Explanation
If a DEFINE DATA statement is present, all variables/fields to be
used must be defined in the DEFINE DATA statement in an LDA, GDA
or PDA, which are referenced with the keyword USING in the
DEFINE DATA statement.
If this error occurs for a DDM and a DEFINE DATA statement is
present, a view of the DDM (and of any database field referenced
in the program) must be defined in the DEFINE DATA statement.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0624: Statement END-... either missing or misplaced.

Text
Statement END-... either missing or misplaced.
Explanation
Example:     READ ...

                    COMPUTE ...
                DISPLAY ...
             END-READ
             END-IF
             END
The statement END-IF must be before the END-READ and after the last
statement to be executed in the THEN-clause of the IF-statement.
This could be after the COMPUTE or the DISPLAY statement, depending
on the actual function the program is to perform.
Statements with the syntax 'xxx ... END-xxx' must be correctly
paired.
Action
Make sure that all statement blocks are terminated with corresponding
'END-...' statements, and that the 'xxx' and 'END-xxx' statements are
correctly paired.

END-DECIDE missing for DECIDE statement.
Explanation
A statement block initiated with a DECIDE ON or DECIDE FOR statement
must be terminated with an END-DECIDE statement.
This error may also occur if an END-DECIDE statement is misplaced.
Action
Make sure that each DECIDE statement is correctly paired with a
corresponding END-DECIDE statement.

NAT0626: Statement not supported with :1:.

Text
Statement not supported with ....
Explanation
The statement cannot be used with the database type you
are using. For details as to which statements support
which database types, see the Natural documentation.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0627: Value range with keyword 'TO' not supported for :1:.

Text
Value range with keyword 'TO' not supported for ....
Explanation
The statement option 'TO' cannot be used with the database
type you are using.

When 'TO' is used to specify a value range in a READ
or HISTOGRAM statement, the end-value check will not be done
by Natural, but is performed by the database. However, this
requires a corresponding capability of the accessed database.
Therefore, option 'TO' can only be used if the underlying
database is Adabas Version 7 (or above), VSAM, DL/I or DB2.

For details as to which statements support which database
types, see the Natural documentation.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0628: Invalid usage of MULTI-FETCH option for :1:.

Text
Invalid usage of MULTI-FETCH option for ....
Explanation
The MULTI-FETCH option can only be used if the underlying database is
Adabas.
The MULTI-FETCH option is not permitted, if a
- READ or HISTOGRAM statement contains a 'DYNAMIC .. SEQUENCE' clause;
- READ or FIND statement contains an 'IN SHARED HOLD' clause.

For further details, see the Natural documentation.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0629: Incompatible range combinations in relational expression.

Text
Incompatible range combinations in relational expression.
Explanation
When two arrays are compared in a relational expression,
the number of occurrences in each dimension of the one array
must match the number of occurrences in the corresponding
dimension of the other array.
If no corresponding dimension is defined for the other array,
the dimension is assumed to be 1.
A variable number of occurrences in one dimension must not
be compared with a fixed number of occurrences in the
corresponding dimension of the other array.
Action
Correct error in program.

NAT0630: Error in RESET INITIAL statement.

Text
Error in RESET INITIAL statement.
Explanation
See the Natural documentation for information on the correct usage
of the RESET INITIAL statement.
Note in particular that a RESET INITIAL of fields resulting from
a redefinition is not possible, and RESET INITIAL cannot be
applied to database fields.
Action
Check program and correct error.

Text
Invalid index specified in arithmetic/ASSIGN statement.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0632: Invalid view structure defined for HISTOGRAM statement.

Text

be defined with only one variable: the search variable.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT0633: Invalid use of view which contains super-/subdescriptor.

Text
Invalid use of view which contains super-/subdescriptor.
Explanation
Depending on the Adabas version, a sub- or superdescriptor may be read
with a HISTOGRAM statement only or with all database access statements.

However, an UPDATE or STORE statement must not be applied to a sub-
or superdescriptor.
Action
Correct error in program.

NAT0634: Access criterion not supported for this type of database.

Text
Access criterion not supported for this type of database.
Explanation
The DBID of this DDM identifies a non-Adabas database.
Non-Adabas databases introduce certain restrictions for
Natural's database-access statements.
Action
See the Natural documentation for restrictions which apply to
the type of database you wish to access.

NAT0635: Incorrect use of 'BY VALUE' or 'OPTIONAL' in DEFINE DATA.

Text
Incorrect use of 'BY VALUE' or 'OPTIONAL' in DEFINE DATA.
Explanation

defined in a DEFINE DATA PARAMETER clause.
However, this is not permitted for REDEFINE fields or groups.
Action
Correct error in program.

NAT0636: Incorrect usage of STARTING WITH ISN clause for :1:.

Text
Incorrect usage of STARTING WITH ISN clause for ....
Explanation
A STARTING WITH ISN clause can only be used for
- Adabas access : FIND
                  READ logical
                  READ physical
- VSAM access   : READ physical
Action

FIND, READ, GET, HISTOGRAM, SORT, FOR, CALL FILE, CALL LOOP,
STORE and REPEAT.
Action

NAT0641: Invalid DEFINE PRINTER statement syntax.

Text
Invalid DEFINE PRINTER statement syntax.
Explanation
The correct syntax is:

   where 'logical-name' is the name allocated to printer,
   'n' is the printer number in range from 1 to 31,
   'operand1' is the destination within the online spooling system.
Additional reports can be assigned for default with the following names:
   SOURCE   - Output in the Natural source area.
   CONNECT  - Output into a Con-nect folder.
   DUMMY    - Output to be deleted.
   HARDCOPY - Output to the current hardcopy device.
Action

   statement block (e.g. IF, DECIDE) or in a loop-initiating
   statement (e.g. REPEAT, FIND), but it has not been closed yet at
   the end of this statement (e.g. END-IF or END-REPEAT). Examples:
     IF FIELD = 'A' THEN         *        REPEAT
       PROCESS PAGE MODAL        *          PROCESS PAGE MODAL
