#### NAT0350: Too many vertical entries in one INPUT/WRITE/DISPLAY.

    Text
    Too many vertical entries in one INPUT/WRITE/DISPLAY.
    Explanation
    One INPUT, WRITE or DISPLAY statement can generate a maximum of 250
    lines vertically.
    The row value in the notation "X/Y" must not exceed 250.
    The number of header lines must not exceed 14.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0351: No header text allowed for VERT, NOHDR, second DISPLAY.

    Text
    No header text allowed for VERT, NOHDR, second DISPLAY.
    Explanation
    - Header text is not allowed for any other than the first DISPLAY
      statement of a report.
    - In VERT mode, header text for individual fields can only be specified
      if the option "CAPTIONED" is used; the header texts for the fields
      will then be placed vertically above the column as header text.
    - If the option AS "text" is used together with CAPTIONED, the text
      specified for an individual field will be placed in the same line as
      as the field value before the field value in the column.
    - No header text is allowed for a DISPLAY statement which refers to the
      same report as a previous DISPLAY statement which has already created
      a header.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0352: SF parameter in FORMAT/SET GLOBALS > 30 or not numeric.

    Text

    The value for the parameter SF must be specified as a numeric integer
    constant. The maximum value is 30.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0353: Parameter must not be previously defined.

    Text
    Parameter must not be previously defined.
    Explanation
    Only the first parameter address is passed to the called program.
    All other parameters must be physically positioned immediately
    after the first parameter.
    This can only be achieved if the parameter variables are newly
    defined in the CALL FILE or READ WORK FILE statement respectively.
    Action
    Do not refer to previously defined variables in a CALL FILE statement.

#### NAT0354: Filler character for input field specified incorrectly.

    Text
    Filler character for input field specified incorrectly.
    Explanation
    The character which is to be used to fill the empty part of an input
    field must be specified as a single character enclosed in apostrophes.
    It may be specified anywhere in the list of values of the AD parameter.
    Example: INPUT (AD="<") #FIELDA #FIELDB
    Action
    Correct error in program.

#### NAT0355: Invalid attribute definition element after "AD=".

    Text
    Invalid attribute definition element after "AD=".
    Explanation
    See the Natural documentation, session parameter AD, for
    information on valid values for the AD parameter.
    Furthermore, this error appears in a INPUT statement if
    - (AD=M) is specified for a system variable other than *COM;
    - (AD=T) is specified for a system variable.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0356: Incorrect usage of ADJUST clause.

    Text
    Incorrect usage of ADJUST clause.
    Explanation
    The ADJUST option can only be provided for a field inside the SELECT
    option. The operand for which the ADJUST is supplied must be an
    X-ARRAY with an unique dimension and the index expression "(*)".
    After the ADJUST option, the field list must not be continued,
    that is, the specification of further variables is not permitted.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0357: Invalid entry for OFFSET/FILLER in READ WORK FILE.

    Text
    Invalid entry for OFFSET/FILLER in READ WORK FILE.
    Explanation
    The OFFSET/FILLER in a record layout for READ WORK FILE
    must be specified as an integer numeric constant.
    The filler entry may be specified in the form "nX".
    This error also occurs if the OFFSET or FILLER option is placed
    in the wrong position within the READ WORK FILE statement.
    See the Natural documentation for the valid
    READ WORK FILE statement syntax.
    Action
    Correct error in program.

#### NAT0358: No attribute definition specified after "AD=".

    Text

#### NAT0359: Processing loop in subroutine not closed.

    Text
    Processing loop in subroutine not closed.
    Explanation
    If a processing loop is initiated in a subroutine, it must
    be closed within the same subroutine with a LOOP statement.
    The LOOP statement must precede the RETURN statement.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0360: No executable statement in IF condition.

    Text
    No executable statement in IF condition.
    Explanation
    Statements such as REDEFINE or FORMAT do not generate executable
    code; therefore, they are not allowed as the only statements in
    an IF condition.
    A redefinition of a variable is true under all conditions; it is
    therefore not recommended to place a REDEFINE or FORMAT statement
    within an IF condition.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0361: Printer number not allocated.

    Text
    Printer number not allocated.
    Explanation
    Either a corresponding JCL statement for the specified printer was
    not specified;
    or, if a TP monitor is used, either the TP monitor does not support
    offline printers or the necessary parameter module was not generated.
    Action
    Correct the printer number or contact your Natural administrator.

#### NAT0362: Recursive definition of a subroutine.

    Text
    Recursive definition of a subroutine.
    Explanation
    A subroutine definition, which is initiated with a DEFINE SUBROUTINE
    statement, must be terminated with an END-SUBROUTINE or RETURN
    statement before another subroutine definition can be initiated.
    A DEFINE SUBROUTINE statement within another DEFINE SUBROUTINE
    statement block is not possible.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0363: Invalid definition of a subroutine.

    Text
    Invalid definition of a subroutine.
    Explanation
    A DEFINE SUBROUTINE statement must not be placed within
    any of the following condition statement blocks:
      - AT START OF DATA
      - AT END OF DATA
      - AT TOP OF PAGE
      - AT END OF PAGE
      - AT BREAK
      - BEFORE BREAK PROCESSING
      - AT END OF FILE
      - IF NO RECORDS FOUND
      - ON ERROR
    Action
    Correct error in program.

#### NAT0364: Inconsistency in multiple writing to the same work file.

    Text
    Inconsistency in multiple writing to the same work file.
    Explanation
    This error occurs if one program contains two (or more) WRITE WORK FILE
    statements that write data to the same work file:
    - Writing to the same work file must be either all in fixed length
      or all in variable length; that is, the keyword "VARIABLE" must be
      specified either in every WRITE WORK FILE statement concerned or
      in none. (Please note that in this context an EXPORT statement
      corresponds to a WRITE WORK FILE (1) VARIABLE statement.)
    - If writing to the same work file is all in fixed length, the sum of
      field lengths must be the same for every WRITE WORK FILE statement
      concerned.
    Action
    Correct error in program.

#### NAT0366: Invalid use of Natural system function.

    Text
    Invalid use of Natural system function.
    Explanation
    Natural system functions like MAX, MIN, SUM or AVER can only be
    used with the conditions AT BREAK, AT END DATA, AT END PAGE.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0367: Invalid reference of Natural system function.

    Text
    Invalid reference of Natural system function.
    Explanation
    Natural system functions like MAX, MIN, SUM and AVER may only be
    used in an AT END OF PAGE condition if their evaluation per page
    has been requested with the GIVE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS clause of a
    DISPLAY or WRITE statement.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0368: Search field for a descriptor is too long.

    Text
    Search field for a descriptor is too long.
    Explanation
    The maximum length for a search field is 126 bytes.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0369: Parameter DY may only be used with alphanumeric fields.

    Text
    Parameter DY may only be used with alphanumeric fields.
    Explanation
    Dynamic attributes (blinking, intensified, underlined, color, etc.)
    may only be applied to alphanumeric fields.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0370: Invalid concatenation of alphanumeric constants.

    Text
    Invalid concatenation of alphanumeric constants.
    Explanation
    A concatenation character ("-") was found, but the linked constant
    segment is missing or of an incorrect format.
    When an alphanumeric constant ("text" or H"..") is followed by a
    hyphen character ("-"), another alphanumeric constant has to follow.
    Example: "ABC"-"DEF"-H"F1F2F3"-"XYZ"
    When a constant of format Unicode (U"text" or UH"..") is followed by a
    hyphen character ("-"),another constant of format Unicode has to follow.
    Example: U"ABC"-U"DEF"-UH"00310032"-U"XYZ"
    A mix of alphanumeric and Unicode constant segments is not permitted.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0371: Invalid output length for (PM=D) field or constant.

    Text
    Invalid output length for (PM=D) field or constant.
    Explanation
    If attribute (PM=D) is used to display an alphanumeric field or
    constant, its content is considered DBCS data without
    surrounding Shift-OUT/Shift-IN characters. To ensure the proper display
    of such data on the screen, the output length must be even.
    The following rules apply to type Alphanumeric:
      If the field length is odd (e.g. (A9)), provide option AL=/DL= to
      reduce the display length. If AL= or DL= (or both) are specified,
      only an even length is permitted.
    The following rules apply to type Unicode:
      If the field length is odd (e.g. (U7)), provide option AL=/DL= to set
      the output length to an even number. Since one Unicode character
      corresponds to one DBCS double-byte, the number of output positions
      needed is twice the field length (i.e. DL=14 for (U7)).
    Action
    Provide correct length option AL= or DL=.

#### NAT0373: Error in increment specification for RENUMBER.

    Text
    Error in increment specification for RENUMBER.
    Explanation
    The line editor allows an increment, in the form (nnnn), to be
    specified for renumbering.
    The increment you have specified would cause line numbers greater
    than 9999.
    Action
    Choose an increment for renumbering that does not cause the line
    numbers to exceed 9999.

#### NAT0375: Invalid value for format element.

    Text
    Invalid value for format element.
    Explanation
    For this type of format element, the only possible values
    are "ON" and "OFF" (or "T" and "F" respectively).
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0376: Global variables :1: do not match.

    Text
    Global variables ... do not match.
    Explanation
    The global variables that are to be passed between programs
    do not agree in format and/or length.
    Global variables with the same name must agree in format and
    length to allow for a value transfer of the global variable
    across multiple programs when referenced as data as "+NAME".
    Action
    Check the currently existing global variables with the EDIT VARIABLES
    command and compare them to the reference in the current program.
    Adjust format/length or clear global variables with the LOGON command.

#### NAT0378: Field must not be placed under group using "/" notation.

    Text
    Field must not be placed under group using "/" notation.
    Explanation
    If a group of fields is referenced in a DISPLAY statement, the group
    creates a layout of multiple columns for all individual fields in the
    group.
    No individual field can be placed under the group layout.
    Action
    Place individual field in a separate column.

#### NAT0379: Error in construction of print positioning of form "x/y".

    Text
    Error in construction of print positioning of form "x/y".
    Explanation
    The positioning notation "x/y" can only be used with constants
    for "x" and "y". The positioning must not place the current print
    position outside the range of line and column positions that are
    available with the current line size and page size limits.
    The line position must not overlay an already occupied print
    position.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0380: Error in the construction of a dynamic source variable.

    Text
    Error in the construction of a dynamic source variable.
    Explanation
    The character "&", which indicates a dynamic source variable, was
    found, but the "&" was not followed by a valid variable name.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0383: Source program in source work area incorrectly numbered.

    Text
    Source program in source work area incorrectly numbered.
    Explanation
    To ensure that all references in a program can be resolved correctly,
    it is necessary that the source code lines are numbered in ascending
    order.
    Action
    Use the RENUMBER command to renumber the program, check all references
    for consistency with intended reference (when duplicate numbers exist).
    All references will be renumbered automatically.

#### NAT0384: Explicit format specification required.

    Text
    Explicit format specification required.
    Explanation
    The FS parameter has been set with a SET GLOBALS statement or GLOBALS
    command to indicate that no default format/length is to be used.
    Therefore the format/length of all user-defined variables must be
    explicitly specified.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0385: Values for DC, IA, ID parameters must exclude one another.

    Text
    Values for DC, IA, ID parameters must exclude one another.
    Explanation
    The values for the session parameters DC, IA and ID must exclude one
    another. The value for each of these parameters must be different
    from the values for the other two.
    Action
    Use the GLOBALS command to check the values for DC, IA and ID
    and make sure that the 3 parameter have 3 different values.

#### NAT0386: Undefined global variable used for source reference.

    Text
    Undefined global variable used for source reference.
    Explanation
    All global variables that are to be referenced for source
    parameters in the form "&NAME" must have been previously defined
    from the execution of a program that assigns a value to this
    global variable.
    If a source program using global notations is to be created, this
    can be done without control of the syntax checker, using the EDIT
    command. When the syntax checker is to be active during the creation
    of such program, the proper global variable environment must be
    created prior to any "&NAME" reference.
    Action
    Either create program in EDIT mode or establish proper global variable
    environment by executing programs that define the global variables
    prior to any "&NAME" reference.

#### NAT0387: Modification of a named constant not allowed.

    Text
    Modification of a named constant not allowed.
    Explanation
    If a variable is to have an initial value, which will be changed in
    the program, and the original value is to be used again later in the
    program, use the INIT clause of the DEFINE DATA statement and a RESET
    INITIAL statement.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0389: Invalid reference "0000" specified.

    Text
    Invalid reference "0000" specified.
    Explanation
    When you reference a database access statement by specifying the
    line number, the line number can never be "0000".
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0390: Variable of format/length F16 is not allowed here.

    Text
    Variable of format/length F16 is not allowed here.
    Explanation
    A floating-point variable of length 16 is not allowed with
    the following statements:
    - DISPLAY
    - WRITE
    - PRINT
    - INPUT
    Action
    Do not use an F16 variable in any of the above statements.

#### NAT0392: Invalid operation with date or time variable.

    Text
    Invalid operation with date or time variable.
    Explanation
    This error may be caused by the following:
    -  An arithmetic operator other than "+","-","*" or "-" was used between
       a date/time operand and/or a numeric operand.
    -  An arithmetic operator with one date/time operand and one
       floating-point operand was used.
    -  A field of a format other than date is assigned to a date variable.
    See Natural documentation, Arithmetic Operations with Date and Time,
    for further information.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0393: Program cannot be executed.

    Text
    Program cannot be executed.
    Explanation
    1) An attempt was made to
       - execute a Natural programming object or
       - load a GDA, LDA, PDA or map at compilation
       which is not supported by the current version of Natural.
       For a list of supported Natural program versions, see the
       corresponding Natural documentation.
    2) The program to be executed is contained in the blacklist of the
       current buffer pool (see the SYSBPM utility documentation).

    only for output fields.
    Example: INPUT #D (EM=R AD=O)
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT0397: Invalid index range in INPUT or WRITE statement.

    Text
    Invalid index range in INPUT or WRITE statement.
    Explanation
    In an INPUT or WRITE statement, the index range notation of an array
    is invalid because the number of occurrences is not known during
    compilation.
    Examples of invalid index ranges:
       - range with different variables       : (#I:#J)
       - range with constant and variable     : (1:#i)
       - complete range notation of an X array: (*)
    Examples of valid index ranges:
       - range with constants                 : (1:5)
       - range with the same variabes         : (#I:#I+5)
