAT3539: File :1: not :2:, :3:.

than the minimum record size.
For an AIX file, the record length was not sufficient to contain the new
alternate index key pointer.
Actn. Check DDM and VSAM file definitions.
If the file is a member of an UPGRADE set, increase the max. CI size
or enlarge the file.

NAT3544: END of TRANSACTION not successful, RC: :1:.

Text END of TRANSACTION not successful, RC: ....
Expl. Under CICS, this error may be caused, for example, by a failure in the
synchronization of remote systems.
In DFSMStvs, a program or environmental error has occurred, or the
Resource Recovery Service (RRS) is not available.
Actn. Under CICS, use CEDF to determine the cause of this error.
In DFSMStvs, refer to the IBM documentation on Callable RRS.

NAT3545: BACKOUT TRANSACTION not successful, RC: :1:.

Text BACKOUT TRANSACTION not successful, RC: ....
Expl. Under CICS, this error may be caused, for example, by a failure in the
synchronization of remote systems.
In DFSMStvs, a program or environmental error has occurred, or the
Resource Recovery Service (RRS) is not available.
Actn. Under CICS, use CEDF to determine the cause of this error.
In DFSMStvs, refer to the IBM documentation on Callable RRS.

NAT3546: File :1: opened for input, :2: not allowed.

Text File ... opened for input, ... not allowed.
Actn. Either set OPRB parameter to "O" (for output) for this database,
or omit OPRB parameter.
Check the NATPARM parameter NTDB for a READ option.

NAT3547: Overflow of FCT table.

Text Overflow of FCT table.
Expl. Natural for VSAM"s internal file control table is full.
Actn. Increase parameter TAFE in NVSPARM module.

NAT3548: Now it is too late for BACKOUT TRANSACTION.

Text Now it is too late for BACKOUT TRANSACTION.
Expl. The program contains a design error: it attempts to backout updates
which have already been committed.
The most likely reason is that a terminal I/O has forced the end of
the logical transaction; that is, internally a SYNCPOINT command has
already been executed by the TP monitor at the time when the BACKOUT
TRANSACTION statement is executed.
Nevertheless, Natural VSAM has executed a BACKOUT TRANSACTION. This
means that the actual scope of the BACKOUT TRANSACTION is different
from the expected one.
Actn. Correct error in program.

NAT3549: Working storage for user exit :1: cannot be allocated.

Text Working storage for user exit ... cannot be allocated.
Expl. Overflow on Natural internal buffer CFWSIZE.
Actn. Contact Software AG support.

NAT3550: DDM :1: not found in the system file.

Text DDM ... not found in the system file.
Expl. Natural for VSAM also uses the DDM at execution;
however, at execution time the required DDM was not existent on
the current FDIC system file.
Actn. Contact your Natural administrator.
