Genero BDL errors

A syntax error has occurred.

This general SQL error message indicates mistakes in the syntax of an SQL statement.

Look for missing or extra punctuation; keywords misspelled, misused, or out of sequence, or a reserved word used as an identifier.

An illegal floating point number has been found in the statement.

A numeric constant that is punctuated like a floating-point number (with a decimal point and/or an exponent starting with e) is unacceptable. Possibly the exponent is larger than can be processed.

The specified table table-name is not in the database.

The database server cannot find a table or view specified in the statement. The table or view might have been renamed or dropped from the database.

Statement interrupted by user.

The database server received an interrupt signal from the user. The statement ended early. The program is expected to roll back the current transaction and terminate gracefully.

Column column-name not found in any table in the query.

The column specified does not exist in the database tables used in this SQL statement.

Character column size is too big.

The SQL statement specifies a width for a character data type that is greater than 65,534 bytes.

If you need a column of this size, use the TEXT data type, which allows unlimited lengths. Otherwise, inspect the statement for typographical errors.

Number of columns in INSERT does not match number of VALUES.

Each column that is named or implied in an INSERT statement must have a separate value expression. If the statement does not list specific columns, review the definition of the table for the number of columns and their data types. Also check that the list of expressions in the VALUES clause has no extra or missing comma that might result in an incorrect number of values. Be especially careful of long character strings and expressions with parentheses.

Could not insert new row - duplicate value in a UNIQUE INDEX column.

The row that is being inserted (or being updated to have a new primary key) contains a duplicate value of some row that already exists, in a column or columns that are constrained to have unique values.

Could not do a physical-order read to fetch next row.

The database server cannot read the data block for this SQL client program. The database server returns this error when a record is locked by another process, and the lock timeout defined by the current program has expired.

Consider using the SET LOCK MODE TO WAIT instruction to define a lock timeout. By default, with most databases, this timeout is zero and error -244 is returned immediately when a lock conflict occurs. If all programs do short transactions (holding locks for a short period of time), it is usually safe to define a lock timeout of 5 to 10 seconds to avoid this SQL error.

Cannot read record from file for update.

The database server cannot get a row of a table prior to update.

ORDER BY or GROUP BY column number is too big.

The ORDER BY or GROUP BY clause uses column-sequence numbers, and at least one of them is larger than the count of columns in the select list.

Cannot read record from file for update.

The database server cannot get a row of a table prior to update.

Too many or too few host variables given.

The number of host variables that you named in the INTO clause of this statement does not match the number of columns that you referenced in the SQL statement.

Not in transaction.

The database server cannot execute this COMMIT WORK or ROLLBACK WORK statement because no BEGIN WORK was executed to start a transaction. Because no transaction was started, you cannot end one.

Transaction not available.

The database server does not support transactions.

System limit on maximum number of statements exceeded, maximum is count.

The database server can handle only a fixed number of prepared SQL statements for each user. This limit includes statements that were prepared with the PREPARE statement and cursors that were declared with the DECLARE statement.

Cursor not open.

The current statement refers to a cursor that has not been opened. Review the logic of the program to see how it failed to execute the OPEN statement before it reached this point.

Could not lock row for UPDATE.

This statement, probably a FETCH statement that names a cursor declared FOR UPDATE, failed to get a lock on the row it tried to fetch.

There is no current row for UPDATE/DELETE cursor.

The current statement uses the WHERE CURRENT OF cursor-name clause, but that cursor has not yet been associated with a current row. Either no FETCH statement has been executed since it was opened, or the most recent fetch resulted in an error so that no row was returned. Revise the logic of the program so that it always successfully fetches a row before it executes this statement.

Unique constraint constraint-name violated.

The current statement uses the WHERE CURRENT OF cursor-name clause, but that cursor has not yet been associated with a current row. Either no FETCH statement has been executed since it was opened, or the most recent fetch resulted in an error so that no row was returned. Revise the logic of the program so that it always successfully fetches a row before it executes this statement.

No SELECT permission for table/column.

The person who created this table has not granted SELECT privilege to your account name or to the public for the table or the column. The owner of the table or the DBA must grant this privilege before you can select data from the table or column.

No UPDATE permission for table/column.

The person who created this table has not granted UPDATE privilege to your account name or to the public for the table or the column. The owner of the table or the DBA must grant this privilege before you can update a row in this table or update the column.

No DELETE permission for table.

The person who created this table has not granted DELETE privilege to your account name or to the public. The owner of the table or the DBA must grant this privilege before you can delete a row in this table.

The Insert privilege is required for this operation.

The Insert access privilege on this table or column is not currently held by your account name, nor by the PUBLIC group, nor by your current role. The owner of the table or the DBA must grant the Insert privilege before you can insert a row into this table.

A quoted string exceeds 256 bytes.

A character literal in this statement exceeds the maximum length. Check the punctuation and length of all quoted strings in the statement. Possibly two missing quotes make a long string out of two short ones. You must revise the statement to use a shorter character string.

Found a quote for which there is no matching quote.

Inspect the current statement, examining the punctuation of all quoted strings.

A subquery has returned not exactly one row.

A subquery that is used in an expression in the place of a literal value must return only a single row and a single column. In this statement, a subquery has returned more than one row, and the database server cannot choose which returned value to use in the expression. You can ensure that a subquery will always return a single row. Use a WHERE clause that tests for equality on a column that has a unique index. Or select only an aggregate function. Review the subqueries, and check that they can return only a single row.

This error can also occur when you use a singleton SELECT statement to retrieve multiple rows. You must use the DECLARE/OPEN/FETCH series of statements or the EXECUTE INTO statement to retrieve multiple rows.

Invalid cursor received by sqlexec.

The cursor that this statement uses has not been properly declared or prepared, or the FREE statement has released it, or an automatic re-prepare has been attempted while opening the cursor but that operation failed, leaving the cursor unavailable. Review the program logic to ensure that the cursor has been declared. If it has, and if the DECLARE statement refers to a statement identifier, check that the referenced statement has been prepared.

Cursor not declared with FOR UPDATE clause.

This statement attempts to update with a cursor that was not declared for update. To use a cursor with the UPDATE or DELETE statements, you must declare it FOR UPDATE. Review the program logic to make sure that this statement uses the intended cursor.

The column column-name must be in the GROUP BY list.

In a grouping SELECT, you must list every nonaggregate column in the GROUP BY clause to ensure that a well-defined value exists for each selected column in each grouped row. A column contains either a single aggregate value or a value unique to that group. If a selected column were neither an aggregate nor in the list, two or more values for that column might possibly exist in some group, and the database server is unable to choose which value to display. Revise the query to include either the column name or its positional number in the clause.

Illegal subscript.

The substring values (two numbers in square brackets) of a character variable are incorrect. The first is less than zero or greater than the length of the column, or the second is less than the first.

Review all uses of square brackets in the statement to find the error. Possibly the size of a column has been altered and makes a substring fail that used to work.

ORDER BY column or expression must be in SELECT list.

An expression or column name is in the ORDER BY clause of this SELECT statement, but the expression or column name is not in the select list (the list of values that follows the word SELECT). This action is not supported when a UNIQUE or DISTINCT operator is being used in a query.

Index index-name already exists in database.

This statement tries to create an index with the name shown, but an index of that name already exists. Only one index of a given name can exist in a single database.

Ambiguous column column-name.

The column name appears in more than one of the tables that are listed in the FROM clause of this query. The database server needs to know which columns to use. Revise the statement so that this name is prefixed by the name of its table (table-name.column) wherever it appears in the query.

Database not found or no system permission.

The database you tried to connect to is not known by the db server.

Check database client configuration settings and make sure that there is no spelling error in the name of the database

Cannot create or rename the database.

Possibly you tried to create a database with the same name as one that already exists or rename a database to a name that already exists; if so, choose a different name.

Database not selected yet.

The SQL statement cannot be executed because no current database exists. You must issue a DATABASE or CONNECT TO instruction before executing other SQL statements.

Index already exists on the column (or on the set of columns).

This CREATE INDEX statement cannot be executed because an index on the same column or combination of columns already exists. For a given collation order, at most two indexes can exist on any combination of columns, one ascending and one descending.

Incorrect database or cursor name format.

This statement contains the name of a database or a cursor in some invalid format. If the statement is part of a program, the name might have been passed in a host variable.

Cannot modify a table or view that is also used in subquery.

The UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE statement uses data taken from the same table in a subquery. Because of the danger of entering an endless loop, this action is not allowed, except in the case of an uncorrelated subquery in the WHERE clause of the DELETE or UPDATE statement.

CURSOR not on SELECT statement.

The cursor named in this statement (probably an OPEN) has been associated with a prepared statement that is not a SELECT statement.

Review the program logic, especially the DECLARE for the cursor, the statement id specified in it, and the PREPARE that set up that statement. If you intended to use a cursor with an INSERT statement, you can only do that when the INSERT statement is written as part of the DECLARE statement. If you intended to execute an SQL statement, do that directly with the EXECUTE statement, not indirectly through a cursor.

The scale exceeds the maximum precision specified.

A problem exists with the precision or scale of a DECIMAL or a MONEY data type usage, for example in a DEFINE statement. It is recommended to declare DECIMAL as DECIMAL(p) or DECIMAL(p,s), where p is the precision (total number of digits) between 1 and 32, and s, is the scale (number of digits to the right of the decimal point) greater or equal to zero and not greater than p. The MONEY type follows the same rules.

Review the DECIMAL or MONEY type definition, and make sure that the precision is in the range [1,32] and that the scale is in the range [0,precision].

Cannot create unique index on column with duplicate data.

This CREATE UNIQUE INDEX statement cannot be completed because the column (or columns) contains one or more duplicate rows.

Same number of columns must be specified for view and select clause.

In this VIEW statement, you have listed the names of the columns of the view. However, their number is different from the number of columns in the SELECT statement for the view. Check the punctuation of the two lists, and make sure that you have supplied a name for each item in the select list.

No connect permission.

You cannot access the database that this statement requests because you have not been granted CONNECT privilege to it. Contact a person who has Database Administrator privilege to that database and ask to be granted CONNECT privileges to it.

No resource permission.

If you issued a CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, or CREATE PROCEDURE statement, you cannot execute this statement because your account has not been granted the RESOURCE privilege for this database. You need the RESOURCE privilege to create permanent tables, indexes on permanent tables, and procedures.

No DBA permission.

This statement cannot be executed because you have not been granted DBA privilege for this database. Contact a person who has DBA privilege for the database and ask to be granted DBA privilege (or simply ask to have this statement executed for you).

Cannot insert a null into column column-name.

This statement tries to put a null value in the noted column. However, that column has been defined as NOT NULL. Roll back the current transaction. If this is a program, review the definition of the table, and change the program logic to not use null values for columns that cannot accept them.

Fetch attempted on unopen cursor.

This FETCH statement names a cursor that has never been opened or has been closed. Review the program logic, and check that it will open the cursor before this point and not accidentally close it. Unless a cursor is declared WITH HOLD, it is automatically closed by a COMMIT WORK or ROLLBACK WORK statement.

The cursor or statement is not available.

You used a statement that names a cursor that is was destroyed. Review the program logic and check that the cursor specified is declared and opened, but not freed, prior to reaching this statement.

Prepare statement failed or was not executed.

This EXECUTE statement refers to a statement id that has not been prepared. Either no PREPARE statement was done, or one was done but returned an error code. Review the program logic to ensure that a statement is prepared and the PREPARE return code is checked. A negative error code from PREPARE usually reflects an error in the statement being prepared.

Command pointer is NULL.

This statement (probably an EXECUTE or DECLARE) refers to a dynamic SQL statement that has never been prepared or that has been freed. Review the program logic to ensure that the statement has been prepared, the PREPARE did not return an error code, and the FREE statement has not been used to release the statement before this point.

Insert attempted on unopen cursor.

This INSERT statement names a cursor that has never been opened or that has been closed. Review the program logic, and check that it will open the cursor before this point and not accidentally close it. An insert cursor is automatically closed by a COMMIT WORK or ROLLBACK WORK statement.

Flush attempted on unopen cursor.

This FLUSH statement names a cursor that has never been opened or has been closed. Review the program logic to ensure that it will open the cursor before this point and not accidentally close it. An insert cursor is automatically closed by a COMMIT WORK or ROLLBACK WORK.

Illegal ESQL locator, or uninitialized blob variable in BDL.

An SQL statement is using a TEXT or BYTE variable that was not initialized with LOCATE IN FILE or MEMORY.

LOCATE the TEXT or BYTE variable before using it in SQL statements.

Long transaction aborted.

The database server ran out of log space in which to record this transaction. A transaction that is not fully recorded cannot be rolled back. To preserve database integrity, the operating system ended the transaction and rolled it back automatically. All changes made since the start of the transaction have been removed. Terminate the application, and replan it so that it modifies fewer rows per transaction. Alternatively, contact the database server administrator to discuss increasing the number or the size of the logical logs. Be prepared to talk about the number of rows being updated or inserted and the size of each row.

Invalid statement name or statement was not prepared.

The statement has not been prepared, or the format of the statement name is not valid. A valid statement name does not exceed the maximum length, begins with a letter or underscore, does not contain any blanks or nonalphanumeric characters except underscores.

Invalid operation on a non-SCROLL cursor.

You cannot issue a FETCH PRIOR, FETCH FIRST, FETCH LAST, FETCH CURRENT, FETCH RELATIVE n, or FETCH ABSOLUTE n statement with a non-scroll cursor. To do so, you must first declare the cursor as a scroll cursor.

Cursor cursor-name not found.

The cursor that is named in the WHERE CURRENT OF clause in this UPDATE or DELETE statement does not exist. Review the spelling of the name. If it is as you intended, check the DECLARE statement to ensure that it has been executed. Also make sure that the cursor has not been freed with the FREE statement or during a failed automatic re-prepare attempt.

Statement not available with this database server.

The SQL statement used by the program is not valid for the target database server.

Review the code, the SQL instruction cannot be used.

The total size of the index is too large or too many parts in index.

All database servers have limits on the number of columns that can be included in an index and on the total number of bytes in a key (the sum of the widths of the columns). This CREATE INDEX statement would exceed that limit for this database server.

Table table-name not selected in query.

The table name used in an expression (for example, in the WHERE clause) has not been listed in the clause defining the tables to be used in the query (typically the FROM clause in SELECT statements).

Updates are not allowed on a scroll cursor.

For a DECLARE statement, the clause FOR UPDATE is not allowed in conjunction with the SCROLL keyword.

Check constraint constraint-name failed.

The check constraint placed on the table column was violated.

Already in transaction.

This BEGIN WORK statement is redundant; a transaction is already in progress. If this is a program, review its logic to make sure it has not accidentally failed to end the previous transaction.

The constraint contains too many columns.

The total number of columns listed in a UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, or FOREIGN KEY clause is limited. The limit depends on the database server in use.

Scroll cursor can't select TEXT or BYTE columns.

Because of the bulk of TEXT and BYTE values, this action would require too much resources to be performed. Review the declaration of the cursor to select the desired columns of other types and also the primary key column. Use a secondary SELECT statement to fetch TEXT/BYTE columns for a given row, by using the primary key column value.

Routine routine-name cannot be resolved.

You called a routine that does not exist in the database, you do not have permission to execute the routine, or you called the routine with too few or too many arguments.

Column specified more than once in the INSERT list.

The error occurs if the user specifies a column name more than once in the INSERT column list.

Missing key in referenced table for referential constraint constraint-name.

A referential constraint has been violated. This condition usually occurs when you are trying to insert a value into or update the value of a column that is part of a referential constraint. The value you are trying to enter does not exist in the referenced (parent-key) column.

Key value for constraint constraint-name is still being referenced.

You have violated a referential constraint. This situation usually occurs when you are trying to delete a row in a column (parent key) that another row (child key) is referencing. If you are using cascading deletes, database logging must be on.

Object object_name already exists in database.

You are trying to define an object that already exists in the database.

Internal error in routine routine-name.

If this internal error recurs, note all circumstances and contact your technical support.

Cannot open file for load.

The input file that is specified in this LOAD statement is unable to be opened.

Check the statement. Possibly a more complete path name is needed, the file does not exist, or your account does not have read permission for the file or a directory in which it resides.

Cannot open file for unload.

The output file that is specified in this UNLOAD statement is unable to be opened.

Check the statement. Possibly a more complete path name is needed; the file exists, but your account does not have write permission for it; or the disk is full.

SQL Syntax error has occurred.

The INSERT statement in this LOAD/UNLOAD statement has invalid syntax.

Review it for punctuation and use of keywords.

Number of values in load file is not equal to number of columns.

The LOAD processor counts the delimiters in the first line of the file to determine the number of values in the load file. One delimiter must exist for each column in the table, or for each column in the list of columns if one is specified.

Check that you specified the file that you intended and that it uses the correct delimiter character. An empty line in the text can also cause this error. If the LOAD statement does not specify a delimiter, verify that the default delimiter matches the delimiter that is used in the file. If you are in doubt about the default delimiter, specify the delimiter in the LOAD statement.

Cannot connect to database server servername.

The application is trying to access the database server but failed.

Transaction commit failed - transaction will be rolled back.

This error can occur at transaction-commit time if the database server is unable to commit the transaction.

Field name not found in form.

A field name listed in an INPUT, INPUT ARRAY, CONSTRUCT, SCROLL or DISPLAY statement does not appear in the form specification of the screen form that is currently displayed.

Review the program logic to ensure that the intended window is current, the intended form is displayed in it, and all the field names in the statement are spelled correctly.

Field subscript out of bounds.

The subscript of a screen array in an INPUT, DISPLAY, or CONSTRUCT statement is either less than 1 or greater than the number of fields in the array.

Review the program source in conjunction with the form specification to see where the error lies.

Record name not in form.

The screen record that is named in an INPUT ARRAY or DISPLAY ARRAY statement does not appear in the screen form that is now displayed.

Review the program source in conjunction with the form specification to see if the screen record names match.

List and record field counts differ.

The number of program variables does not agree with the number of screen fields in a CONSTRUCT, INPUT, INPUT ARRAY, DISPLAY, or DISPLAY ARRAY statement.

Review the statement in conjunction with the form specification to see where the error lies. Common problems include a change in the definition of a screen record that is not reflected in every statement that uses the record, and a change in a program record that is not reflected in the form design.

Form file (file-name) not found.

The form file that is specified in an OPEN FORM or OPEN WINDOW WITH FORM statement was not found.

Inspect the form name used in the statement. The form file suffix is not required. If the form is not in the current directory, verify that FGLRESOURCEPATH / DBPATH environment variables contain the path to the form file.

A form is incompatible with the current BDL version. Rebuild your form.

The form file that is specified in an OPEN FORM statement is not acceptable. Possibly it was corrupted in some way, or it was compiled with a version of the Form Compiler that is not compatible with the version of the BDL compiler that compiled this program.

Use a current version of the Form Compiler to recompile the form specification.

No form has been displayed.

The current statement requires the use of a screen form. For example, DISPLAY...TO or an INPUT statement must use the fields of a form. However, the DISPLAY FORM statement has not been executed since the current window was opened.

Review the program logic to ensure that it opens and displays a form before it tries to use a form.

NEXT FIELD name not found in form.

This statement (INPUT or INPUT ARRAY) contains a NEXT FIELD clause that names a field that is not defined in the form.

Review the form and program logic. Perhaps the form has been changed, but the program has not.

Field ( field-name ) in BEFORE/AFTER clause not found in form.

This statement includes a BEFORE FIELD clause or an AFTER FIELD clause that names a field that is not defined in the form that is currently displayed.

Review the program to ensure that the intended form was displayed, and review this statement against the form specification to ensure that existing fields are named.

The NEXT OPTION name is not in the menu.

This MENU statement contains a NEXT OPTION clause that names a menu-option that is not defined in the statement.

The string that follows NEXT OPTION must be identical to one that follows a COMMAND clause in the same MENU statement. Review the statement to ensure that these clauses agree with each other.

NEXT OPTION is a hidden option.

The option that is named in this NEXT OPTION statement has previously been hidden with the HIDE OPTION statement. Because it is not visible to the user, it cannot be highlighted as the next choice.

Use the SHOW OPTION statement to unhide the menu option.

Cannot close window with active INPUT, DISPLAY ARRAY, or MENU statement.

This CLOSE WINDOW statement cannot be executed because an input operation is still active in that window. The CLOSE WINDOW statement must have been contained in, or called from within, the input statement itself.

Review the program logic, and revise it so that the statement completes before the window is closed.

Window is already open.

This OPEN WINDOW statement names a window that is already open.

Review the program logic to see if it contains a CLOSE WINDOW statement. It may be possible that you simply need to use a CURRENT WINDOW statement to bring the open window to the top.

PROMPT message is too long to fit in the window.

Although BDL truncates the output of MESSAGE and COMMENT to fit the window dimensions, it does not do so for PROMPT and the user's response.

Reduce the length of the prompt string, or make the window larger. Another option is to display most of the prompting text with DISPLAY and then prompt with a single space or colon.

Window is too small to display this menu.

The window must be at least two rows tall, and it must be wide enough to display the menu title, the longest option name, two sets of three-dot ellipses, and six spaces. Revise the program to make the window larger or to give the menu a shorter name and shorter options.

Review the OPEN WINDOW statement for the current window in conjunction with this MENU statement.

Command does not appear in the menu.

The SHOW OPTION, HIDE OPTION, or NEXT OPTION statement cannot refer to an option (command) that does not exist.

Check the spelling of the name of the option.

The type of your terminal is unknown to the system.

Check the setting of your TERM environment variable and the setting of your TERMCAP or TERMINFO environment variable.

Check with your system administrator if you need help with this action.

An attempt was made to divide by zero.

Zero cannot be a divisor.

Check that the divisor is not zero. In some cases, this error arises because the divisor is a character value that does not convert properly to numeric.

Invalid year in date.

The year in a DATE value or literal is invalid. For example, the number 0000 is not acceptable as the year.

Check the value of year.

Invalid month in date.

The month in a DATE value or literal must be a one- or two-digit number from 1 to 12.

Check the value of month.

Invalid day in date.

The day number in a DATE value or literal must a one- or two-digit number from 1 to 28 (or 29 in a leap year), 30, or 31, depending on the month that accompanies it.

Check the value of day.

Date could not be converted to month/day/year format.

The DATE type is compatible with the INTEGER type, but not all integer values are valid dates. The range of valid integer values for dates is from -693,594 to +2,958,464. Numbers that are outside this range have no representation as dates.

Check the value of the number used to assign the date variable.

Date conversion format must contain a month, day, and year component.

When a date value is converted between internal binary format and display or entry format, a pattern directs the conversion. When conversion is done automatically, the pattern comes from the environment variable DBDATE. When it is done with an explicit call to the rfmtdate(), rdefmtdate(), or USING functions, a pattern string is passed as a parameter. In any case, the pattern string (the format of the message) must include letters that show the location of the three parts of the date: 2 or 3 letters d; 2 or 3 letters m; and either 2 or 4 letters y.

Check the pattern string and the value of DBDATE.

A character to numeric conversion process failed.

A character value is being converted to numeric form for storage in a numeric column or variable. However, the character string cannot be interpreted as a number.

Check the character string. It must not contain characters other than white space, digits, a sign, a decimal, or the letter e. Verify the parts are in the right order. If you are using NLS, the decimal character or thousands separator might be wrong for your locale.

Value too large to fit in a SMALLINT.

The SMALLINT data type can accept numbers with a value range from -32,767 to +32,767.

To store numbers that are outside this range, redefine the column or variable to use INTEGER or DECIMAL type.

Value too large to fit in an INTEGER.

The INTEGER data type can accept numbers with a value range from -2,147,483,647 to +2,147,483,647.

Check the other data types available, such as DECIMAL.

String to date conversion error.

The data value does not properly represent a date: either it has non-digits where digits are expected, an unexpected delimiter, or numbers that are too large or are inconsistent.

Check the value being converted.

Value will not fit in a SMALLFLOAT.

A statement tries to assign a value that exceeds the limits of the SMALLFLOAT data type.

Review the code and consider using a FLOAT or DECIMAL type.

Value will not fit in a FLOAT.

A statement tries to assign a value that exceeds the limits of the FLOAT data type.

Review the code and consider using a DECIMAL type.

Decimal or money value exceeds maximum precision.

The data value has more digits to the left of the decimal point than the declaration of the variable allows.

Revise the program to define the variable with an appropriate precision.

It is not possible to convert between the specified types.

Data conversion does not make sense, or is not supported.

Possibly you referenced the wrong variable or column. Check that you have specified the data types that you intended and that literal representations of data values are correctly formatted.

Too many digits in the first field of datetime or interval.

The first field of a DATETIME literal must contain 1 or 2 digits (if it is not a YEAR) or else 2 or 4 digits (if it is a YEAR). The first field of an INTERVAL literal represents a count of units and can have up to 9 digits, depending on the precision that is specified in its qualifier.

Review the DATETIME and INTERVAL literals in this statement, and correct them.

Non-numeric character in datetime or interval.

A DATETIME or INTERVAL literal can contain only decimal digits and the allowed delimiters: the hyphen between year, month, and day numbers; the space between day and hour; the colon between hour, minute, and second; and the decimal point between second and fraction. Any other characters, or these characters in the wrong order, produce an error.

Check the value of the literal.

A field in a datetime or interval is out of range.

At least one of the fields in a datetime or interval is incorrect.

Inspect the DATE, DATETIME, and INTERVAL literals in this statement. In a DATE or DATETIME literal, the year might be zero, the month might be other than 1 to 12, or the day might be other than 1 to 31 or inappropriate for the month. Also in a DATETIME literal, the hour might be other than 0 to 23, the minute or second might be other than 0 to 59, or the fraction might have too many digits for the specified precision.

Extra characters at the end of a datetime or interval.

Only spaces can follow a DATETIME or INTERVAL literal.

Inspect this statement for missing or incorrect punctuation.

Overflow occurred on a datetime or interval operation.

An arithmetic operation involving a DATETIME and/or INTERVAL produced a result that cannot fit in the target variable.

Check if the data type can hold the result of the operation. For example, extend the INTERVAL precision by using YEAR(9) or DAY(9).

Intervals or datetimes are incompatible for the operation.

An arithmetic operation mixes DATETIME and/or INTERVAL values that do not match.

Check the data types of the variable used in the operation.

The result of a datetime computation is out of range.

In this statement, a DATETIME computation produced a value that cannot be stored. This situation can occur, for example, if a large interval is added to a DATETIME value. This error can also occur if the resultant date does not exist, such as Feb 29, 1999.

Review the expressions in the statement and see if you can change the sequence of operations to avoid the overflow.

Invalid datetime or interval qualifier.

This statement contains a DATETIME or INTERVAL qualifier that is not acceptable. These qualifiers can contain only the words YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, MINUTE, SECOND, FRACTION, and TO. A number from 1 to 5 in parentheses can follow FRACTION.

Inspect the statement for missing punctuation and misspelled words. A common error is adding an s, as in MINUTES.

Value exceeds string column length.

You attempted to insert into a CHAR, NCHAR, VARCHAR, NVARCHAR or LVARCHAR column using a string host variable, but the string is too long.

Value will not fit in a BIGINT or INT8.

The BIGINT data type can accept numbers with a value range from -9223372036854775807 to +9223372036854775807.

To store numbers that are outside this range, redefine the column or variable to use the DECIMAL type.

This value is not among the valid possibilities.

A list or range of acceptable values has been established for this column in the form-specification file.

You must enter a value within the acceptable range.

The two entries were not the same -- please try again.

To guard against typographical errors, this field has been designated VERIFY in the form-specification file. You must enter the value in this field twice, identically.

Carefully reenter the data. Alternatively, you can cancel the form entry with the Interrupt key.

You cannot use this editing feature because a picture exists.

This field is defined in the form-specification file with a PICTURE attribute to specify its format.

You cannot use certain editing keys (for example, CTRL-A, CTRL-D, and CTRL-X) while you are editing such a field. Use only printable characters and backspace to enter the value.

Error in field.

You entered a value in this field that cannot be stored in the program variable that is meant to receive it.

Possibly you entered a decimal number when the application provided only an integer variable, or you entered a character string that is longer than the application expected.

This field requires an entered value.

The cursor is in a form field that has been designated REQUIRED.

You must enter some value before the cursor can move to another field. To enter a null value, type any printable character and then backspace. Alternatively, you can cancel the form entry with the Interrupt key.

Please type again for verification.

The cursor is in a form field that has been designated VERIFY. This procedure helps to ensure that no typographical errors occur during data entry.

You must enter the value twice, identically, before the cursor can move to another field. Alternatively, you can cancel the form entry with the Interrupt key.

Cannot insert another row - the input array is full.

You are entering data into an array of records that is represented in the program by a static array of program variables. That array is now full; no place is available to store another record.

Press the ACCEPT key to process the records that you have entered.

Cannot delete row - it has no data.

There are no more rows in the direction you are going.

You are attempting to scroll an array of records farther than it can go, either scrolling up at the top or scrolling down at the bottom of the array. Further attempts will have the same result.

FORMS statement error number error-num.

An error occurred in the form at runtime.

Edit your source file: go to the specified line, correct the error, and recompile the file.

SQL statement error number error-num.

The current SQL statement returned this error code number.

Program stopped at 'filename', line number line-number.

At runtime an error occurred in the specified file at the specified line. No .err file is generated.

Edit your source file, go to the specified line, correct the error, and recompile the file.

A parameter count mismatch has occurred between the calling function and the called function.

Either too many or too few parameters were given in the call to the function.

The call is probably in a different source module from the called functions. Inspect the definition of the function, and check all places where it is called to ensure that they use the number of parameters that it declares.

A function has not returned the correct number of values expected.

A function that returns several variables has not returned the correct number of parameters.

Check your source code and recompile.

A validation error has occurred as a result of the VALIDATE command.

The VALIDATE LIKE statement tests the current value of variables against rules that are stored in the syscolval table. It has detected a mismatch.

Ordinarily, the program would use the WHENEVER statement to trap this error and display or correct the erroneous values. Inspect the VALIDATE statement to see which variables were being tested and find out why they were wrong.

A report output file cannot be opened: description

The file that the REPORT TO statement specifies cannot be opened. See the description for more details.

Check that your account has permission to write such a file, that the disk is not full, and that you have not exceeded some limit on the number of open files.

A report output pipe cannot be opened.

The pipe that the REPORT TO PIPE statement specifies is unable to be started.

Check that all programs that are named in it exist and are accessible from your execution path. Also look for operating-system messages that might give more specific errors.

A report output file cannot be written to.

The file that the REPORT TO statement specifies was opened, but an error occurred while writing to it.

Possibly the disk is full. Look for operating- system messages that might give more information.

An array variable has been referenced outside of its specified dimensions.

The subscript expression for an array has produced a number that is either less than one or greater than the number of elements in the array.

Review the program logic that leads up to this statement to determine how the error was made.

An insert statement could not be prepared for inserting rows into a temporary table used for a report.

Within the report function, BDL generated an SQL statement to save rows into a temporary table. The dynamic preparation of the statement (see the reference material on the PREPARE statement) produced an error.

Probably the database tables are not defined now, at execution time, as they were when the program was compiled. Either the database has been changed, or the program has selected a different database than the one that was current during compilation. Possibly the database administrator has revoked SELECT privilege from you for one or more of the tables that the report uses. Look for other error messages that might give more details.

A temporary table needed for a report could not be created in the selected database.

Within the report definition, BDL generated an SQL statement to save rows into a temporary table, but is unable to create the temporary table.

You must have permission to create tables in the selected database, and there must be sufficient disk space left in the database. You may already have a table in your current database with the same name as the temporary table that the report definition is attempting to create as a sorting table; the sorting table is named "t_ reportname ". Another possible cause with some database servers is that you have exceeded an operating-system limit on open files.

A database index could not be created for a temporary database table needed for a report.

Within the report definition, BDL generated SQL statements to save rows into a temporary table. However, an index failed to be created on the temporary table.

Probably an index with the same name already exists in the database. (The sorting index is named "i_reportname"; for example, "i_order_rpt".) Possibly no disk space is available in the file system or dbspace. Another possibility with some database servers is that you have exceeded an operating-system limit on open files.

A row could not be inserted into a temporary report table.

Within the report definition, BDL generated SQL statements that would save rows into a temporary table. However, an error occurred while rows were being inserted.

Probably no disk space is left in the database. Look for other error messages that might give more details.

A row could not be fetched from a temporary report table.

Within the report definition, BDL generated SQL statements to select rows from a temporary table. The table was built successfully but now an error occurred while rows were being retrieved from it.

Almost the only possible cause is a hardware failure or an error in the database server. Check for operating-system messages that might give more details.

A character variable has referenced subscripts that are out of range.

In the current statement, a variable that is used in taking a substring of a character value contains a number less than one or a number greater than the size of the variable, or the first substring expression is larger than the second.

Review the program logic that leads up to this statement to find the cause of the error.

A report is accepting output or being finished before it has been started.

The program executed an OUTPUT TO REPORT or FINISH REPORT statement before it executed a START REPORT.

Review the program logic that leads up to this statement to find the cause of the error.

The variable variable-name has been redefined with a different type or length, definition in module-name-1.4gl, redefinition in module-name-2.4gl.

The variable that is shown is defined in the GLOBALS section of two or more modules, but it is defined differently in some modules than in others.

Possibly modules were compiled at different times, with some change to the common GLOBALS file between. Possibly the variable is declared as a module variable in some module that does not include the GLOBALS file.

The function 'function-name' has not been defined in any module in the program.

The named function is called from at least one module of the program, but it is defined in none.

Verify that the module containing the function is a part of the program, and that the function name is correctly spelled.

The error log has not been started.

The program called the errorlog() function without first calling the startlog() function.

Review the program logic to find out the cause of this error.

Character to numeric conversion error.

A character value is being converted to numeric form for storage in a numeric column or variable. However, the character string cannot be interpreted as a number. It contains some characters other than white space, digits, a sign, a decimal, or the letter e, or else the parts are in the wrong order so that the number cannot be deciphered.

Use '!' to edit TEXT and BYTE fields.

This is a normal message text used outside an error context.

Cannot build temporary file.

A TEXT or BYTE variable has been located in a temporary file using the LOCATE statement. The current statement assigns a value into that variable, so BDL attempted to create the temporary file, but an error occurred.

Possibly no disk space is available, or your account does not have permission to create a temporary file. Look for operating-system error messages that might give more information.

Read error on blob file 'file-name'.

The operating system signaled an error during output to a temporary file in which a TEXT or BYTE variable was being saved.

Possibly the disk is full, or a hardware failure occurred. For more information, look for operating-system messages.

No PROGRAM= clause for this field.

No external program has been designated for this field using the PROGRAM attribute in the form-specification file (For Text User Interface mode on ASCII terminals only)

The field 'field-name' is not in the list of fields in the CONSTRUCT/INPUT statement.

The built-in function get_fldbuf() or field_touched() has been called with the field name shown. However, input from that field was not requested in this CONSTRUCT or INPUT statement. As a result, the function cannot return any useful value.

Review all uses of these functions, and compare them to the list of fields at the beginning of the statement.

SQL character truncation or transaction warning.

The program set WHENEVER WARNING STOP, and a warning condition arose. If the statement involved is a DATABASE statement, the condition is that the database that was just opened uses a transaction log. On any other statement, the condition is that a character value from the database had to be truncated to fit in its destination.

SQL NULL value in aggregate or mode ANSI database warning.

The program set WHENEVER WARNING STOP, and a warning condition arose. If the statement that is involved is a DATABASE statement, the condition is that the database that was just opened is ANSI compliant. On any other statement, the condition is that a null value has been used in the computation of an aggregate value.

SQL, database server, or program variable mismatch warning.

The program set WHENEVER WARNING STOP, and a warning condition arose. If the statement that is involved is a DATABASE or CREATE DATABASE statement, the condition is that the database server opened the database. On any other statement, the condition is that a SELECT statement returned more values than there were program variables to contain them.

SQL float-to-decimal conversion warning.

The program set WHENEVER WARNING STOP, and a warning condition arose. The condition is that in the database that was just opened, the database server will use the DECIMAL data type for FLOAT values.

SQL non-ANSI extension warning.

A database operation was performed that is not part of ANSI SQL, although the current database is ANSI compliant. This message is informational only.

A report PRINT FILE source file cannot be opened for reading.

The file that is named in a PRINT FILE statement cannot be opened.

Review the file name. If it is not in the current directory, you must specify the full path. If the file exists, make sure your account has permissions to read it.

The character data value does not convert correctly to the field type.

You have entered a character value (a quoted string) into a field that has a different data type (for example INTEGER). However, the characters that you entered cannot be converted to the type of the field.

Re-enter the data.

There is already a record 'record-name' specified.

A screen record is automatically defined for each table that is used in the ATTRIBUTES section to define a field. If you define a record with the name of a table, it is seen as a duplicate.

Check that the record-name of every screen record and screen array is unique in the form specification.

The symbol 'symbol-name' does not represent a table prefix used in this form.

In a SCREEN RECORD statement, each component must be introduced by the name of the table as defined in the TABLES section or by the word FORMONLY.

Review the spelling of the indicated name against the TABLES section, and check the punctuation of the rest of the statement.

Screen record array 'record-name' has different component sizes.

The screen record array name has component sizes which either differ from the specified dimension of the array or differ among themselves. This error message appears when one or more of the columns appear a different number of times.

The dimension of the screen array is written in square brackets that follow its name. Verify that the dimensions of the screen array match the screen fields.

The attributes AUTONEXT, DEFAULT, INCLUDE, VERIFY, RIGHT and ZEROFILL are not supported for BLOB fields.

Columns of the data type specified cannot be used in the ways that these attributes imply.

Check that the table and column names are as you intended, and verify the current definition of the table in the database that the DATABASE statement names.

The form 'form-name' cannot be opened.

The form filename cannot be opened. This is probably because it does not exist, or the user does not have read permission.

Check the spelling of filename. Check that the form file exists in your current directory. If it is in another directory, check that the correct pathname has been provided. On a UNIX™ system, if these things are correct, verify that your account has read permission on the file.

The conditional attributes of a field cannot depend on the values of other fields.

The boolean expression in a WHERE clause of a COLOR attribute can use only the name of that field and constants.

Revise this attribute, and recompile the form.

Field 'field-name' has validation string error, String = string.

One of the formatting or validation strings that is stored in the syscolval or syscolatt tables is improperly coded. The string is shown as is the field to which it applies.

Update the string in the tables.

The name 'database-name' is not an existing database name.

This name, which was found in the DATABASE statement at the start of the form specification, is not a database that can be found.

Check the spelling of the database name and the database entries in the FGLPROFILE file.

The label name between brackets is incorrectly given or the label is missing.

In the layout section of a form specification, it is recommended that brackets contain a simple name. Instead, they contain spaces or an invalid name.

Check the layout section of the form for invalid form item labels.

A left square bracket has been found on this line, with no right square bracket to match it.

Every left square bracket field delimiter must have a right square bracket delimiter on the same line.

Review the form definition file to make sure all fields are properly marked.

The field label 'label-name' was not defined in the form.

The indicated name appears at the left of this ATTRIBUTES statement, but it does not appear within brackets in the SCREEN section.

Review the field tags that have been defined to see why this one was omitted.

The column 'column-name' does not appear in the form specification.

A name in this ATTRIBUTES statement has not been defined in the form specification.

Check that all names in the statement are spelled correctly and defined properly.

The field 'field-name' is not a member of the table 'table-name'.

Something in this statement suggests that the name shown is part of this table, but that is not true in the current database.

Review the spelling of the two names. If they are as you intended, check that the correct database is in use and that the table has not been altered.

The column 'column-name' is a member of more then one table -- you must specify the table name.

Two or more tables that are named in the TABLES section have columns with the name shown.

You must make clear which table you mean. To do this, write the table name as a prefix of the column name, as table.column, wherever this name is used in the form specification.

There is a column/value type mismatch for 'column-name'.

This statement assigns a value to the field with the DEFAULT clause or uses its value with the INCLUDE clause, but it does so with data that does not agree with the data type of the field.

Review the data type of the field (which comes from the column with which it is associated), and make sure that only compatible values are assigned.

The table 'table-name' cannot be found in the database.

The indicated table does not exist in the database that is named in the form.

Check the spelling of the table name and database name. If they are as you intended, either you are not using the version of the database that you expected, or the database has been changed.

The column 'column-name' does not exist among the specified tables.

The tables that are specified in the TABLES section of the form exist, but column-name, which is named in the ATTRIBUTES section, does not.

Check its spelling against the actual table. Possibly the table was altered, or the column was renamed.

The table 'table-name' is not among the specified tables.

The indicated table is used in this statement but is not defined in the TABLES section of the form specification.

Check its spelling; if it is as you intended, add the table in the TABLES section.

The column 'column-name' does not exist in the table 'table-name'.

Something in this statement implies that the column shown is part of the indicated table (most likely the statement refers to table-name.column-name). However, it is not defined in that table.

Check the spelling of both names. If they are as you intended, then make sure that the database schema (.sch) is up to date; possibly the table has been altered or the column renamed, and thus needs a new db schema extraction with the fgldbsch tool.

The column 'column-name' appears more then once. If you wish a column to be duplicated in a form, use the same display field label.

The same column name is listed in the ATTRIBUTES section more than once.

The expected way to display the same column in two or more places is to put two or more fields in the screen layout, each with the same tag-name. Then put a single statement in the ATTRIBUTES section to associate that tag-name with the column name. The current column value will be duplicated in all fields. If you intended to display different columns that happen to have the same column-names, prefix each column with its table-name.

The display field label 'label-name' appears more than once in this form, but the lengths are different.

You can put multiple copies of a field in the screen layout (all will display the same column), but all copies must be the same length.

Review the form definition to make sure that, if you intended to have multiple copies of one field, all copies are the same.

The display field label 'label-name' has not been used.

A field tag has been declared in the screen section of the form- specification file but is not defined in the attributes section.

Check your form-specification file.

The display label 'label-name' has already been used.

The forms compiler indicates that name has been defined twice. These names must be defined uniquely in the form specification.

Review all uses of the name to see if one of them is incorrect.

See error number error-num.

The database server returned an error that is shown.

Look up the shown error in the database server documentation.

A blob variable or cursor name expected .

The argument to the FREE statement must be the name of a cursor or prepared statement or, in BDL, the name of a variable with the BYTE or TEXT data type.

Check the name used after the FREE keyword.

The number of variables and/or constants in the display list does not match the number of form fields in the display destination.

There must be exactly as many items in the list of values to display as there are fields listed following the TO keyword in this statement.

Review the statement.

The number of input variables does not match the number of form fields in the screen input list.

Your INPUT statement must specify the same number of variables as it does fields.

When checking this, keep in mind that when you refer to a record using an asterisk or THRU, it is the same as listing each record component individually.

Printing cannot be done within a loop or CASE statement contained in report headers or trailers.

BDL needs to know how many lines of space will be devoted to page headers and trailers; otherwise, it does not know how many detail rows to allow on a page. Since it cannot predict how many times a loop will be executed, or which branch of a CASE will be execute, it forbids the use of PRINT in these contexts within FIRST PAGE HEADER, PAGE HEADER, and PAGE TRAILER sections.

Re-arrange the code to place the PRINT statement where it will always be executed.

The symbol 'symbol-name' has been defined more than once.

The variable that is shown has appeared in at least one other DEFINE statement before this one.

Review your code. If this DEFINE is within a function or the MAIN section, the prior one is also. If this DEFINE is outside any function, the prior one is also outside any function; however, it might be within the file included by the GLOBALS statement.

The symbol 'symbol-name' is not the name of a table in the specified database.

The named table does not appear in the database.

Review the statement. The table name may be spelled wrong in the program, or the table might have been dropped or renamed since the last time the program was compiled.

The symbol 'symbol-name' is not the name of a column in the specified database.

The preceding statement suggests that the named column is part of a certain table in the specified database. The table exists, but the column does not appear in it.

Check the spelling of the column name. If it is spelled as you intended, then either the table has been altered, or the column renamed, or you are not accessing the database you expected.

The variable 'variable-name' is too complex to be used in an assignment statement.

The named variable is a complex variable like a record or an array, which cannot be used in a LET statement.

You must assign groups of components to groups of components using asterisk notation.

The variable 'variable-name' is not a character type, and cannot be used to contain the result of concatenation.

This statement attempts to concatenate two or more character strings (using the comma as the concatenation operator) and assign the result to the named variable. Unfortunately, it is not a character variable, and automatic conversion from characters cannot be performed in this case.

Assign the concatenated string to a character variable; then, if you want to treat the result as numeric, assign the string as a whole to a numeric variable.

The source and destination records in this record assignment statement are not compatible in types and/or length.

This statement uses asterisk notation to assign all components of one record to the corresponding components of another. However, the components do not correspond. Note that BDL matches record components strictly by position, the first to the first, second to second, and so on; it does not match them by name.

If the source and destination records do not have the same number and type of components, you will have to write a simple assignment statement for each component.

The variable 'variable-name' is too complex to be used as the destination of a return from a function.

The named variable is too complex to be assigned directly in a RETURNING clause.

Individual members of the complex variable must be returned separately.

RETURN statements can be executed only within functions.

This error occurs when the RETURN clause is used in an invalid context such as MAIN, REPORT or DIALOG blocks.

The function 'function-name' has already been called with a different number of parameters.

Earlier in the program, there is a call to this same function or event with a different number of parameters in the parameter list. At least one of these calls must be in error.

Examine the FUNCTION statement for the named function to find out the correct number of parameters. Then examine all calls to it, and make sure that they are written correctly.

The variable 'variable-name' in its current form is too complex to be used in this statement.

The variable has too many component parts. Only simple variables (those that have a single component) can be used in this statement.

If variable-name is an array, you must provide a subscript to select just one element. If it is a record, you must choose just one of its components. (However, if this statement permits a list of variables, as in the INITIALIZE statement, you can use asterisk or THRU notation to convert a record name into a list of components)

The symbol 'field-name' is not an element of the record 'record-name'.

The field name used in a record.field expression is not identified as a member of the record variable.

Find the definition of the record (it may be in the GLOBALS file), verify the names of its fields, and correct the spelling of field-name .

The parameter 'param-name' has not been defined within the function or report.

The name variable-name appears in the parameter list of the FUNCTION statement for this function. However, it does not appear in a DEFINE statement within the function. All parameters must be defined in their function before use.

Review your code. Possibly you wrote a DEFINE statement but did not spell variable-name the same way in both places.

The symbol 'symbol-name' has already been defined once as a parameter.

The name that is shown appears in the parameter list of the FUNCTION statement and in at least two DEFINE statements within the function body.

Review your code. Only one appearance in a DEFINE statement is permitted.

The variable 'variable-name' is too complex a type to be used in an expression.

In an expression, only simple variables (those that have a single component) can be used.

If the variable indicated is an array, you must provide a subscript to select just one element. If it is a record or object, you must choose just one of its components.

Aggregate functions are only allowed in reports and SELECT statements.

Aggregate functions such as SUM, AVG, and MAX can only appear in SQL statements and within certain statements that you use in the context of a report body. They are not supported in ordinary expressions in program statements.

Review the code and check that the aggregate functions are in an SQL statement or in the correct blocks of the REPORT routine.

Subscripting cannot be applied to the variable 'variable-name'.

You tried to use a [x,y] subscript expression with a variable that is neither a character data type or an array type.

Check the variable data type and make sure it can be used with a subscript expression.

The variable 'variable-name' is not a record. It cannot reference record elements.

In this statement variable-name appears followed by a dot, followed by another name. This is the way you would refer to a component of a record variable; however, variable-name is not defined as a record.

Either you have written the name of the wrong variable, or else variable-name is not defined the way you intended.

The type of this ORDER BY or GROUP item specified for the report is not valid for sorting.

A REPORT routine defines an ORDER BY or GROUP clause using a variable defined with a type such as TEXT and BYTE, that is too complex to be used in comparisons. As result, columns with such types cannot be used to sort or group rows.

Review the report and sort or group rows by using items defined with simple data types.

A PAGE HEADER has already been specified within this report.

Only one PAGE HEADER control block is allowed in a REPORT.

Search for other PAGE HEADER sections and combine all statements in a unique control block.

A PAGE TRAILER has already been specified within this report.

Only one PAGE TRAILER control block is allowed in a REPORT.

Search for other PAGE TRAILER sections and combine all statements in a unique control block.

A FIRST PAGE HEADER has already been specified within this report.

Only one FIRST PAGE TRAILER control block is allowed in a REPORT.

Search for other FIRST PAGE TRAILER sections and combine all statements in a unique control block.

An ON EVERY ROW clause has already been specified within this report.

Only one ON EVERY ROW control block is allowed in a REPORT.

Search for other ON EVERY ROW sections and combine all statements in a unique control block.

An ON LAST ROW clause has already been specified within this report.

Only one ON LAST ROW control block is allowed in a REPORT.

Search for other ON LAST ROW sections and combine all statements in a unique control block.

Group aggregates can occur only in AFTER GROUP clauses.

The aggregate functions that apply to a group of rows (GROUP COUNT/PERCENT/SUM/AVG/MIN/MAX) can only be used at the point in the report when a complete group has been processed, namely, in the AFTER GROUP control block.

Make sure that the AFTER GROUP block exists and was recognized. If you need the value of a group aggregate at another time (for instance, in a PAGE TRAILER control block), you can save it in a module variable with a LET statement in the AFTER GROUP block.

The report cannot skip lines while in a loop within a header or trailer.

BDL needs to know how many lines of space will be devoted to the page header and trailer (otherwise it does not know how many detail rows to allow on the page). It cannot predict how many times a loop will be executed, so it has to forbid the use of SKIP statements in loops in the PAGE HEADER, PAGE TRAILER, and FIRST PAGE HEADER sections.

Review the report header or trailer to avoid SKIP in loops.

The symbol 'symbol-name' does not represent a defined variable.

The name shown appears where a variable would be expected, but it does not match any variable name in a DEFINE statement that applies to this context.

Check the spelling of the name. If it is the name you intended, look back and find out why it has not yet been defined. Possibly the GLOBALS statement has been omitted from this source module, or it names an incorrect file. Possibly this code has been copied from another module or another function, but the DEFINE statement was not copied also.

Cursors must be uniquely declared within one program module.

In the statement DECLARE cursor-name CURSOR, the identifier cursor-name can be used in only one DECLARE statement in the source file. This is true even when the DECLARE statement appears inside a function. Although a program variable made with the DEFINE statement is local to the function, a cursor within a function is still global to the whole module

Search for duplicated cursor names and change the name to have unique identifiers.

The cursor 'cursor-name' has not yet been declared in this program.

The name shown appears where the name of a declared cursor or a prepared statement is expected; however, no cursor (or statement) of that name has been declared (or prepared) up to this point in the program.

Check the spelling of the name. If it is the name you intended, look back in the program to see why it has not been declared. Possibly the DECLARE statement appears in a GLOBALS file that was not included.

This type of statement can only be used within a MENU statement.

This statement only makes sense within the context of a MENU statement.

Review the program in this vicinity to see if an END MENU statement has been misplaced. If you intended to set up the appearance of a menu before displaying it, use a BEFORE MENU block within the scope of the MENU.

The page length is too short to cover the specified page header and trailer lengths.

A REPORT defines page header and trailer sections with a total number of lines that is not sufficiently less than the specified page length in order to print some detail lines.

Review the [FIRST] PAGE HEADER and PAGE TRAILER blocks to use less lines or increase the page length.

The input file 'file-name' cannot be opened.

Either the file does not exist, or, on UNIX, your account does not have permission to read it.

Possibly the filename is misspelled, or the directory path leading to the file was specified incorrectly.

The listing file 'file-name' cannot be created.

The file cannot be created.

Check that the directory path leading to the file is specified correctly and, on UNIX systems, that your account has permission to create a file in that directory. Look for other, more explicit, error messages from the operating system. Possibly the disk is full, or you have reached a limit on the number of open files.

Record variables that contain array type elements may not be referenced by the ".*" or THROUGH shorthand, or used as a function parameter.

The .* and THROUGH/THRU notation is used to expand a record with an array member.

It is allowed to define a record with an array member, but this element must always be used with its full designation of record.array[n]. The .* or THROUGH/THRU notation only expands simple members of the record.

The elements 'name-1' and 'name-2' do not belong to the same record.

The two names shown are used where two components of one record are required; however, they are not components of the same record.

Check the spelling of both names. If they are spelled as you intended, go back to the definition of the record and see why it does not include both names as component fields.

In this type of statement, subscripting may be applied only to array.

The statement contains a name followed by square brackets, but the name is not that of an array variable.

Check the punctuation of the statement and the spelling of all names. Names that are subscripted must be arrays. If you intended to use a character substring in this statement, you will have to revise the program.

The number of dimensions for the variable 'variable-name' does not match the number of subscripts.

In this statement, the array whose name is shown is subscripted by a different number of dimensions than it was defined to have.

Check the punctuation of the subscript. If it is as you intended, then review the DEFINE statement where variable-name is defined.

There is a numeric constant in the previous line that is too large or too small.

The compiler is unable to process a numeric constant because it is too big or too small to represent a valid SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT or DECIMAL constant.

Check the number of digits and the punctuation of the numeric constant. Make sure you have not typed a letter for a digit for example.

The label 'label-name' has been used but has never been defined within the above main program or function.

A GOTO or WHENEVER statement refers to the label shown, but there is no corresponding LABEL statement in the current function or main program.

Check the spelling of the label. If it is as you intended it, find and inspect the LABEL statement that defines it. You cannot transfer out of a program block with GOTO; labels must be defined in the same function body where they are used.

An ORDER BY or GROUP item specified within a report must be one of the report parameters.

The names used in a ORDER BY, AFTER GROUP OF, or BEFORE GROUP OF statement must also appear in the parameter list of the REPORT statement. It is not possible to order or group based on a global variable or other expression.

Check the spelling of the names in the statement and compare them to the REPORT statement.

There is an error in the validation string: 'validation-string'.

The validation string in the syscolval table is not correct.

Change the appropriate DEFAULT or INCLUDE value in the syscolval table.

This type of statement can be used only in a report.

Statements such as PRINT, SKIP, or NEED are meaningful only within the body of a report function, where there is an implicit report listing to receive output.

Remove the report specific statement from the code which is not in a report body.

The variable used in the INPUT ARRAY or DISPLAY ARRAY statement must be an array.

The name following the words DISPLAY ARRAY or INPUT ARRAY must be that of an array of records.

Check the spelling of the name. If it is as you intended, find and inspect the DEFINE statement to see why it is not an array. (If you want to display or input a simple variable or a single element of an array, use the DISPLAY or INPUT statement.)

The number of lines printed in the IF part of an IF-THEN-ELSE statement of a header or trailer clause must equal the number of lines printed in the ELSE part.

The runtime system needs to know how many lines will be filled in header and trailer sections (otherwise it does not know how many detail rows to put on the page). Because it cannot tell which part of an IF statement will be executed, it requires that both produce the same number of lines of output.

Use the same number of occurrences of PRINT statements in each block of the IF statement.

The variable 'variable-name' has not been defined like the table 'table-name'.

The named variable has been used in the SET clause of an UPDATE statement or in the VALUES clause of an INSERT statement, but it was not define LIKE the table being modified. As a result, then runtime system cannot associate record components with table columns.

Make sure the schema file is up to date and check that the variable was defined like the table. You can also rewrite the UPDATE or INSERT statement with a different syntax to show the explicit relationship between column names and record components.

The field 'field-name-1' precedes 'field-name-2' in the record 'record-name' and must also precede it when used with the THROUGH shorthand.

The THROUGH or THRU shorthand requires you to give the starting and ending fields as they appear in physical sequence in the record.

Check the spelling of the names; if they are as you intended, then refer to the VARIABLE statement where the record was defined to see why they are not in the sequence you expected.

'key-name' is not a recognized key value.

The key name used in an ON KEY clause is not known by the compiler.

Search the documentation for possible key names (F1-F255, Control-?).

Cannot open the file 'file-name' for reading or writing.

The file cannot be opened.

Verify that the filename is correctly spelled and that your account has permission to read or write to it.

The function (or report) 'function-name' has already been defined.

Each function (or report, which is similar to a function) must have a unique name within the program.

Change the function or report name.

You may have at most 4 keys in the list.

An interactive instruction defines a ON KEY() clause with more that 4 keys.

Remove keys from the list.

One dimension of this array has exceeded the limit of 65535.

The program is using a static array with a dimension that exceeds the limit.

Use a dimension below the 65535 limit.

The NEXT FIELD statement can only be used within an INPUT or CONSTRUCT statement.

The NEXT FIELD statement is used outside an INPUT, INPUT ARRAY or CONSTRUCT statement.

Remove the NEXT FIELD statement from that part of the code.

The number of columns must match the number of values in the SET clause of an UPDATE statement.

In an UPDATE statement, the number of values used does not match the number of columns.

Check for the table definition, then either add or remove values or columns from the UPDATE statement.

Record members may not be used with database column substring.

This statement has a reference of the form name1.name2[...]. This is the form in which you would refer to a substring of a column: table.column[...]. However, the names are not a table and column in the database, so BDL presumes they refer to a field of a record.

Inspect the statement and determine what was intended: a reference to a column or to a record. If it is a column reference, verify the names of the table and column in the database. If it is a record reference, verify that the record and component are properly defined.

The variable 'variable-name' is an array. You must specify one of its elements in this statement.

You tried to use an array without element specification in a SQL statement.

Use one of the members of the array.

Only blob variables of type BYTE or TEXT may be used in a LOCATE statement.

The LOCATE statement is using a variable defined with a data type different from BYTE or TEXT.

Make sure the variables used with LOCATE are defined as BYTE or TEXT.

The program cannot CONTINUE or EXIT statement-type at this point because it is not immediately within statement-type statement.

This CONTINUE or EXIT statement is not appropriate in its context.

Review your code. Possibly the statement is misplaced, or the statement type was specified incorrectly.

A variable used in the above statement must be a global variable.

A REPORT routine is defining an OUTPUT REPORT TO using a local function variable or report parameter.

Review the report clause to use a global or module variable instead.

You cannot have multiple BEFORE clauses for the same field.

You cannot specify more than one BEFORE FIELD clause for the same field.

Review your code to eliminate multiple BEFORE FIELD clauses.

You cannot have multiple AFTER clauses for the same field.

You cannot specify more than one AFTER FIELD clause for the same field.

Review your code to eliminate multiple AFTER FIELD clauses.

Wordwrap may not be used within report headers or trailers.

The report routine uses the WORDWRAP clause in the FIRST PAGE HEADER, PAGE HEADER or PAGE TRAILER sections.

Remove the WORDWRAP clause from the expression.

Startfield of DATETIME or INTERVAL qualifiers must come earlier in the time-list than its endfield.

The qualifier for a DATETIME or INTERVAL consists of start TO end, where the start and end are chosen from this list: YEAR MONTH DAY HOUR MINUTE SECOND FRACTION.

The keyword for the start field must come earlier in the list than, or be the same as, the keyword for the end field.

Check the order of the startfield and endfield qualifiers. For example, qualifiers of DAY TO FRACTION and MONTH TO MONTH are valid but one of MINUTE TO HOUR is not.

Parenthetical precision of FRACTION must be between 1 and 5. No precision can be specified for other time units.

In a DATETIME qualifier only the FRACTION field may have a precision in parentheses, and it must be a single digit from 1 to 5.

Check the DATETIME qualifiers in the current statement; one of them violates these rules. The first field of an INTERVAL qualifier may also have a parenthesized precision from 1 to 5.

The function 'function-name' can only be used within an INPUT or CONSTRUCT statement.

The function shown is being used outside of an INPUT or CONSTRUCT statement. However, it returns a result that is only meaningful in the context of INPUT or CONSTRUCT.

Review the code to make sure that an END INPUT or END CONSTRUCT statement has not been misplaced. Review the operation and use of the function to make sure you understand it.

No more than one BEFORE or AFTER INPUT/CONSTRUCT clause can appear in an INPUT/CONSTRUCT statement.

There may be only one BEFORE block of statements to initialize each of these statement types.

Make sure that the scope of all your INPUT, CONSTRUCT and MENU statements is correctly marked with END statements. Then combine all the preparation code into a single BEFORE block for each one.

CANCEL INSERT can only be used in the BEFORE INSERT clause of an INPUT ARRAY statement.

The CANCEL INSERT statement is being used outside of the BEFORE INSERT clause of an INPUT ARRAY.

Review the code to make sure that CANCEL INSERT has not been used anywhere except in the BEFORE INSERT clause.

CANCEL DELETE can only be used in the BEFORE DELETE clause of an INPUT ARRAY statement.

The CANCEL DELETE statement is being used outside of BEFORE DELETE clause of an INPUT ARRAY.

Review the code to make sure that CANCEL DELETE has not been used anywhere except in the BEFORE DELETE clause.

The report output, specified by a START REPORT statement, is not any of file, pipe, screen, printer, pipe in line mode, or pipe in form mode.

The output of a report can be sent only to any of file, pipe (in form or line modes), screen, or printer.

Check the START REPORT instruction and make sure that the OUTPUT clause specifies one of the supported values.

This syntax is not supported here. Use [screenrecordname.]screenfieldname.

The field name specification in a BEFORE FIELD or AFTER FIELD is not valid.

Check for the field name and use [screenrecordname.]screenfieldname syntax.

This is a generic error containing the text of another error.

Check the error. Contact your support center.

Your machine is not allowed to be connected on any of your authorized licenses.

The CPU license rejects the connection of a new host. All CPU licenses are consumed.

Contact your support center.

License validity time is reached. The users control is reactivated.

The CPU license is time limit is reached. The CPU license is degraded and user control is reactivated.

Contact your support center.

CPU limit exceeded. The users control is reactivated.

The CPU license has less CPUs available than the number of CPUs on the connected host, resulting in one or more hosts running in degraded mode. When running in degraded mode, the number of users allowed is the number of available CPUs in the license * 100 users. User control is activated for license request coming from that host.

In the case of a single host, user control applies to local licenses as well. If Host A has 6 CPUs, yet has a 5 CPU license, it consumes all of the CPUs for the license and runs in degraded mode. That means 5 * 100 users are allowed.

Contact your support center.

Cannot get license extension information. Check your environment, the license (run 'fglWrt -a info') and the fglWrt version ('fglWrt -V' should give version-number or higher).

Contact your support center.

Your license has 'restriction-name' restriction. You are not allowed to run another mode.

Could not load C extension library ' library-name'. Reason: description

Runtime system is unable to find the shared library for the reason given.

Check if the C extension library exists in one of the directories defined by FGLLDPATH. If the C extension module depends on other shared libraries, make sure that these libraries can be found by the library loader of the operating system (check the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable on UNIX or the PATH environment variable on Windows).

C extension initialization failed with status number.

C extension failed to initialize and returned the status shown in the error message.

Check the C extension source or documentation.

class-name class not found.

The program was compiled with the built-in class class-name but at execution time the class is not found.

Check you installation, it is possible that you are executing program that was compiled with a younger version as the version used in the execution context, which certainly is missing that class in the runtime library.

No such symbol: symbol-name.

The runtime system loads a module dynamically (on demand) and searches for the symbol in a given module. But the symbol is not found, for example, because of an invalid FGLLDPATH, or because the installed module no longer contains the symbol (after a recompilation).

Can not connect to GUI: description

You have run a GUI application but the environment variable FGLSERVER is not set correctly, or the Genero client (graphical front-end) is not running.

A Java exception has been thrown while executing Java code.

Check the exception text and review the code.

Java object required.

A Java object reference is expected by the instruction. This error typically occurs in a CAST() or INSTANCEOF().

Check the expression used in the instruction and make sure it references a Java object.

module.name has private access.

An instruction references a module function or module variable which is declared as private.

Make the function or variable public in the imported module.

Reference to name is ambiguous.

A function or variable referenced without the module prefix, but exists in several imported modules. This error can also be printed by the compiler for Java calls.

Add the module prefix before the object name to remove the ambiguity.

Module name does not exist.

The module name to be imported was not found.

Make sure the module name matches the file name.

Module name has not been imported.

A statement is referencing a module name which has not been imported.

Import the module before usage.

category-name qualifier-name.symbol-name has not been defined.

The symbol identified by qualifier-name.symbol-name cannot be found. For example, a START REPORT or SUBDIALOG is referencing a report or sub-dialog symbol with module prefix, but the symbol is not found in the specified module.

You must import the module defining the referenced symbol.

The function 'function-name' has not been defined.

The function name is referenced in the compiled module, but none of the imported modules define that function.

You must import the module containing the function.

The type of the parameter 'param-name' is not an SQL type: cannot be inserted into a temporary table used for this report.

The REPORT parameter name is defined with a BDL type that has no SQL equivalent and thus cannot be used to create the temporary table needed to sort rows for a two-pass report.

Define the parameter with an SQL-compatible type (CHAR, VARCHAR, INTEGER, DECIMAL, etc).

ON ACTION action-name conflicts with ON action-name.

The dialog block defines conflicting ON ACTION and ON triggers, defining the same actions. For example, an ON ACTION delete is defined within a dialog block that is also defining an ON DELETE trigger.

Review the dialog actions, if you want to use ON triggers defining actions.

The action action-name shadows another action with the same name.

The dialog defines ON ACTION blocks using the same action name at different levels (dialog, sub-dialog and field level).

Use different action names when a conflict occurs.

The symbol 'symbol-name' is not a DIALOG.

The symbol referenced is not defined as a DIALOG subdialog block.

Char constant too long.

The code defines a character string constant that is tool long.

The statement id 'statement-name' has already been used.

Several PREPARE instructions use the same statement identifier in the current module. This feature is supported for backward compatibility. However, it is recommended that you review the code to make sure that this is not a mistake.

Illegal type attribute value "wrong-value", expecting correct-value.

A program variable is defined with an invalid attribute value. Review the ATTRIBUTES() clause of the DEFINE instruction.

Invalid number of return values.

The function uses a RETURN instruction with a number of values that does not correspond to the number of types defined with the RETURNS clause.

Missing RETURN.

The function is defined with a RETURNS clause, but does not contain a RETURN instruction.

Only functions can return values.

It is not allowed to use a RETURN instruction in a MAIN or REPORT block. Use EXIT PROGRAM in MAIN, or EXIT REPORT in REPORT.

Cannot call non-FUNCTION type type-name.

The CALL instruction is used with a program variable which is not a function reference.

Return type of FUNCTION function-name is unknown.

A function referenced with the FUNCTION expression is missing the RETURNS clause in its definition.

Illegal argument name 'parameter-name', expecting 'definition-name'.

A function call is using a parameter name that does not match the name specified in the function definition.

RECORD initializer expected.

The provided initialization value does not use the ( ) notation for RECORD variable definition.

ARRAY initializer expected.

The provided initialization value does not use the [ ] notation for an ARRAY variable definition.

Scalar initializer expected.

The provided initialization value does not use a scalar value for the primitive-typed variable definition.

Record member 'name' not exists.

The provided initialization value specifies a member name that does not match the members of the RECORD variable definition.

Duplicate field in RECORD initializer: 'name'.

The provided initialization value defines duplicate RECORD member names.

A method definition requires a RECORD type defined locally in this module.

Methods for types must be defined in the module where the TYPE is defined.

Method and field names must distingush. Type type-name has field field-name.

A method is defined with the same name as a field of the receiving type. Change the name of the method.

The method method-name has already been defined.

A method is defined more than once for the same type.

type-name does not implement interface-name: reason.

The type is associated to methods that do not match the methods defined by the interface of the variable receiving the variable of the type. Check method names and signatures (parameter and return types).

Method parameters can not have anonymous types.

A anonymous type is implicitely created when declaring a variable or method/function paramater with RECORD/END RECORD (without using a TYPE definition). A method cannot requires a type name declared by TYPE definition.

A method without return type (RETURNS) can not return values.

A method body contains a RETURN clause, but the method head does not specify a RETURNS clause.

An INOUT parameter requires a RECORD type.

The INOUT keyword can only be used with a type name declared by TYPE definition.

A method without return type (RETURNS) can not return values.

The method body contains a RETURN instruction with value(s), but the declaration does not specify any RETURNS clause.

type-name does not implement interface-name: reason.

The user-defined type does not match the specified interface for the given reason.

Parameter names can not be specified here. The parameter names of the called function are not known.

A function call uses named parameters, but the actual function definition is not known by the compiler. Use IMPORT FGL with the module name implementing the function, or do not use named parameters.
