NAT6951: Procedure in dynamically loaded library could not be found.

Text Procedure in dynamically loaded library could not be found.
Expl. A procedure required at run time could not be found in a dynamically
loaded library.
Actn. Check system search path for dynamically loaded libraries. In
particular, check that the system is not loading any libraries from a
different Natural version to the one which is currently running.

NAT6952: Natural Reporter function did not complete successfully.

Text Natural Reporter function did not complete successfully.
Expl. The Natural Reporter failed to carry out the requested function
successfully.
Check the documentation to ensure that the requested function is being
used correctly. Can the series of operations being performed by the
program be carried out successfully by hand from within the Reporter
when used standalone? If so, has OLE been installed correctly? If the
cause of the problem still cannot be found, contact Software AG support.
Actn. see explanation

NAT6953: Natural/Reporter Interface not initialized.

Text Natural/Reporter Interface not initialized.
Expl. An attempt was made to call a Natural/Reporter interface function
without first initializing the interface. Either no initializing
call has been made, or a call to terminate the interface has been
performed, in which case the interface needs to be re-initialized.
Note that it is only necessary to initialize and terminate the
Natural/Reporter interface once per Natural session.
Actn. Modify program to include a statement to (re-)initialize the
Natural/Reporter interface.

NAT6954: Requested report could not be found.

Text Requested report could not be found.
Expl. If the report is specified by name (i.e., an OPEN request), the
specified report could not be located in the file system. Otherwise,
the specified report ID is not valid.
Check that the report name contains no path or file extension
information, is not longer than 8 characters, and exists in the
NATGUI̲BMP path as specified in the SAG.INI file. Or check that the
report ID corresponds to a valid ID, as returned by a previous OPEN
(for example, check the response code from the OPEN to verify that
the report was opened correctly). Confirm that no CLOSE request has
been issued against this report in the meantime!
Actn. see explanation

NAT6955: Too many active reports.

Text Too many active reports.
Expl. The maximum number of reports concurrently maintainable by the
Natural/Reporter Interface has been reached.
Actn. Modify program to issue a CLOSE request for each report as soon as it
is no longer needed, or if it will probably not be used again for a
significant length of time.

NAT6956: Invalid parameter(s).

Text Invalid parameter(s).
Expl. This error can have various causes:
- the number of parameters supplied is incorrect
- one or more mandatory parameters were not supplied
- one or more parameters were specified with an incorrect format
and/or length
Actn. Check the parameters used in the program against the documentation.

NAT6957: Invalid print device

Text Invalid print device
Expl. Either the specified printer has not been set up in NATPARM, or it
is not associated with the TTY print method.
Actn. Check the printer settings via the Printer Configuration dialog in
NATPARM.

NAT6958: Invalid work file

Text Invalid work file
Expl. Either the specified work file has not been set up (statically in
NATPARM or dynamically via DEFINE WORK FILE), or the file does not
exist, or it is not a Natural CONNECTION (*.NCD) work file.
Actn. Check work file name against the above criteria

NAT6959: Failed to save resources to private resource file.

Text Failed to save resources to private resource file.
Expl. Along with the dialog source, resources needed to be saved. This action
failed.
Possible reasons:
- Problems to access the current library
- Problems accessing/creating the resource directory in the
current library
- Problems writing/appending to the private resource file
- Problems executing dynamic functions
- Memory problems
Actn. Check the subdirectories of the library the dialog was saved in. If you
cannot solve the problem there, contact Software AG support.

NAT6960: Unable to import (private) resource :1: into library :2:.

Text Unable to import (private) resource ... into library ....
Expl. The importing of a resource failed. If the resource is a private
resource, the corresponding object to which the private resource belongs
must be present in the library and its type must be the same as
the type of the private resource.
Actn. Resolve the type conflict by either importing the appropriate resource
and/or by first replacing the corresponding Natural object in the
target library. If in doubt, contact Software AG support.

NAT6976: Context error on :1:, reason :2: :3:.

Text Context error on ..., reason ... ....
Expl. Reason: 1: Context size overflow.
The storage for the variables of the DEFINE DATA CONTEXT
statement could not be allocated.
On mainframe computers, the CONTEXT buffer could not be
allocated or increased. This is either caused by storage
restrictions of the operating or TP system, or by Natural
environment constraints (Natural profile parameter OVSIZE,
NATCONFG table entry NTBUFID for CONTEXT buffer).
On Windows and UNIX systems, the USIZE buffer was not large
enough to fulfil the storage request.

in the message.
3: RPC protocol header is invalid. After the reason, the
corresponding EntireX error number is indicated in the
message.
Actn. Use the correct RPC protocol version.
Refer to the EntireX messages.

NAT6979: Premature termination of a remote CALLNAT.

Text Premature termination of a remote CALLNAT.
Expl. The remote execution of a CALLNAT was prematurely terminated on the
server side and all data of the parameter area were lost. The reason
for this may be the use of one of the following Natural statements:
- STOP
- FETCH
- ESCAPE BOTTOM outside of a processing loop
- RUN
- TERMINATE
Note: These statements will be disabled in a remotely executed CALLNAT
in one of the next Natural versions.
Actn. Do not use one of the listed statements in a remotely executed CALLNAT.
