REINPUT statement not preceded by INPUT statement. |
Explanation |
When a REINPUT statement is to be executed, the last communication
with the screen must have been via an INPUT statement.
REINPUT is not permitted for a screen that was produced by a WRITE
or DISPLAY statement.
Neither is REINPUT permitted for an INPUT statement inside a loop,
subroutine or special condition block, when the loop, subroutine or
special condition block has already been terminated.
e.g.: REPEAT
INPUT ...
ESCAPE
LOOP
REINPUT will produce this error because at execution of the
REINPUT statement the loop which contains the respective
INPUT statement has already been closed. |
Action |
Check program and correct error. |
Text |

Restart after synchronizing OBJIN and SYNIN. |
Explanation |
If an input error occurs, Natural must terminate the current program.
The restart point is defined as the next "%%" (that is, the current
terminal-control function value) in both OBJIN and SYNIN.
After flushing input from both OBJIN and SYNIN until the next "%%",
Natural resumes processing with the next command after "%%" in SYNIN
and reads input data after the next "%%" in OBJIN.
Note: The first "%" is the character indicating a terminal command.
It may be any special character, as defined by the Natural
administrator with the Natural session parameter CF or by the
GLOBALS command or a SET GLOBALS statement. |
Action |
Check input data and correct error. |

Positional parameter must not override pre-entered value. |
Explanation |
To a positional parameter entered in delimiter mode no more
than one value may be assigned. For example:
%1=VALUE1,VALUE2 -> will produce this error.
VALUE1,%1=VALUE2 -> is a correct specification, as
Natural allows specified positions
or keys to override values entered
in positional mode. |
Action |
Check input and correct error. |
Text |
Number in "%nnn" out of range. |
Explanation |
The field position requested by "%nnn" is not defined in the INPUT statement. The highest possible number is determined by the number of input fields defined. |

PROCESS PAGE UPDATE not preceded by PROCESS PAGE statement. |
Explanation |
When a PROCESS PAGE UPDATE statement is to be executed, the last communication with an external rendering engine must have been via a PROCESS PAGE statement. No INPUT, WRITE, PRINT or DISPLAY statements may be executed between a PROCESS PAGE statement and its corresponding PROCESS PAGE UPDATE statement. It is not possible, however, to place a PROCESS PAGE statement within a loop, subroutine or special condition block, and then execute the PROCESS PAGE UPDATE statement when the status under which the PROCESS PAGE statement was executed has already been terminated. |
Action |
Check program and correct error. |
Text |
Error during assignment of floating point variable(s). |
Explanation |
The most likely cause of this error is that one of the variables overflowed. Single-precision floating-point variables (format/length F4) can only represent values of a precision of approximately 7 digits. Double-precision floating-point variables (format/length F8) can be used to represent values of a precision of approximately 19 digits. |
Action |
Check program and correct error. |
Text |
Values for "DC", "IA", "ID" must exclude one another. |
Explanation |
