Explanation

The type of the Adabas descriptor is invalid. Super-, sub- or phonetic-
descriptors cannot be altered in an Userview. These descriptors must be
identical to those defined in the original file, except for the
descriptor types 'UQ' and 'DE', which may be erased in an
Userview.
The VSAM descriptor type in an USER VIEW must be the same as in the
physical/logical VSAM file.

these short names specify edit masks.

Action

Enter a valid Adabas name.

Text

Duplicate Adabas field name found.

Explanation

A duplicate Adabas field name was encountered during the CATALOG
function. The field names must be unique in the Adabas file. In an
Userview, however, the Adabas short names may be specified more than
once.

Action

Enter an unique Adabas field name.

Text

Adabas name cannot be 'E0' through 'E9'.

Explanation

The Adabas short names cannot be E0 through E9. E0-E9 are

the sum of the field lengths must equal to the length of the
redefined field.

Action

Correct error.

Text

REDEFINE group shorter than basic field.

Explanation

A REDEFINE should be at least as long as the basic field, i.e., the
