Natural System Error Messages 0350-0399

NAT0350: Too many vertical entries in one INPUT/WRITE/DISPLAY.

Text
Too many vertical entries in one INPUT/WRITE/DISPLAY.
Explanation
One INPUT, WRITE or DISPLAY statement can generate a maximum of 250
lines vertically.
The row value in the notation "X/Y" must not exceed 250.
The number of header lines must not exceed 14.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0351: No header text allowed for VERT, NOHDR, second DISPLAY.

Text
No header text allowed for VERT, NOHDR, second DISPLAY.
Explanation
- Header text is not allowed for any other than the first DISPLAY
  statement of a report.
- In VERT mode, header text for individual fields can only be specified
  if the option "CAPTIONED" is used; the header texts for the fields
  will then be placed vertically above the column as header text.
- If the option AS "text" is used together with CAPTIONED, the text
  specified for an individual field will be placed in the same line as
  as the field value before the field value in the column.
- No header text is allowed for a DISPLAY statement which refers to the
  same report as a previous DISPLAY statement which has already created
  a header.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0352: SF parameter in FORMAT/SET GLOBALS > 30 or not numeric.

Text
SF parameter in FORMAT/SET GLOBALS > 30 or not numeric.
Explanation
The value for the parameter SF must be specified as a numeric integer
constant. The maximum value is 30.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0353: Parameter must not be previously defined.

Text
Parameter must not be previously defined.
Explanation
Only the first parameter address is passed to the called program.
All other parameters must be physically positioned immediately
after the first parameter.
This can only be achieved if the parameter variables are newly
defined in the CALL FILE or READ WORK FILE statement respectively.
Action
Do not refer to previously defined variables in a CALL FILE statement.

NAT0354: Filler character for input field specified incorrectly.

Text
Filler character for input field specified incorrectly.
Explanation
The character which is to be used to fill the empty part of an input
field must be specified as a single character enclosed in apostrophes.
It may be specified anywhere in the list of values of the AD parameter.
Example: INPUT (AD="<") #FIELDA #FIELDB
Action
Correct error in program.

NAT0355: Invalid attribute definition element after "AD=".

Text
Invalid attribute definition element after "AD=".
Explanation
See the Natural documentation, session parameter AD, for
information on valid values for the AD parameter.
Furthermore, this error appears in a INPUT statement if
- (AD=M) is specified for a system variable other than *COM;
- (AD=T) is specified for a system variable.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0356: Incorrect usage of ADJUST clause.

Text
Incorrect usage of ADJUST clause.
Explanation
The ADJUST option can only be provided for a field inside the SELECT
option. The operand for which the ADJUST is supplied must be an
X-ARRAY with an unique dimension and the index expression "(*)".
After the ADJUST option, the field list must not be continued,
that is, the specification of further variables is not permitted.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0357: Invalid entry for OFFSET/FILLER in READ WORK FILE.

Text
Invalid entry for OFFSET/FILLER in READ WORK FILE.
Explanation
The OFFSET/FILLER in a record layout for READ WORK FILE
must be specified as an integer numeric constant.
The filler entry may be specified in the form "nX".
This error also occurs if the OFFSET or FILLER option is placed
in the wrong position within the READ WORK FILE statement.
See the Natural documentation for the valid
READ WORK FILE statement syntax.
Action
Correct error in program.

NAT0358: No attribute definition specified after "AD=".

Text
No attribute definition specified after "AD=".
Explanation
At least one attribute setting is required when using "AD=".
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0359: Processing loop in subroutine not closed.

Text
Processing loop in subroutine not closed.
Explanation
If a processing loop is initiated in a subroutine, it must
be closed within the same subroutine with a LOOP statement.
The LOOP statement must precede the RETURN statement.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0360: No executable statement in IF condition.

Text
No executable statement in IF condition.
Explanation
Statements such as REDEFINE or FORMAT do not generate executable
code; therefore, they are not allowed as the only statements in
an IF condition.
A redefinition of a variable is true under all conditions; it is
therefore not recommended to place a REDEFINE or FORMAT statement
within an IF condition.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0361: Printer number not allocated.

Text
Printer number not allocated.
Explanation
Either a corresponding JCL statement for the specified printer was
not specified;
or, if a TP monitor is used, either the TP monitor does not support
offline printers or the necessary parameter module was not generated.
Action
Correct the printer number or contact your Natural administrator.

NAT0362: Recursive definition of a subroutine.

Text
Recursive definition of a subroutine.
Explanation
A subroutine definition, which is initiated with a DEFINE SUBROUTINE
statement, must be terminated with an END-SUBROUTINE or RETURN
statement before another subroutine definition can be initiated.
A DEFINE SUBROUTINE statement within another DEFINE SUBROUTINE
statement block is not possible.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0363: Invalid definition of a subroutine.

Text
Invalid definition of a subroutine.
Explanation
A DEFINE SUBROUTINE statement must not be placed within
any of the following condition statement blocks:
  - AT START OF DATA
  - AT END OF DATA
  - AT TOP OF PAGE
  - AT END OF PAGE
  - AT BREAK
  - BEFORE BREAK PROCESSING
  - AT END OF FILE
  - IF NO RECORDS FOUND
  - ON ERROR
Action
Correct error in program.

NAT0364: Inconsistency in multiple writing to the same work file.

Text
Inconsistency in multiple writing to the same work file.
Explanation
This error occurs if one program contains two (or more) WRITE WORK FILE
statements that write data to the same work file:
- Writing to the same work file must be either all in fixed length
  or all in variable length; that is, the keyword "VARIABLE" must be
  specified either in every WRITE WORK FILE statement concerned or
  in none. (Please note that in this context an EXPORT statement
  corresponds to a WRITE WORK FILE (1) VARIABLE statement.)
- If writing to the same work file is all in fixed length, the sum of
  field lengths must be the same for every WRITE WORK FILE statement
  concerned.
Action
Correct error in program.

NAT0366: Invalid use of Natural system function.

Text
Invalid use of Natural system function.
Explanation
Natural system functions like MAX, MIN, SUM or AVER can only be
used with the conditions AT BREAK, AT END DATA, AT END PAGE.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0367: Invalid reference of Natural system function.

Text
Invalid reference of Natural system function.
Explanation
Natural system functions like MAX, MIN, SUM and AVER may only be
used in an AT END OF PAGE condition if their evaluation per page
has been requested with the GIVE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS clause of a
DISPLAY or WRITE statement.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0368: Search field for a descriptor is too long.

Text
Search field for a descriptor is too long.
Explanation
The maximum length for a search field is 126 bytes.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0369: Parameter DY may only be used with alphanumeric fields.

Text
Parameter DY may only be used with alphanumeric fields.
Explanation
Dynamic attributes (blinking, intensified, underlined, color, etc.)
may only be applied to alphanumeric fields.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0370: Invalid concatenation of alphanumeric constants.

Text
Invalid concatenation of alphanumeric constants.
Explanation
A concatenation character ("-") was found, but the linked constant
segment is missing or of an incorrect format.
When an alphanumeric constant ("text" or H"..") is followed by a
hyphen character ("-"), another alphanumeric constant has to follow.
Example: "ABC"-"DEF"-H"F1F2F3"-"XYZ"
When a constant of format Unicode (U"text" or UH"..") is followed by a
hyphen character ("-"),another constant of format Unicode has to follow.
Example: U"ABC"-U"DEF"-UH"00310032"-U"XYZ"
A mix of alphanumeric and Unicode constant segments is not permitted.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0371: Invalid output length for (PM=D) field or constant.

Text
Invalid output length for (PM=D) field or constant.
Explanation
If attribute (PM=D) is used to display an alphanumeric field or
constant, its content is considered DBCS data without
surrounding Shift-OUT/Shift-IN characters. To ensure the proper display
of such data on the screen, the output length must be even.
The following rules apply to type Alphanumeric:
  If the field length is odd (e.g. (A9)), provide option AL=/DL= to
  reduce the display length. If AL= or DL= (or both) are specified,
  only an even length is permitted.
The following rules apply to type Unicode:
  If the field length is odd (e.g. (U7)), provide option AL=/DL= to set
  the output length to an even number. Since one Unicode character
  corresponds to one DBCS double-byte, the number of output positions
  needed is twice the field length (i.e. DL=14 for (U7)).
Action
Provide correct length option AL= or DL=.

NAT0373: Error in increment specification for RENUMBER.

Text
Error in increment specification for RENUMBER.
Explanation
The line editor allows an increment, in the form (nnnn), to be
specified for renumbering.
The increment you have specified would cause line numbers greater
than 9999.
Action
Choose an increment for renumbering that does not cause the line
numbers to exceed 9999.

NAT0375: Invalid value for format element.

Text
Invalid value for format element.
Explanation
For this type of format element, the only possible values
are "ON" and "OFF" (or "T" and "F" respectively).
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0376: Global variables :1: do not match.

Text
Global variables ... do not match.
Explanation
The global variables that are to be passed between programs
do not agree in format and/or length.
Global variables with the same name must agree in format and
length to allow for a value transfer of the global variable
across multiple programs when referenced as data as "+NAME".
Action
Check the currently existing global variables with the EDIT VARIABLES
command and compare them to the reference in the current program.
Adjust format/length or clear global variables with the LOGON command.

NAT0378: Field must not be placed under group using "/" notation.

Text
Field must not be placed under group using "/" notation.
Explanation
If a group of fields is referenced in a DISPLAY statement, the group
creates a layout of multiple columns for all individual fields in the
group.
No individual field can be placed under the group layout.
Action
Place individual field in a separate column.

NAT0379: Error in construction of print positioning of form "x/y".

Text
Error in construction of print positioning of form "x/y".
Explanation
The positioning notation "x/y" can only be used with constants
for "x" and "y". The positioning must not place the current print
position outside the range of line and column positions that are
available with the current line size and page size limits.
The line position must not overlay an already occupied print
position.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0380: Error in the construction of a dynamic source variable.

Text
Error in the construction of a dynamic source variable.
Explanation
The character "&", which indicates a dynamic source variable, was
found, but the "&" was not followed by a valid variable name.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0383: Source program in source work area incorrectly numbered.

Text
Source program in source work area incorrectly numbered.
Explanation
To ensure that all references in a program can be resolved correctly,
it is necessary that the source code lines are numbered in ascending
order.
Action
Use the RENUMBER command to renumber the program, check all references
for consistency with intended reference (when duplicate numbers exist).
All references will be renumbered automatically.

NAT0384: Explicit format specification required.

Text
Explicit format specification required.
Explanation
The FS parameter has been set with a SET GLOBALS statement or GLOBALS
command to indicate that no default format/length is to be used.
Therefore the format/length of all user-defined variables must be
explicitly specified.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0385: Values for DC, IA, ID parameters must exclude one another.

Text
Values for DC, IA, ID parameters must exclude one another.
Explanation
The values for the session parameters DC, IA and ID must exclude one
another. The value for each of these parameters must be different
from the values for the other two.
Action
Use the GLOBALS command to check the values for DC, IA and ID
and make sure that the 3 parameter have 3 different values.

NAT0386: Undefined global variable used for source reference.

Text
Undefined global variable used for source reference.
Explanation
All global variables that are to be referenced for source
parameters in the form "&NAME" must have been previously defined
from the execution of a program that assigns a value to this
global variable.
If a source program using global notations is to be created, this
can be done without control of the syntax checker, using the EDIT
command. When the syntax checker is to be active during the creation
of such program, the proper global variable environment must be
created prior to any "&NAME" reference.
Action
Either create program in EDIT mode or establish proper global variable
environment by executing programs that define the global variables
prior to any "&NAME" reference.

NAT0387: Modification of a named constant not allowed.

Text
Modification of a named constant not allowed.
Explanation
If a variable is to have an initial value, which will be changed in
the program, and the original value is to be used again later in the
program, use the INIT clause of the DEFINE DATA statement and a RESET
INITIAL statement.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0389: Invalid reference "0000" specified.

Text
Invalid reference "0000" specified.
Explanation
When you reference a database access statement by specifying the
line number, the line number can never be "0000".
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0390: Variable of format/length F16 is not allowed here.

Text
Variable of format/length F16 is not allowed here.
Explanation
A floating-point variable of length 16 is not allowed with
the following statements:
- DISPLAY
- WRITE
- PRINT
- INPUT
Action
Do not use an F16 variable in any of the above statements.

NAT0392: Invalid operation with date or time variable.

Text
Invalid operation with date or time variable.
Explanation
This error may be caused by the following:
-  An arithmetic operator other than "+","-","*" or "-" was used between
   a date/time operand and/or a numeric operand.
-  An arithmetic operator with one date/time operand and one
   floating-point operand was used.
-  A field of a format other than date is assigned to a date variable.

See Natural documentation, Arithmetic Operations with Date and Time,
for further information.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0393: Program cannot be executed.

Text
Program cannot be executed.
Explanation
1) An attempt was made to
   - execute a Natural programming object or
   - load a GDA, LDA, PDA or map at compilation
   which is not supported by the current version of Natural.
   For a list of supported Natural program versions, see the
   corresponding Natural documentation.

2) The program to be executed is contained in the blacklist of the
   current buffer pool (see the SYSBPM utility documentation).
Action
1) Re-compile the program under the current version of Natural.
2) Remove the program from the blacklist.

NAT0394: Invalid format specification.

Text
Invalid format specification.
Explanation
See the Natural session parameters documentation for details.
Action

Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0396: Roman edit mask for input fields not allowed.

Text
Roman edit mask for input fields not allowed.
Explanation
A roman edit mask can be used in an INPUT statement, but
only for output fields.
Example: INPUT #D (EM=R AD=O)
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0397: Invalid index range in INPUT or WRITE statement.

Text
Invalid index range in INPUT or WRITE statement.
Explanation
In an INPUT or WRITE statement, the index range notation of an array
is invalid because the number of occurrences is not known during
compilation.

Examples of invalid index ranges:
   - range with different variables       : (#I:#J)
   - range with constant and variable     : (1:#i)
   - complete range notation of an X array: (*)

Examples of valid index ranges:
   - range with constants                 : (1:5)
   - range with the same variabes         : (#I:#I+5)
Action
Supply a valid index range.

NAT0398: Label definition must be coded at beginning of line.

Text
Label definition must be coded at beginning of line.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0399: INCLUDE statement must be only statement in source line.
