Explanation

The layout map was initialized with a profile other than the current
profile; the current profile is marked with the "ENFORCE" option;
and some attributes of the current profile have been changed in the
meantime.

Action

a name is explicitly specified.

Action

Change map name or scratch existing object.

Text

Specified object does not exist, or is not a map/helptext.

Explanation

The specified map name is wrong. A map or a helptext with
the specified name does not exist; or the referenced object
is neither a map nor a helptext.

Action

Change map name or use initialize function.

Text

Device specification is missing.

Explanation

The device specified with the device check field was not
defined using the maintenance function;
or the MODIFY or DELETE function was used for a non-existing
device specification.

Action

Specify the device attributes using the maintenance function.

Text

Explanation

The specification of the device already exists.

Action

Use the MODIFY function.

Text

Device name is missing.

Explanation

The name of the device specification to be added, modified or
deleted is missing.

Text

Field is not an array.

Explanation

Before applying index parentheses to a field name, the field must be
defined as an array by using the command ".A" or "..A".

Explanation

The array field command or the array line command cannot
be used with elementary database fields or with system variables.

Explanation

This error occurs if a field was first defined as a user-defined or
or undefined field, and processing rules were assigned to that field
by the user; if this field is then post-assigned to a database field,
and the dictionary contains processing rules for that database field
on ranks which are already occupied by the user-defined rules,
this conflict occurs.

Action

Check user rules.
