Natural System Error Messages 0951-1000

NAT0951: Normal end of execution.

Text Normal end of execution.
Expl. This message indicates the successful execution or completion
of a Natural batch job.
Actn. No action required.

NAT0952: Database loop processing limit exceeded.

Text Database loop processing limit exceeded.
Expl. The processing limit of a HISTOGRAM/FIND/READ database loop is
specified via a numeric constant or a numeric user-defined variable.
When this limit is exceeded, this does not necessarily indicate an
error condition; however, the records which met the search criteria
in a database loop but which are beyond the limit have not been
processed.
Note: The general limit for processing loops may also be set with the
Natural session parameter LT.
Actn. Increase the limit value or ignore this error message.

NAT0953: Time limit exceeded.

Text Time limit exceeded.
Expl. In TP mode, this message means that the time-out parameter specified
for the TP monitor at system generation time is not sufficient to
handle current program requirements. In batch mode, after determining
that the program is not in an endless loop, the MT parameter (via a
SET GLOBALS statement or GLOBALS command) can be used to increase the
CPU-time factor.
Actn. Check program and correct it if necessary.
If program is correct, contact your Natural administrator.

NAT0954: Abnormal termination :1: during program execution.

Text Abnormal termination ... during program execution.
Expl. An abnormal termination has occurred during the
execution of a Natural object program.
A common cause of this error is the use of an arithmetic operand
which does not contain valid numeric data at execution time.
Actn. Check program and correct error.

NAT0955: Abnormal termination :1: during program compilation.

Text Abnormal termination ... during program compilation.
Expl. An internal abnormal termination has occurred during
the Natural syntax/compilation phase.
Actn. Contact your Natural administrator.

NAT0956: Abnormal termination :1: during command analysis.

Text Abnormal termination ... during command analysis.
Expl. An abnormal termination of the Natural system has occurred during
the evaluation of a command.
Actn. Contact your Natural administrator.

NAT0957: Database loop limit reached with "LE=ON".

Text Database loop limit reached with "LE=ON".
Expl. The limit specified for a database processing loop in a FIND, READ or
HISTOGRAM statement was reached.
This leads to a termination of the loop statement and the program flow
continues normally with the statement following the aborted loop. At
the end of the program, error message NAT0957 is encountered, if
parameter "LE=ON" is set.
The limit may be either set with an explicit value supplied in the
database loop statement (e.g. FIND (10) ..) or, if no explicit limit
was given, globally in a program with the LIMIT statement
(e.g. LIMIT 10).
In batch mode, Natural will continue processing only if the session
parameter CC is set to "OFF".
Actn. Increase the limit value or set "LE=OFF".

NAT0958: Invalid usage of ODA (object data area) in method :1:.

Text Invalid usage of ODA (object data area) in method ....
Expl. Object data areas (ODAs) are defined in methods to use class-specific
data. If an ODA is defined in a subprogram, this subprogram can only be
called as a method of a class (statement SEND METHOD). Also the ODA
defined in a method must be compatible to the ODA defined in the class.
The method is either being called without using SEND METHOD, or the
ODA defined in the method contains a different number of variables
than the ODA defined in the class.
Actn. Activate the method using SEND METHOD. Ensure that the ODA defined in
the method contains the same number of variables as the ODA defined
in the class.

NAT0959: Inconsistent ODA structure in class :1: and method :2: (:3:).

Text Inconsistent ODA structure in class ... and method ... (...).
Expl. Object data areas (ODAs) are defined in methods to use class-specific
data. Therefore, the structure of the ODA defined in the class must
match the structure of the ODA defined in the method.
An inconsistency was detected for the variable shown in brackets.
Actn. Ensure that the variables contained in the ODA of a method and its
class have the same format and length.

NAT0960: SAVE/CATALOG/PURGE/UNCATALOG terminated unsuccessfully.

Text SAVE/CATALOG/PURGE/UNCATALOG terminated unsuccessfully.
Expl. The operation was attempted repeatedly and a
response code of "9" for transaction back-out
was received from Adabas when XREF data
were processed.
Actn. Ask your Natural administrator to review the maximum transaction
duration time setting for Adabas.

NAT0961: Concurrent SAVE/CAT/PURGE/UNCAT; or hold queue full.

Text Concurrent SAVE/CAT/PURGE/UNCAT; or hold queue full.
Expl. The same source program/object module is currently being processed
for update by another user.
This error condition can also be produced when Adabas response code
"145" is received while attempting to delete the "old" copy of the
Natural source or object program. A common reason for this error is
an overflow of the Adabas hold queue.
Actn. Retry operation later.
If problem persists, notify your Natural administrator.

NAT0962: Invalid access to Natural system library.

Text Invalid access to Natural system library.
Expl. An attempt was made to access/replace a program in the Natural system
library "SYSLIB". The use of "SYSLIB" is restricted to Natural system
routines; a user must not use library ID "SYSLIB".
Actn. Do not attempt to access the system library "SYSLIB".

Expl. While returning the value of parameter :1:, which was defined with the
attributes BY VALUE RESULT in object :3: (of type :2:, loaded from
library :4: from database :5: file number :6:), a conversion error
has occurred.
Check if the current value complies with the "Rules for Arithmetic
Assignment" described in the Natural documentation.
Actn. Correct error in program.

NAT0966: ConvError assign BY VALUE parameter :1: (:2: :3:/:4:/:5:/:6:)

Text Convs. error assigning BY VALUE parameter :1: (:2: :3:/:4:/:5:/:6:)
Expl. During assignment of the value of parameter :1:, which is defined with
the attributes BY VALUE (RESULT) in object :3: (of type :2:, loaded
from library :4: from database :5: file number :6:), a conversion error
has occurred.

loaded from library :4:, database :5:, file number :6:) is
a mandatory one.
However, the corresponding parameter was not passed by the calling
object.
Actn. Check program and correct the error.

NAT0969: Dynamic parameter :1: mismatch (:2: :3:/:4:/:5:/:6:).

Text Dynamic parameter :1: mismatch (:2: :3:/:4:/:5:/:6:).
Expl. The parameter defined at position :1: in object :3: (of type :2:,
loaded from library :4:, database :5:, file number :6:) does
not match with the corresponding parameter used to invoke it.
The parameters, which are used by reference, must be either dynamic in
both caller and declaration, or non-dynamic in both caller and
declaration.
Actn. Check programs and correct the error.

NAT0970: Source line limit for program creation is zero.
