Warning and Error Messages

This topic lists the error and warning messages that may appear in the Translator's Error, Debugging, and Audit reports. Error messages 13 through 17 and 20 through 23 are no longer used in this release and thus do not appear in this manual. Error messages displayed on the online menu are listed in the online help option.

FR001E UNSUCCESSFUL OPEN FOR CTFIN

COBOL input file (CTFIN) could not be opened.

FR002E COBOL SYNTAX ERROR - UNRECOGNIZED CLAUSE

The system was expecting a standard COBOL clause (for example, PIC, VALUE) and did not find one.

FR003E COBOL SYNTAX ERROR - RENAMES CLAUSE

The RENAMES clause in a COBOL input field violated COBOL syntax rules.

FR004E COBOL SYNTAX ERROR - PICTURE CLAUSE

The PICTURE clause in a COBOL input field violated COBOL syntax rules.

FR005E COBOL SYNTAX ERROR - VALUE CLAUSE

The VALUE clause in a COBOL input field violated COBOL syntax rules.

FR006E COBOL SYNTAX ERROR - USAGE CLAUSE

The USAGE clause in a COBOL input field violated COBOL syntax rules.

FR007E COBOL SYNTAX ERROR - BLANK ZERO CLAUSE

The BLANK WHEN ZERO clause in a COBOL input field violated COBOL syntax rules.

FR008E COBOL SYNTAX ERROR - SIGN CLAUSE

The SIGN clause in a COBOL input field violated COBOL syntax rules.

FR009E COBOL SYNTAX ERROR - INVALID LEVEL NUMBER

The COBOL input field had a level number not equal to 01 through 49, 66, 77, or 88.

FR010E UNALLOWABLE USAGE - DISPLAY-ST

System cannot process fields with this USAGE (DISPLAY STERLING).

FR011E INTERNAL TABLE OVERFLOW

The COBOL input record, after possible expansion via the OCCURS clause, contained more than 4,000 fields.

FR012E ERROR ENCOUNTERED WHILE SCANNING COBOL RECORD DESCRIPTIONS DEBUGGING OUTPUT FOLLOWS

One of the above COBOL-related errors (FR001E - FR011E) occurred.

FR018E SUFFIX MUST BE FIX, COM, ISAM, VSAM, IDMS, IMS OR DB2

Error in symbolic parameter SUFFIX.

FR019E SKPDASH MUST BE '0', '1', '2', OR '3'

Error in symbolic parameter SKPDASH.

FR024E ZONED USAGE MUST BE 'P' OR 'A'

Error in symbolic parameter ZONED.

FR026E ONE OR MORE ERRORS FOUND IN PARAMETER LIST - PROCESSING TERMINATED

One of the above symbolic parameter errors (FR013E - FR025E) has occurred.

FR027W 'SUFFIX=ISAM' SPECIFIED; 'ALIAS = KEY' SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE DESCRIPTION MANUALLY TO IDENTIFY THE ISAM KEY

System does not generate the SEGTYPE attribute used in the MFD when accessing ISAM files. Add the attribute after the MFD has been generated.

FR028W 'SUFFIX=VSAM' SPECIFIED; 'ALIAS = KEY' SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE DESCRIPTION MANUALLY TO IDENTIFY THE VSAM KEY

System does not generate the SEGTYPE attribute used in the MFD when accessing VSAM files. Add the attribute after the MFD has been generated.

FR029W REDEFINE='S' (SEGMENTS) VALID ONLY FOR FIX, VSAM, IDMS, IMS, AND DB2 FILE TYPES

REDEFINES parameter was internally set to N.

FR030W GROUP EXCEEDS MAX LENGTH - GENERATED AS COMMENT

The length of a COBOL group item exceeded the maximum allowable length for group items; therefore, the group item was commented in the MFD.

FR031W BINARY FIELDSIZE EXCEEDS MAXIMUM LENGTH - USAGE CHANGED TO ALPHANUMERIC

An unsupported double-word binary element was encountered. It has been described as alphanumeric.

FR032W FIELDNAME DUPLICATES A PREVIOUS FIELDNAME-QUALIFIER ADDED

A qualifier was added to a duplicate fieldname to ensure uniqueness.

FR033W ORIGINAL COBOL PICTURE CONTAINS MORE THAN 12 CHARACTERS- PRINTOUT OF PICTURE TRUNCATED

The original COBOL picture was too large to fit on the hardcopy report and was therefore truncated. (This does not affect the generated description.)

FR034W COBOL FIELD EXCEEDS MAX LENGTH - ADDITIONAL FIELDS GENERATED

The length of a COBOL field exceeded the maximum allowable length for fields in the MFD, therefore several smaller fields were generated.

FR035W 'value' IS A RESERVED WORD

The characters in quotes form a fieldname which is a reserved word (for example, RECTYPE). This may cause errors when the field is referenced in a report request.

FR036E CTFIN FILE EMPTY - NO FIELDS GENERATED

The COBOL input file was empty, or contained only comments; therefore, an MFD could not be created.

FR037W MORE THAN 1000 FIELDS GENERATED - ONLY FIRST 1000 CHECKED FOR DUPLICATE NAMES

More than 1,000 fields were generated in the output MFD. Because the system only checks and qualifies the first 1,000 for duplicate names, fields past this point may not have unique names.

FR038W MORE THAN ONE RECORD TYPE GENERATED - 'RECTYPE' FIELD WILL HAVE TO BE ADDED TO EACH SEGMENT MANUALLY TO IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENT RECORD TYPES

Two or more separate record descriptions (level-01 records) were input to the system. Add RECTYPE fields manually to each segment to ensure proper record identification during data retrieval.

FR039W GROUP FILLER - FIELD NOT GENERATED

System does not generate group items from COBOL group items with the name FILLER.

FR040E NAME LENGTH MUST BE 12 OR 30

The fieldname length must be 12 or 30 characters.

FR041E GROUP PRINT OPTION MUST BE P, A, OR N

The group print option must be 'P' (show printable groups only), 'A' (show all groups), or 'N' (do not include groups).

FR042E LEVEL 88 OPTION MUST BE Y OR N

The Level 88 option must be 'Y' (include level 88 elements as comments) or 'N' (do not include level 88 elements).

FR043E REDEFINES OPTION MUST BE S, C, OR N

The redefines option must be 'S' (include redefines as segments), 'C' (include redefines as comments), or 'N' (do not include redefines).

FR045E LONG PACKED OPTION MUST BE Y OR N

The long packed option must be 'Y' (describe long packed fields as packed) or 'N' (describe long packed fields as alphanumeric).

FR046E OCCURS SEGMENT OPTION MUST BE Y OR N

The occurs segment option must be 'Y' (describe repeating groups as segments) or 'N' (describe repeating groups as numbered fields).

FR047W OCCURRENCE NUMBERS TRUNCATED IN FIELDNAME

Repeating groups were described as numbered fields, but the fieldname size was not large enough to accommodate the fieldname and numbered suffix. The suffix was truncated.

FR048W VARIABLE OCCURS ENCOUNTERED IN RECORD - ALL OCCURS FIELDS WILL BE GENERATED AS SEGMENTS

The option to describe repeating groups as numbered fields was selected. A variable occurs was found in the COBOL FD and cannot be numbered. Fixed occurs will not be numbered, either.
