Text |
Database loop processing limit exceeded. |
Explanation |
The processing limit of a HISTOGRAM/FIND/READ database loop is
specified via a numeric constant or a numeric user-defined variable.
When this limit is exceeded, this does not necessarily indicate an
error condition; however, the records which met the search criteria
in a database loop but which are beyond the limit have not been
processed.
Note: The general limit for processing loops may also be set with the
Natural session parameter LT. |
Action |
Increase the limit value or ignore this error message. |
Text |
Time limit exceeded. |
Explanation |
In TP mode, this message means that the time-out parameter specified for the TP monitor at system generation time is not sufficient to handle current program requirements. In batch mode, after determining that the program is not in an endless loop, the MT parameter (via a SET GLOBALS statement or GLOBALS command) can be used to increase the CPU-time factor. |
Action |
Check program and correct it if necessary. If program is correct, contact your Natural administrator. |
Text |
Abnormal termination ... during program execution. |
Explanation |
An abnormal termination has occurred during the execution of a Natural object program. A common cause of this error is the use of an arithmetic operand which does not contain valid numeric data at execution time. |
Action |
Check program and correct error. |
Text |
Abnormal termination ... during program compilation. |
Explanation |
An internal abnormal termination has occurred during the Natural syntax/compilation phase. |
Action |
Contact your Natural administrator. |
Text |
Abnormal termination ... during command analysis. |
Explanation |
An abnormal termination of the Natural system has occurred during the evaluation of a command. |
Action |
Contact your Natural administrator. |
Text |
Database loop limit reached with 'LE=ON'. |
Explanation |
The limit specified for a database processing loop in a FIND, READ or HISTOGRAM statement was reached. This leads to a termination of the loop statement and the program flow continues normally with the statement following the aborted loop. At the end of the program, error message NAT0957 is encountered, if parameter "LE=ON" is set. The limit may be either set with an explicit value supplied in the database loop statement (e.g. FIND (10) ..) or, if no explicit limit was given, globally in a program with the LIMIT statement (e.g. LIMIT 10). In batch mode, Natural will continue processing only if the session parameter CC is set to 'OFF'. |
Action |
Increase the limit value or set 'LE=OFF'. |
Text |
Invalid usage of ODA (object data area) in method .... |
Explanation |
Object data areas (ODAs) are defined in methods to use class-specific data. If an ODA is defined in a subprogram, this subprogram can only be called as a method of a class (statement SEND METHOD). Also the ODA defined in a method must be compatible to the ODA defined in the class. The method is either being called without using SEND METHOD, or the ODA defined in the method contains a different number of variables than the ODA defined in the class. |
Action |
Activate the method using SEND METHOD. Ensure that the ODA defined in the method contains the same number of variables as the ODA defined in the class. |
Text |
Inconsistent ODA structure in class ... and method ... (...). |
Explanation |
Object data areas (ODAs) are defined in methods to use class-specific data. Therefore, the structure of the ODA defined in the class must match the structure of the ODA defined in the method. An inconsistency was detected for the variable shown in brackets. |
Action |
Ensure that the variables contained in the ODA of a method and its class have the same format and length. |
Text |
SAVE/CATALOG/PURGE/UNCATALOG terminated unsuccessfully. |
Explanation |
The operation was attempted repeatedly and a response code of '9' for transaction back-out was received from Adabas when XREF data were processed. |
Action |
Ask your Natural administrator to review the maximum transaction duration time setting for Adabas. |
Text |
Concurrent SAVE/CAT/PURGE/UNCAT; or hold queue full. |
Explanation |
The same source program/object module is currently being processed for update by another user. This error condition can also be produced when Adabas response code '145' is received while attempting to delete the 'old' copy of the Natural source or object program. A common reason for this error is an overflow of the Adabas hold queue. |
Action |
Retry operation later. If problem persists, notify your Natural administrator. |
Text |
Invalid access to Natural system library. |
Explanation |
An attempt was made to access/replace a program in the Natural system library 'SYSLIB'. The use of 'SYSLIB' is restricted to Natural system routines; a user must not use library ID 'SYSLIB'. |
Action |
Do not attempt to access the system library 'SYSLIB'. |
