Incorrect comparator used in READ/HISTOGRAM for .... |
Expl. |
The comparators LT, GT, LE and GE cannot be used with the database type you are using. When the comparator LT, GT, LE or GE is used in a READ/HISTOGRAM statement, the underlying database has to be Adabas Version 7 (or above), VSAM, DL/I or DB2. Moreover, when a Super Natural user file is accessed, the comparators LT, GT, LE and GE are not applicable. For details as to which statements support which database types, see the Natural documentation. |

Invalid use or definition of NULL indicator field. |
Expl. |
One of the following situations was encountered:
1. A NULL indicator field (N@..) is not defined in the DDM with
format/length (I2).
2. A NULL indicator field used as a search variable can only be
used with the equal value operator ("=", EQ). Other operations
(like NE, LT, ..) are not permitted.
3. A NULL indicator field must not be used as a sort field in a
FIND .. SORTED BY .. clause.
4. If the FIND statement is generated for DB2 access, the
search value supplied must be a numeric constant.
On mainframe platforms, "@" is the character with the hexadecimal
value H"7C".

Text |
Illegal use of keyword UR within the WITH clause. |
Expl. |
The specification of "WITH UR" is only valid in select statements. In DELETE, UPDATE, and INSERT statements, the WITH clause can be specified only with the keyword CS or RR. |
Actn. |
Change the keyword in the WITH clause to either CS or RR or else omit the WITH clause. |
Text |
Time-stamp inconsistency for segments of GDA .... |
Expl. |
The object and symbol table of a GDA were loaded, but their time stamps differ. Using such inconsistent GDA segments would cause odd compiler malfunctions. Usually both items should have the same creation time stamp, because they are built at the same time when a GDA is cataloged. The inconsistency be due to the GDA having been cataloged at almost the same time in different Natural sessions which do not share the same buffer pool. |
Actn. |
Remove the GDA object and the symbol table from buffer pool with the SYSBPM utility. Then retry to catalog the program. |
Text |
Restored joinlists level/layer doesn"t match actual layer. |
Expl. |
An internal compiler error occurred. For processing nested joined-tables, the compiler saves the joinlists with the context of the select level/layer on a stack. While restoring such a saved joinlist entry, the compiler detected that the actual level/layer did not match the saved select level/layer. This indicates that compiler processing in erroneous. |

Invalid table name specified, or database is not DB2. |
Expl. |
The specified table name is not a valid identifier. The database ID of the referenced DDM is not labeled as a DB2 database in the NTDB macro. Another reason for this error may be that the table specification includes an explicit authorization identifier, and the table name contains a hyphen; for example: SELECT ... FROM SQL.SQL-TABLE ... This is invalid. When a table name that contains a hyphen is used, it must not be prefixed with an explicit authorization identifier. |
Actn. |
Use valid table name; or do not use this statement for this type of database, or contact your Natural administrator. |

Master field for indicator ... not in view. |
Expl. |
The view specified in the INTO clause contains an invalid indicator variable name: If a name of field in a view is prefixed with "L@" or "N@", Natural treats this field as an indicator field, which means that the name following the prefix must be the name of a database field already defined in that view. This master field is missing. On mainframe platforms, "@" is the character with the hexadecimal value H"7C". |
Actn. |
Correct error in data area. |
Text |
Invalid format/length/range for indicator .... |
Expl. |
The format/length of an INDICATOR or LINDICATOR variable must be either (B2) or (I2). This applies even if the master is not alphanumeric or binary. If you use COMPOPT DB2ARRY=ON, the range of the INDICATOR or LINDICATOR variable has to be equal to or greater than the range of the associated host variable array. |
Actn. |
Correct error in program. |
Text |
Range variable ... incorrectly specified. |
Expl. |
Possible reasons for this error: 1) A range variable cannot be qualified. 2) The same range variable has been used twice. 3) An alias range variable specified for a view is not assigned to a table. |
Actn. |
Correct error in program. |
Text |
Indicator variable not allowed as a column reference. |
Expl. |
Special DDM fields with the name prefix N@ or L@ cannot be used as column references, because they are unknown to the database. On mainframe platforms, "@" is the character with the hexadecimal value H"7C". |

Text |
UPDATE only possible with "SELECT * INTO VIEW". |
Expl. |
When you use an UPDATE statement in conjunction with a SELECT statement, the SELECT statement must be of the form "SELECT * INTO VIEW"; with any other form of the SELECT statement, UDPATE is not possible. In reporting mode, you must specify "UPDATE SAME" to update a view read with a SELECT statement; an explicit specification of the columns to be updated is not possible. |
Actn. |
Use the correct combination of SELECT and UPDATE in the program. |
Text |
Inconsistent setting of parentheses in SELECT UNION. |
Expl. |
The grouping of multiple SELECT expressions that are concatenated with "UNION" contains an error: either there is an opening parenthesis without a corresponding closing parenthesis, or vice versa. |
