necessary, correct it. If this has no effect, delete any directories
that are no longer needed.

database which is long enough to hold all the information, and load the
information into that field.

NAT6355: The fields are not compatible with the Natural CONNECTION file.

Text The fields are not compatible with the Natural CONNECTION file.
Expl. The formats or lengths of the fields you specified do not match the
fields in the Natural CONNECTION file.

Natural mode (Adabas mode for packed fields).
Actn. Enter a length within this range.

NAT6361: No more memory is available.

Text No more memory is available.
Expl. Either the operating system is not configured correctly or there is not
enough space on the disc for the system swap file. Another possibility
is that the internal Natural buffer sizes USIZE and SSIZE are too small.
Check the configuration settings of the operating system and correct
them if neccessary. Then check the available disk space for your system
swap file. Additionally, check your USIZE and SSIZE settings within
NATPARM and enlarge them if they seems to be too small.
Actn. Please contact your system administrator for further help.

NAT6374: Multiple field type not possible for normal database field.

Text Multiple field type not possible for normal database field.
Expl. When a database field is defined as a normal field, you cannot
define it as a multiple field within the DDM. If you do so, a format
buffer error occurs, when you try to read the contents of this
field.
Actn. No action is required. The editor automatically corrects this error.

NAT6375: The DDM cannot be checked against the database file description.

Text The DDM cannot be checked against the database file description.
Expl. When you check a DDM, first the syntax of all DDM fields is checked.
Then the DDM fields are checked against the
corresponding file description (DBID and FNR within the header).

NAT6377: The DDM has a database type which cannot be processed.

Text The DDM has a database type which cannot be processed.
Expl. When you try to include a DDM as a template of a FDT, the database
type of the DDM must be supported within the utility to process
this DDM. For example, you try to include a DDM which is defined for
Entire DB. This DDM cannot be included in the FDT editor, because
the editor only processes Adabas FDTs.

internal SQL error occurred.
Actn. See your SQL documentation for further information about error codes.

NAT6382: The DDM cannot be checked against the SQL table.

Text The DDM cannot be checked against the SQL table.
Expl. When you check a DDM, all DDM fields are checked for syntactical
correctness. However, NO check against the SQL table can be made
within the DDM editor, because after the generation of the DDM,
the connection to the SQL database is closed.
Actn. See your SQL documentation for further information about possible
modifications.

NAT6383: When editing SQL DDMs, no verification tests are performed.

Text When editing SQL DDMs, no verification tests are performed.
Expl. When you edit a DDM, all DDM fields are read into the edit area.
However, NO check against the SQL table can be made within the
DDM editor, because NO connection to the SQL database will be
established.
Actn. See your SQL documentation for further information about possible
modifications.

NAT6384: SQL table lists are not provided for this database system.

Text SQL table lists are not provided for this database system.
Expl. It is not possible to show the SQL table list, because Entire ACCESS
does not provide catalog information for this database system.
Actn. Enter the desired table owner and table name (no wildcards possible).

NAT6385: No SQL tables found.

Text No SQL tables found.
Expl. You specified a table owner/name combination, where no SQL tables exist
or the SQL tables are not accessible.
Actn. Try to show all SQL tables, which you can access by specifying
wildcards.

Text LOGON to SQL database failed.
Expl. You specified an invalid user name or password.
Actn. Contact your database administrator.

to D (disallowed) or C (connected).
Actn. See Predict Administration documentation for further information.

NAT6388: The DDM could not be generated. Writing to a SPF session failed.

Text The DDM could not be generated. Writing to a SPF session failed.
Expl. When generating a DDM from a SQL table, the table data are buffered
within a SPF data session. The write can fail if the internal editor
buffer pool is full.
Actn. Increase the number of logical files and/or buffer pool blocks within
the editor profile. To make the settings active, terminate and restart
Natural.

NAT6389: SQL table name was invalid or an internal runtime error occurred.

Text SQL table name was invalid or an internal runtime error occurred.
Expl. When generating a SQL based DDM, Natural callnats are executed. Within
such a callnat, a Natural runtime error occurred.

If the problem persists, contact Software AG support.

NAT6390: A work file name must not be longer than 253 characters.

Text A work file name must not be longer than than 253 characters.

are shorter. The length of the variable/constant may not exceed 1024
bytes.
Actn. Choose a correct type.

NAT6392: The work file type :1: is unknown.

Text The work file type :1: is unknown.
Expl. The specified work file type is unknown. This usually means that it is
incorrect. This error occurs also if the name contains blanks only.
Actn. Choose a correct work file type.

NAT6393: Illegal work file name

Text Illegal work file name extension ".NCF"
Expl. The specified work file name is illegal because it conflicts with Entire
Connection"s format file. The format file has the extension .NCF, and so
the specified work file name must not use the extension .NCF.
Actn. Choose a correct work file name.

NAT6394: The DBMS type in the DDM header is not defined.

Text The DBMS type in the DDM header is not defined.
Expl. Before a DDM is loaded into the editor and during CATALOG, it will be
checked if the type of the DBID, which is defined in the global config
file, matches the DBMS type in the DDM header.
Actn. Define the correct DBMS type in the global config file,
section "DBMS assignments".

NAT6395: DDM generation failed due to wrong datatype combination.

Text DDM generation failed due to wrong datatype combination.
Expl. Natural does not support Oracle tables which contain both LONG or
LONG RAW and BLOB or CLOB data types.
Actn. Change the definition of the Oracle table so that it contains only
column types LONG and LONG RAW, or BLOB and CLOB.

NAT6396: The DDM source contains invalid field attribute(s).

Text The DDM source contains invalid field attribute(s).
Expl. The DBMS for which the DDM has been defined does not support
the extended field attribute(s) found in the DDM source.
Actn. Load the DDM into the editor. The DDM editor skips the unknown
field attribute(s) when loading the DDM. Afterwards you can stow
the DDM.

NAT6400: The parameter :1: is not allowed in this context.

Text The parameter ... is not allowed in this context.
Expl. The parameter named in the error message has no meaning in this context.
Actn. Remove the parameter. If the parameters are correct and you are using
Software AG"s DBMS-services, contact Software AG support because Natural
has encountered an internal error.
