NAT3001: ISN list not sorted. DB/FNR/Subcode :1:/:2:/:3:.

Text
ISN list not sorted. DB/FNR/Subcode .../.../....
Explanation
An ISN list could not be sorted as a result of an excessive number of
resulting ISNs, or because during a non-descriptor search a value larger
than the corresponding field length in the FDT was found, or because the
ISN quantity returned does not correspond with the actual number of
records found.
Action
Provide sufficient disk space for temporary working space or adapt the
FDT to the actual field length.

NAT3009: Last transaction backed out of database :1:. Subcode :2:.

Text
Last transaction backed out of database .... Subcode ....
Explanation
This response is caused by one of the following:
 - The last user transaction has been backed out by Adabas (ET logic
   users only) or an exclusive control user (non-ET user) or an
   access-only user exceeded the non-activity time limit;
 - The nucleus was abnormally terminated and the user issued a command;
 - Protection log area was too small and an internal BT was executed;
 - The Adabas node has been restarted or in an Adabas cluster
   environment a primary/secondary switch took place;
 - In high-availability (HA) mode, ADALNK was used as access method
   instead of the fully supported native ADATCP access method.
The ADDITIONS 2 field in the CB contains additional information
which is described in details in the Adabas documentation.
Action
Check the appropriate reason.

   the  same  normal  or  global  command ID,  independent of the
   test option.

Text
Error during Open processing. DB/Subcode .../....

   utility aborts or an autorestart fails.
Further subcodes are described in the Adabas documentation.
