#### NAT1300: Negative exponent not allowed.

    Text
    Negative exponent not allowed.
    Explanation
    Natural performs an exponentiation via repetitive multiplication.
    Negative exponents are not permitted.
    Action
    Use only positive exponent values.

#### NAT1301: Intermediate result too large.

    Text
    Intermediate result too large.
    Explanation
    The construct of the arithmetic expression generates an intermediate
    result with too many digits.
    Action
    Separate the arithmetic expression into several statements with defined
    lengths for intermediate results.

#### NAT1302: Division by zero not permitted by parameter ZD=ON.

    Text
    Division by zero not permitted by parameter ZD=ON.
    Explanation
    The ZD session parameter is set to "ON".  This causes
    an error when a division by zero is attempted.
    If a result of zero is desired when attempting a division
    by zero, change the setting of the ZD session parameter to "OFF".
    Action
    Set "ZD=OFF" if desired.

#### NAT1303: Numeric truncation caused by adding/subtracting 1.

    Text
    Numeric truncation caused by adding/subtracting 1.
    Explanation
    In the evaluation of a relational expression, the operators
    GREATER and LESS THAN are evaluated by adding/subtracting "1"
    from the value.
    Action
    Increase length of field used in relational expression.

#### NAT1304: Value has been rounded and does not fit into field.

    Text
    Value has been rounded and does not fit into field.
    Explanation
    Rounding has caused the value to exceed the number of digits
    defined for the field.
    Action
    Increase length of field being rounded.

#### NAT1305: Numeric value truncated in MOVE/ASSIGN operation.

    Text
    Numeric value truncated in MOVE/ASSIGN operation.
    Explanation
    The receiving field in a MOVE/ASSIGN operation is not long
    enough to hold the result of the value.
    Action
    Increase the length of the receiving field.

#### NAT1306: Error in STEP value in FOR statement.

    Text
    Error in STEP value in FOR statement.
    Explanation
    The end value cannot be reached by incrementing the start value
    because STEP value = 0 was detected.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT1307: Resulting element address in MOVE INDEXED out of range.

    Text
    Resulting element address in MOVE INDEXED out of range.
    Explanation
    The target address of the MOVE INDEXED operation lies
    outside the Natural data area.
    Action
    Check index value or length of base field in MOVE INDEXED.

#### NAT1308: Replace string does not fit into variable.

    Text
    Replace string does not fit into variable.
    Explanation
    In an EXAMINE statement, one of the strings to be examined and
    replaced resulted in a total string length that is larger than the
    variable length.
    A truncation of a value is not allowed in an EXAMINE statement.
    Action
    Adjust length of field in EXAMINE statement.

#### NAT1309: Overflow in NUMBER variable of EXAMINE statement.

    Text
    Overflow in NUMBER variable of EXAMINE statement.
    Explanation
    The number of strings found in the source variable is too large
    to be represented in the NUMBER variable of the EXAMINE statement.
    Action
    Adjust the length of the NUMBER variable.

#### NAT1310: RETRY statement not allowed for this error number.

    Text
    RETRY statement not allowed for this error number.
    Explanation
    1. A RETRY is only possible for database response code "145". This
    response code indicates that a record which is to be read for update is
    currently in "hold" status for another user. NAT3145 can only occur when
    the global option WH=OFF (wait hold) is in effect.
    2. NAT1310 can also occur under one of the following conditions if the
    response code is in fact "145":
    - The object module which was active when "145" was received does not
      contain an ON ERROR statement.
    - The RETRY statement executed in reaction to "145" is not contained in
      the same object module as was active when the response code was
      received.
    Response code "145" can only be handled by the object module which is
    active when the response code is received. When control is returned from
    that module, Natural automatically converts NAT3145 to NAT1310.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT1311: Index in MOVE INDEXED statement is zero or negative.

    Text
    Index in MOVE INDEXED statement is zero or negative.
    Explanation
    The index in a MOVE INDEXED statement must be positive.
    Action
    Correct program.

#### NAT1312: Number of elements too large for number field.

    Text
    Number of elements too large for number field.
    Explanation
    The NUMBER clause was used in the SEPARATE statement,
    but the number of elements to be returned does not fit
    into the field specified.
    Action
    Increase the length of the field which is to contain
    the resulting number of elements.

#### NAT1313: Not enough receiving fields available in SEPARATE.

    Text
    Not enough receiving fields available in SEPARATE.
    Explanation
    The source field contained so many delimiter characters that there
    were not enough target fields available in the SEPARATE statement
    to receive all values.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT1314: Target field too small for field portion or incorrect delimiters.

    Text
    Target field too small for field portion or incorrect delimiters.
    Explanation
    In a SEPARATE statement, a portion of a field to be transferred is
    larger than the target field specified.
    Possible reasons:
     - A text segment between two delimiters which exceeds the
       length of the defined target field; or
     - an incorrect definition of delimiters which do not exist inside
       the source operand.
    Action
    Increase the length of the target field or use correct delimiters.

#### NAT1315: Source field and target field in SEPARATE overlap.

    Text
    Source field and target field in SEPARATE overlap.
    Action
    Avoid overlapping of source and target fields.

#### NAT1316: Index not within array structure.

    Text
    Index not within array structure.
    Explanation
    The index specified for an array is not within the dimensions
    defined for the array.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT1317: Array range operation on invalid ranges.

    Text
    Array range operation on invalid ranges.
    Explanation
    An arithmetic operation may operate on array ranges with
    identical range structures, or on array ranges with
    single values (scalar values).
    Two or three ranges were defined for an arithmetic operation,
    which do not have identical range structures.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT1318: Overlap during ASSIGN.

    Text
    Overlap during ASSIGN.
    Explanation
    During assignment of alphanumeric or binary operands, an
    invalid overlap was detected. This condition occurs when an
    attempt is made to move a byte which has already been moved
    during the execution of the statement.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT1319: Invalid date operation.

    Text
    Invalid date operation.
    Explanation
    The result of an operation (date integer) is a negative date.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT1320: Invalid operand for system function VAL.

    Text
    Invalid operand for system function VAL.
    Explanation
    The operand of the VAL system function does not contain a valid
    alphanumeric representation of the resulting value.
    The VAL system function is similar to the INPUT statement: what
    is accepted by the INPUT statement is also accepted by the VAL
    system function.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT1321: Invalid UNTIL parameter in MOVE ALL statement.

    Text
    Invalid UNTIL parameter in MOVE ALL statement.
    Explanation
    This error may be caused by one of the following:
    - The UNTIL parameter contains a negative value.
    - The UNTIL parameter contains a value with more than 7 valid
      decimal digits or more than 31 valid binary digits.
    Action
    Correct error.

#### NAT1322: Parameter :1: missing (invoked at line :2: by :3:/:4:/:5:/:6:).

    Text
    Parameter ... missing (invoked at line ... by .../.../.../...).
    Explanation
    Natural tried to execute a statement which contained a reference to
    parameter ... which was not supplied by the object .../.../.../...
    This occurs if the invoking statement at line ... has not supplied
    a parameter which was defined as optional by the invoked object
    (DEFINE DATA PARAMETER).
    Action
    Specify the missing parameter in the invoking statement.

#### NAT1323: ACCEPT, REJECT, REINPUT not allowed in end-data condition.

    Text
    ACCEPT, REJECT, REINPUT not allowed in end-data condition.
    Explanation
    The statements ACCEPT and REJECT are not allowed in an end-of-data
    condition (loop is already closed).
    The same restriction applies for a REINPUT statement if the
    corresponding INPUT statement is contained within a loop which has
    been closed.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT1324: Loop must be active if this statement is used.

    Text
    Loop must be active if this statement is used.
    Explanation
    An ESCAPE TOP, ESCAPE BOTTOM, ACCEPT, REJECT or PERFORM BREAK PROCESSING
    statement cannot be executed, because
    - no loop is active for an ESCAPE TOP, ESCAPE BOTTOM or
      PERFORM BREAK PROCESSING statement;
    - no FIND, READ, HISTOGRAM, CALL FILE, SORT or READ WORK FILE loop is
      active for an ACCEPT or REJECT statement.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT1325: Too many asterisks "*" found in pattern.

    Text
    Too many asterisks "*" found in pattern.
    Explanation
    A maximum of 10 asterisks "*" may be supplied in a pattern. If more "*"
    are found in the pattern, a table overflow occurs and therefore the
    execution is stopped. However, "**" is recognized as "*".
    Action
    Decrease the number of asterisks "*" in the pattern.

#### NAT1326: Range specified is outside field.

    Text
    Range specified is outside field.
    Explanation
    Error in the SUBSTRING option of a statement:
    - the starting position is not within the field; or
    - the value of the starting position is zero or negative; or
    - the specified length exceeds the length of the field; or
    - the length value is zero or negative.
    Error in the POSITION clause of an EXAMINE statement:
    - The FROM position is not within the field; or
    - the ENDING AT/THRU position is not within the field.
    Error in the CHARPOSITION clause of an EXAMINE statement:
    - the CHARPOSITION is not within the field.
    Action
    Check program and correct error.

#### NAT1328: No default code page available.

    Text
    No default code page available.
    Explanation
    The execution of the current statement requires that a default code
    page is defined.
    Action
    Define a default code page, using the CP parameter.
