| Text | Entire DB Request Handler not loaded or cannot be found. |
| Expl. |
The Entire DB Request Handler is contained for Natural Version 2.1 in the module "AERNAT", and for Natural Version 2.2 in the module "NATDREQ". Most likely, this module is not linked to Natural. |
| Actn. |
Check the link job and re-link Natural with the required module. |
| Text | Entire cannot be initialized. |
| Expl. |
The cause is either that - there was not enough space to satisfy the request; - the Entire buffer (ZSIZE) is too small - minimum is 44; - the Adabas/Entire nucleus (AERNUC) is not accessible, because it is not linked or cannot be loaded dynamically. |
| Actn. |

| Text | Invalid function code for Entire. |
| Expl. |
Entire has received a control block (same format as Adabas) which has a function code field (offset 2 in the CB) that cannot be interpreted by Entire. This is most likely caused by an incompatibility of systems and/or overwriting of the Entire work area. |
| Actn. |
Produce an application dump and contact Software AG support. |
| Text | Entire version incompatibility. |
| Expl. |
This is caused by linking the interface CSECT DDIPFNAT (AERNUC) with another version of the initialization module ADDINIT (AERNAT). |
| Actn. |

| Text | Length indicator cannot be referenced in UPDATE or STORE. |
| Expl. |
A length indicator field may be used to retrieve the length of an Adabas Long-Alpha or LOB field (LA/LOB) in a read (READ/FIND) operation. It must not be referenced in a view used in a STORE or UPDATE statement. Example: DEFINE DATA LOCAL 1 V1 V1 VIEW OF MYFILE 2 L@LA-FIELD (I4) <-- Length indicator field 2 LA-FIELD (A) DYNAMIC END-DEFINE STORE V1 If an LA or LOB field is part of the STORE/UPDATE field list,the corresponding length field information is automatically added by the Natural runtime system, based on the current length of the dynamic variable. To prevent a duplicate length setting for the same LA/LOB field, length fields are not allowed in the STORE/UPDATE fields. |
| Actn. |
LA/LOB field, length fields are not allowed in the STORE/UPDATE fields.
Remove length fields from data view used in UPDATE or STORE. |
| Text | Index missing for sub-/super-descriptor field .... |
| Expl. |
A sub-/super-descriptor field containing a periodic-group field (or parts thereof) was specified in a data view without index. This is not permitted by Adabas for database calls other than HISTOGRAM (L9). With a HISTOGRAM you cannot read more than a single field. This view definition consists of multiple fields and thus cannot be used for a HISTOGRAM. Furthermore, due to the missing index, it cannot be used for other database calls. What to do? 1. Reduce the number of view fields to only the sub-/super-descriptor - without index to make the view usable for HISTOGRAM only; - with an index to make the view usable for all browsing statements. 2. If multiple fields are defined in the view, supply an index or index-range for the sub-/super-descriptor to make it usable for all database browsing statements other than HISTOGRAM. |
| Actn. |
database browsing statements other than HISTOGRAM.
See description. |
| Text | Field structure of view ... only usable for HISTOGRAM. |
| Expl. |
The view referenced is only applicable to a HISTOGRAM statement, as it consists of only a single sub-/super-descriptor field containing a periodic-group field (or parts thereof) without an index specification. This is not permitted by Adabas and will cause Adabas errors when used with a database statement other than HISTOGRAM. |
| Actn. |
Supply index or index-range for the sub-/super-descriptor field, or use the view only for HISTOGRAM statements. |
