Natural System Error Messages 1000-1049

NAT1000: FIND set name not found in RETAIN table.

Text
FIND set name not found in RETAIN table.
Explanation
A reference was made to a set name which had not been placed in
the FIND set table by a FIND ... RETAIN statement.
Action
Enter correct set name.

NAT1001: DBID or file number of set do not agree with current file.

Text
DBID or file number of set do not agree with current file.
Explanation
If a FIND set is to be used in another FIND statement as a logical
criterion, the set must have been selected from the same set that
is currently being processed in the FIND statement.
However, in the case of this error, the database ID and/or file number
of the previously retained set is different from that of file that is
currently being processed.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT1003: Global limit for database calls reached -> LT parameter.

Text
Global limit for database calls reached -> LT parameter.
Explanation
The maximum number of records permitted to be read from the database was
exceeded. The number is set with the profile and session parameter LT.
When a record is read from a database, with a FIND, READ or HISTOGRAM
statement, a counter field is first incremented and then compared with
the current value of the LT parameter. If the actual LT value is
exceeded, runtime error NAT1003 is issued.
When a Level 1 program is newly started, the counter field is reset and
starts again with zero. When another object is called which runs on a
level higher than 1, the counter is not reset and continues with the
value that was already reached by the previous program.
Action
Increase the value of the LT parameter.

NAT1004: In FIND UNIQUE, 0 records or more than 1 record found.

Text
In FIND UNIQUE, 0 records or more than 1 record found.
Explanation
The FIND UNIQUE statement requires that exactly one record be
found in the database.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT1005: More records found than specified in search limit.

Text
More records found than specified in search limit.
Explanation
The "WITH LIMIT = nnn" clause may be used to specify that a WHERE
condition is only to be evaluated if fewer than "nnn" records have
been selected after the evaluation of the basic search criteria.
Action
Increase the WITH limit, or redefine the basic search criteria.

NAT1006: Value specified for index is "0" or greater than maximum.

Text
Value specified for index is "0" or greater than maximum.
Explanation
The value specified for an index of a multiple-value field or a
periodic group is either greater than the maximum or less than 1.
For Adabas, the maximum index value may be up to 65534, depending on the
Adabas version and definition of the FDT.
For VSAM and DL/I, the maximum index value is 191.
For DDMS, the maximum index value is 9999.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT1007: Integer value supplied is not in valid range.

Text
Integer value supplied is not in valid range.
Explanation
The integer value supplied is either negative or greater than 4GB-1.
This is not permitted.
Action
Supply an integer value in the range from 0 to 4294967295.

NAT1008: Variable index defined in a RETAIN-List-Record-Buffer.

Text
Variable index defined in a RETAIN-List-Record-Buffer.
Explanation
A variable index is not allowed for a RETAIN-list record buffer,
because the format buffer will not be released with EC command.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT1009: Program interrupted after :1: database calls.

Text
Program interrupted after ... database calls.
Explanation
Natural counts all database calls and compares the result with
the value of the parameter MADIO.
When this value is reached, a loop is assumed and the program
terminated.
The database-call count is reset to 0 after a screen I/O operation.
Action
Correct error in program.

NAT1010: STORE/UPDATE/DELETE rejected due to UPDATE OFF command.

Text
STORE/UPDATE/DELETE rejected due to UPDATE OFF command.
Explanation
The program is being executed while "UPDATE OFF" is in effect.
Whenever the program issues an STORE/UPDATE/DELETE statement for
the database, this warning message is used to indicate that a
database-updating statement was encountered but not executed.
Action
Contact your Natural administrator.

NAT1011: Requested function key not allocated.

Text
Requested function key not allocated.
Explanation
A user can only request a function by pressing a function key
if the key has been defined in the program with a SET KEY
statement.
If this error message appears in response to NEXT, the KEY
command may be used to assign a value to the function key.
Action
Define the function key as described above.

NAT1012: Update not allowed for system file.

Text
Update not allowed for system file.
Explanation
The user is not authorized to issue SAVE or CATALOG commands.
Action

NAT1013: Illegal terminal command requested.

Text
Illegal terminal command requested.
Explanation
For information on valid terminal commands,
see the Natural documentation.
Action
Enter a correct terminal command, or press ENTER.

NAT1016: Application interrupted by a user action.

Text
Application interrupted by a user action.
Explanation
One of the following actions caused an application interrupt:
- The mainframe terminal user interrupted the Natural program via an
  attention interrupt: RESETting the terminal and pressing
  the ENTER key.
- Closing the Entire Connection upload or download dialog box by
  clicking on the CANCEL button caused an attention interrupt.
- The application was interrupted via the typical system-interrupt
  key combination (e.g., CTRL+BREAK for Windows, CTRL+C for UNIX).
Action
No action required.

NAT1017: Update not allowed for read-only database (:1:).

Text
Update not allowed for read-only database (...).
Explanation
The database indicated is set to "read-only" via the NTDB macro or
the dynamic parameter DB.
Action
Check program and correct error.

NAT1018: Invalid database type for system file.

Text
Invalid database type for system file.
Explanation
For system files, the database type must be a version of ADABAS or VSAM.
Example of valid setting:   FNAT=(10,99),DB=(ADABAS,10)
Example of invalid setting: FNAT=(10,99),DB=(DLI,10)
Action
Specify the correct database type in the DB parameter or NTDB macro.

NAT1019: Magnetic card reader must be activated with SET KEY.

Text
Magnetic card reader must be activated with SET KEY.
Explanation
Before reading data via a magnetic card reader, the magnetic
card reader must have been made program-sensitive via a
SET KEY statement (SET KEY MGID, SET KEY CDID, or SET KEY ALL).
Action
Correct error in program.

NAT1024: Total object size (:1: bytes) exceeds :2: Megabyte.

Text
Total object size (:1: bytes) exceeds :2: Megabyte.
Explanation
The total size (... Bytes) of a Natural object exceeds the limit of
... megabytes.
Action
Reduce the size of the Natural object.

NAT1028: Not permitted to invoke recursive database loop.

Text
Not permitted to invoke recursive database loop.
Explanation
An already active database loop may not be started
a second time.
Example:  PERFORM SUB001
          DEFINE SUBROUTINE SUB001
            FIND view-name WITH field = "any-value"
              DISPLAY *ISN *COUNTER *NUMBER
              PERFORM SUB001  <-- recursive call
            END-FIND
          END-SUBROUTINE
Action
Correct error in program.

NAT1029: Interrupt after too many Natural program calls.

Text
Interrupt after too many Natural program calls.
Explanation
Every FETCH, CALLNAT, PERFORM statement is counted.
This count is compared against the value supplied in the Natural
parameter module or set via the dynamic parameter facility for MAXCL.
If this value is less than or equal to the counted value, Natural
destroys the name of the error transaction and issues this error.
Action
Check program and correct error, or set MAXCL to "0" or to a large
enough value.
