The following is a list of Interface messages. They are stored in 'prefix.IMS.DATA(FOCIMS)' for MVS and in FOCIMS ERRORS for CMS, and they are subject to change.
Messages that refer to the XMI server also apply to the BMP extension.
On-line explanations are available for some messages. To see the explanatory information, issue the following from the FOCUS command level
? nwhere:
Is a message number.
The user's request does not reference any database fields. For example, it uses only defined fields that require no access to data, such as X = X + 1.
More memory is needed to construct tables and SSAs. Generally about 4K of additional memory will suffice. If that is not possible, reduce the sort work area by reducing the number of bins through the command SET BINS = m. A minimum of 13 bins is required.
Interface logic error—call your IBI representative.
No PCB could be found corresponding to the displayed Master File member name. Verify that the Master File member name has a matching entry in the FOCPSB description.
The displayed ddname allocated a communication dataset but there is no active XMI server job for it.

The XMI server is used, but none of the active XMI server jobs has a PCB corresponding to the displayed filename. The FOCPSB allocation may have been omitted from the server JCL.
The XMI server is used and all PCBs corresponding to the displayed filename are in use. Try again later.
The XMI server is not used and the locally issued DL/I call returned the displayed IMS error code. Refer to Common User Errors, for typical STATUS codes that accompany this message.

File FOCPSB was allocated and an I/O error occurred trying to read it.
File FOCPSB is allocated and contains a record with an invalid PCBTYPE attribute.
File FOCPSB was allocated but was empty or contained only comment records.
The 'TO' field in the JOIN must be in the root segment as seen through the PCB. Check the PSBGEN and clear the JOIN with the following command:
JOIN CLEAR joinname
The 'TO' field must have an ALIAS value that includes the suffix .KEY or .HKY in the Master File of the database cross-referenced in the JOIN (e.g., ALIAS=SSN.KEY).
The actual format of the 'FROM' and the usage format of the 'TO' field must be the same. No format conversion is allowed or will be performed.
The actual and usage formats of the 'TO' field must be the same. No data conversion is allowed or needed.
The formats of 'TO' and 'FROM' fields must be the same or their values must be comparable.
The 'TO' field is in a segment defined with a SEGTYPE of S0 or blank, indicating that there is no key for the segment. The JOIN command supports only keyed IMS segments—SEGTYPEs S1, S2, SH1, and SH2.
Data retrieval was terminated because of a limit imposed by the DBA. A report is displayed but may be incomplete due to this resource restriction.
Unable to communicate with the gateway machine. The gateway machine must be operating prior to a request for data from a DL/I database. Gateway user ID is not logged on or the gateway program is not running.
The gateway machine was unable to communicate with the database server in the other operating environment. Most likely the database server was not started prior to the report request.
Communication error. Most likely the gateway machine was logged off in the middle of a request. Restart the gateway and rerun the report request.
The USE command for access to a DL/I database does not include the filename displayed in the error message.
The gateway user ID is missing from the USE command. The USE command syntax to access DL/I data is either of the following:
USE FILENAME DLI * ON GATEUSERID
USE * DLI * ON GATEUSERID
If the 'TO' database is HDAM, you cannot do a short-to-long (partial to full) key JOIN.
This message is reserved for CALLIMS client-server communication.

Security profile is owned by the server, individual users cannot change it.
Individual users are not allowed to change PZP suffix in EDA/MSO environment.
Client is running OLD IMS and the XMI server is NEW, or client is running the NEW IMS interface (IMSX) and the XMI server is OLD.
The number of PCB entries in the FOCPSB file is greater than the number of PCBs in the PSBGEN of the active PSB.
The only valid modes on a server are REMOTE or DBCTL.
The segment is defined as keyed, but there is no .KEY field described in the MFD for that segment. Database will be processed sequentially.
This message will be accompanied by additional DBCTL messages that describe the situation.
All files in a request should point to the same PSBname.
