Text

Maximum rank for data structures is 3.

Explanation

In the data area editor, the command ".E" (extended field definition)
has been specified for a field inside a data structure, where the
rank (maximum dimension of the field) exceeds 3. All dimensions
of the previous substructures until level 1 and the dimension
of the current field are added to calculate the rank of the current
field.

Action

Check the data structure, or the field currently being edited, for
correct dimensions.

Text

Variable specified in REDEFINE not available.

Explanation

A variable used in a REDEFINE definition is not defined in the current

You have tried to modify the name of the DDM in the last column of
the data area editor screen. However, one or more of the fields
specified in the view are not defined in this DDM.

Action

Either do not change the DDM name, or specify the name of a DDM
which contains all fields in the view.

Text

Program name missing in GENERATE command.

Action

Issue GENERATE command with program name.

Text

Constant used as index has not been defined.

Explanation

A constant which is not numeric has been used as index for a
periodic group or multiple-value field.

Action

Check program and correct error.

Text

Undefined constant used as index for per.group/mult.field.

Explanation

A constant used as index for a periodic group or multiple-value field
must have been defined before it can be used for that purpose.

Action

Check program and correct error.

Text

CATALOG/PURGE command not available if RECAT=ON.

Explanation

The commands CATALOG and PURGE are not available if the parameter
RECAT (dynamic recatalog) has been set to RECAT=ON, either dynamically
or in the Natural parameter module.
Instead of CATALOG and PURGE, the commands STOW and SCRATCH should be
used.

Action

Use valid command or change parameter.

Check program and correct error.

Text

".*" command only allowed for mul.fields/periodic groups.

Explanation

In the data area editor, C* variables can be generated by using the
line command ".*" for a multiple-value field or a periodic group.
For all other kinds of lines, this command is not allowed.

Action

Enter ".*" command in a line of a multiple-value field or periodic
group.

Text

Only 1 "C*" variable allowed for a multiple-value field.

Explanation

You have used the command ".*" to generate a C* variable for a
multiple-value field for which a C* has already been defined.
Only one C* variable per multiple-value field is possible.

Action

Do not use this line command on this field.

Text

Function not available, because Predict is not installed.

Explanation

The Predict dictionary must be installed in order to perform the
function specified or to process the object specified.

Action

Install Predict, or do not use this function.

Text

DDM not consistent with Predict definitions.

Explanation

You have incorporated fields from a DDM into a data area.
However, the Predict definitions related to the DDM were modified
after the DDM had been generated. Therefore, the Predict definitions
were not incorporated into the data area.

Action

Either ignore, or generate the DDM again to avoid inconsistencies.
