Chapter 4  NFT/3000 Error Messages 

NFT/3000 messages may be distinguished from other NFT messages in the
following way:  bit 2 of the DSCOPY result parameter or of the NFTERR JCW
indicates the appropriate error set (on=NFT/3000, off=NFT). The DSCOPYMSG
intrinsic is able to determine the correct error set.

0            MESSAGE      NO ERRORS WERE DETECTED.

             CAUSE        No errors occurred during the file transfer.

             ACTION       None.  This is an informative message.

1            MESSAGE      UNABLE TO OPEN NFT MESSAGE CATALOG.

             CAUSE        If NFT is unable to open its message catalog it
                          will print an error message to the system
                          console, log the error to the NM logging
                          facility and terminate.  This error code will
                          not actually be returned to the user.

             ACTION       Make sure that NFTCAT2.NET.SYS is present and
                          not being accessed exclusively by some other
                          user.  If so, then try running MAKECAT to ensure
                          that the file is in message catalog format.  If
                          the console message says that the version number
                          in the message catalog is not current then
                          obtain the proper version.  Examine the NM log
                          file to see which file system error occurred
                          when the FOPEN was attempted.

2            MESSAGE      ATTEMPTED READ FROM INPUT FILE FAILED.

             CAUSE        Read from the command input file (formal
                          designator DSCOPYI) failed.

             ACTION       Look for a file equation for DSCOPYI. Make sure
                          it is what was intended.

3            MESSAGE      UNABLE TO OPEN SECONDARY OUTPUT FILE.

             CAUSE        FOPEN of the secondary output file (formal
                          designator DSCOPYL) failed.

             ACTION       Look for a file equation for DSCOPYL. Make sure
                          it is correct.  If primary output is not
                          enabled, check the NM log file for the file
                          system error which occurred.

4            MESSAGE      UNABLE TO OPEN INPUT FILE.

             CAUSE        FOPEN of the command input file (formal
                          designator DSCOPYI) failed.

             ACTION       Look for a file equation for DSCOPYI. Ensure
                          that it refers to a valid file (or $STDIN).

5            MESSAGE      COMMAND LINE IS TOO LONG.

             CAUSE        Input command length exceeded the allowed
                          maximum (200 bytes).

             ACTION       Ensure that the command input file is correct.
                          If the command is truly too long, global
                          specifications may be used to shorten it.

6            MESSAGE      CALL TO GENMESSAGE FAILED.

             CAUSE        DSCOPYMSG intrinsic could not retrieve the
                          specified error string from the NFT message
                          catalog.

             ACTION       Make sure that NFTCAT2.NET.SYS is present and
                          not being accessed exclusively by some other
                          user.  If so, then try running MAKECAT to ensure
                          that the file is in message catalog format.  If
                          the console message says that the version number
                          in the message catalog is not current then
                          obtain the proper version.  Examine the NM log
                          file to see which file system error occurred
                          when the FOPEN was attempted.

8            MESSAGE      KEYWORD DICTIONARY IS TOO LONG.

             CAUSE        Probable internal error.

9            MESSAGE      COMMAND LINE CONTAINS TOO MANY PARAMETERS.

             CAUSE        Too many delimiters were in the command line
                          (each delimiter corresponds to one parameter).

             ACTION       If the command line was entered properly, try
                          using global specifications to reduce the number
                          of parameters.

10           MESSAGE      NO SOURCE FILE WAS SPECIFIED.

11           MESSAGE      NO CLOSING QUOTE WAS SPECIFIED.

             CAUSE        A matching apostrophe (') or set of quotation
                          marks ("), was not found.

             ACTION       The punctuation surrounding the parameter is not
                          of the same type.  They must both be either (")
                          or (').

12           MESSAGE      !  IS AN INVALID DELIMITER BETWEEN SOURCE AND
                          TARGET.

             CAUSE        Usually a typographical error.

                          session was aborted externally or an internal
                          error occurred.

             ACTION       Ask your system manager if your session was
                          aborted.  If not, check the NM log file for
