COBOL/HP-UX Error Messages for the Series 700 and 800

List of Messages 079 - 155 

079      COBCONFIG syntax error (fatal) 

            *   There is an error in the run-time configuration sidefile
                accessed via the environment variable COBCONFIG.

            *   Check your syntax against your COBOL System Reference.
                You may have used incorrect syntax, or syntax that is not
                compatible with the type of RTS tuneable you are
                configuring (this could include assigning an illegal
                value to the RTS tuneable).

080      ISAM file blocksize larger than run-time configuration can deal 
         with (fatal) 

081      Key already exists in indexed file (fatal) 

            *   This is the result of an internal system error.

            *   Contact Technical Support who will try to help you
                discover the cause of your error and how it can be
                rectified.

082      CALL convention not supported (fatal) 

            *   The CALL convention you have specified is not supported.

            *   See your COBOL User Guide for a list of supported CALL
                conventions.

086      Remote file system failure (fatal) 

100      Invalid file operation (fatal) 

            *   You have attempted a file operation which violates a
                general rule of COBOL in some way.  The most likely cause
                of this error is that you have attempted a rewrite on a
                sequential file opened I-O, or on a relative file with
                access mode sequential also opened I-O, without preceding
                it with a successful read NEXT.

            *   Recode your program to ensure that the REwrite statement
                in error is preceded by a read NEXT.

101      Illegal operation on an indexed file (fatal) 

            *   This is the result of an internal system error.

            *   Contact Technical Support who will try to help you
                discover the cause of your error and how it can be
                rectified.

102      Sequential file with non-integral number of records (fatal) 

            *   You have either specified an incorrect record length for
                a sequential file, or the sequential file you are
                attempting to access is corrupt in some way, or the file
                which you have specified is not a sequential file.

            *   Recode your program so that it specifies the correct type
                of file, or if the error is the result of a corrupt file,
                attempt to run the program again using a backup copy of
                that file.

103      Parameter type cannot be passed by value 

104      Null file name used in a file operation (fatal) 

            *   You specified a data-name for a filename instead of a
                literal, and the data-item contained only spaces when you
                tried to open the file.

            *   Recode your program specifying the correct filename.

105      Memory allocation error (fatal) 

            *   The run-time system is unable to allocate sufficient
                memory space to successfully carry out the attempted
                operation, probably because there is no memory space left
                on your system.

            *   You will have to obtain more memory in which to run your
                program.  Refer to your operating system documentation
                for details of how you can obtain more memory, if this is
                possible.

106      Dictionary error (fatal) 

            *   This could be the result of a read or write error to file
                or disk, but it is more likely to be the result of an
                internal system error.

                Alternatively, your application may have used many CALLed
                programs without CANCELing them afterwards, so that
                memory becomes exhausted during Animation.

            *   Contact Technical Support who will try to help you to
                discover the cause of your error and how it may be
                rectified.

                Ensure that as much memory as possible is available
                during Animation by CANCELing any program you do not
                currently need to access.

107      Operation not implemented in this Run-Time System (fatal) 

            *   You are attempting to perform a file operation which your
                run-time system does not support.

            *   You will have to recode your program so that it does not
                attempt such operations, or you will have to acquire a
                version of your system that does support this facility.

108      Failure to initialize data division (fatal) 

            *   The run-time system cannot load your program properly
                because the data needed to correctly initialize the Data
                Divison has become corrupted.

            *   You should compile your program again to try to obtain
                good intermediate code.

109      Invalid checksum in Run-Time System (recoverable) 

            *   The internal information within the run-time system has
                been altered.  The run-time system may have become
                corrupted, or you may have illegally attempted to change
                the internal run-time system information.

110      Generated code not supported by this RTS 

            *   Contact Technical Support who will try to help you to
                discover the cause of the error and how it may be
                rectified.

114      Attempt to access item beyond bounds of memory (fatal) 

            *   Memory access violation has been detected by your
                operating system.

115      Unexpected signal (fatal) 

            *   A signal the run-time system was not expecting has been
                caught.

116      Cannot allocate memory (fatal) 

            *   For some reason a part of your run-time system is unable
                to allocate you sufficient memory to enable you to
                execute your code.

            *   You should try to reduce memory usage by cancelling
                programs that are not in use, then attempt the operation
                that caused this message again.

117      Bad collating sequence (fatal) 

            *   This is an internal system error.

            *   Please contact Technical Support who will try to help you
                to discover the cause of the error and how it may be
                rectified.

118      Symbol not found (fatal) 

            *   You are unable to load your object file.  You have
                attempted to call a program that has not been specified
                in the COBPATH environment variable.

            *   Check that your COBPATH has been set up correctly.  If
                not, revise your COBPATH to include the program being
                called.

119      Symbol redefined (fatal) 

            *   You are unable to load your object file because it has an
                entry point with the same name as a module already
                loaded.

            *   Once your program has terminated recode it to remove the
                naming duplication.  Resubmit your program to your COBOL
                system.

120      Symbol string table of zero size (fatal) 

            *   You probably have a malformed object file.

            *   Once the program has terminated you will need to correct
                your object file.  If this does not work, contact
                Technical Support who will try to help you to discover
                the specific cause of the error.

121      Symbol is not in TEXT section (fatal) 

            *   You have attempted to call a subprogram that is not an
                executable program.

                Alternatively, you have used the same name for a called
                program as for a previously defined data item.

            *   Check that the subprogram being called is an executable
                one.  If required, correct the subprogram's name in the
                calling program and resubmit it to your COBOL system.

                Once your program has terminated, recode it to remove the
                naming duplication.  Resubmit your program to your COBOL
                system.

122      Coblongjmp() called below level of cobsetjmp() (fatal) 

            *   You may have returned control to a higher level in the
                CALL/PERFORM hierarchy than the level at which cobsetjmp
                was called.  Coblongjmp must be called only from the same
                or from a lower level in the CALL/PERFORM hierarchy as
                cobsetjmp was.  See you COBOL System Reference for
                details of cobsetjmp and coblongjmp.

            *   Check and correct the logic of your program, and then
                resubmit your program to your COBOL system.

123      Unknown relocation type (fatal) 

            *   You are using incompatible versions of the object file
                and the COBOL run-time library.

            *   Once the program has terminated, resubmit your object
                file to your COBOL system with the current version of
                your COBOL run-time library.  If this does not work,
                contact Technical Support who will try to help you to
                discover the specific cause of the error.

124      Communication failure during I/O request to the central file 
         handler 

125      All locks/ current transactions cancelled due to exceeding time 
         limit 

126      Record size exceeds system limit 

129      Attempt to access record zero of relative file (recoverable) 

            *   The value specified in the RELATIVE KEY data item
                contains the value zero.

            *   You should ensure that the value in the RELATIVE KEY data
                item is greater than zero, then continue to run your
                program.

135      File must not exist (recoverable) 

            *   The operating system has been unable to find a file which
                you have attempted to access in your program.

            *   Ensure that you are in the correct directory or that a
                path to the file concerned exists.  You can then attempt
                the file operation again.  If the error is the result of
                a spelling mistake then ask for the correct file and
                attempt the file operation again.

137      Illegal device specification - not mass storage 

138      File closed with lock- cannot be opened (recoverable) 

            *   You are attempting to open a file which you previously
                closed with lock, which violates one of the general rules
                of COBOL programming.

            *   You will not be able to open the relevant file.  As this
                error implies that your program has a mistake in its
                logic, you may want to close any remaining open files,
                execute a STOP RUN statement and recode.

139      Record length or key data inconsistency (recoverable) 

            *   There is a discrepancy between the length of a record, or
                the keys which you have specified, in your current
                program and its definition in the program in which it was
                first opened.

            *   There is a fault in your program so you will probably
                need to edit your code, then resubmit it to your COBOL
                system before running it again.

141      File already open - cannot be opened (recoverable) 

            *   You have tried to open a file which is already open and
                so cannot be opened again.

            *   Cancel your second attempt to open the file and continue
                to run your program if the fact that the file is already
                open is acceptable to you.  However as this error implies
                that your program contains a mistake in its logic, you
                may wish to close any open files, execute a STOP RUN
                statement and then recode.

142      File not open - cannot be closed (recoverable) 

            *   You have tried to close a file which is not open which is
                impossible to achieve.

            *   You can abandon your attempt to close the relevant file
                and continue to run your program.  However, as this error
                implies that your program contains a mistake in its
                logic, you may wish to close any open files, execute a
                STOP RUN statement and then recode.

143      Rewrite/delete in sequential mode not preceded by successful 
         read (recoverable)

            *   You have failed to do a successful read on a sequentially
                accessed file attempting a REWRITE or DELETE on some of
                the information contained within that file.

            *   If the previous read was successful then perform a read
                on the relevant file before you retry the unsuccessful
                REWRITE or DELETE operation.  If the previous read was
                also unsuccessful close the file execute a STOP RUN
                statement and then recode your program before you next
                run it.

144      Boundary violation (recoverable) 

            *   You have attempted to write or rewrite a record to a
                variable length record file, the length of which is not
                within the defined range for that file.

            *   Recode your program.

146      No current record defined for sequential read (recoverable) 

            *   The file position indicator in your file is undefined
                owing to a failed read/START or INVALID KEY condition.
                You have tried to read another record in the file but as
                the current record is undefined the system cannot find
                the start of the record for which you have asked.

            *   You should attempt a START operation, and continue to do
                so until the file position indicator is updated
                successfully.

147      Wrong open mode or access mode for read/start (recoverable) 

            *   You have tried to carry out a read or START operation on
                a file which has not been opened for INPUT or I-O, or
                which is not open at all.

            *   Open the file for I-O or for INPUT and you should then be
                able to continue to run your program.  However, as this
                error implies that your program contains a mistake in its
                logic, you may want to close any files which are open,
                execute a STOP RUN statement and then recode.

148      Wrong open mode or access mode for write (recoverable) 

            *   You have tried to write to a file in sequential access
                mode that you have not opened for OUTPUT or EXTEND, or
                you have tried to write to a file in random or dynamic
                access mode that has not been opened INPUT or I-O.

            *   Close the file and re-open it with the correct open mode
                for the file type.  However, as this error implies that
                your program contains a mistake in its logic, you may
                want to close any files that are open, execute a STOP RUN
                statement and then recode.

149      Wrong open mode or access mode for rewrite/delete (recoverable) 

            *   You are trying to do a REWRITE or a DELETE on a file that
                you have not opened for I-O.

            *   Close the file and reopen for I-O. However, as this error
                implies that your program contains a mistake in its
                logic, you may wish to close any open files, execute a
                STOP RUN statement and then recode.

150      Program abandoned at user request (fatal) 

            *   You have interrupted the program by means of a keyboard
                interrupt.  The program is closed down, and any open
                files closed automatically by the run-time system.

151      Random read on sequential file (recoverable) 

            *   You are trying to do a random read on a file which has
                sequential organization.

            *   Read the file with the correct access mode.  As this
                error implies that your program contains a mistake in its
                logic, you may like to close any files which are open,
                execute a STOP RUN statement and recode.

152      REWRITE on file not opened I-O (recoverable) 

            *   You have attempted a REWRITE on a file that is not open
                I-O.

            *   Close the relevant file and open it for I-O operations.
                You should then be able to carry out the REWRITE
                operation successfully.  However, as this error implies
                that your program contains a mistake in its logic, you
                may wish to close any open files, execute a STOP RUN
                statement and then recode.

153      Subscript out of range (fatal) 

            *   A subscript which you have used in your program is out of
                the defined range, that is, it is either less than one or
                it is greater than the number of occurrences of the item.

            *   You will need to recode your program.

154      PERFORM nested too deeply (fatal) 

            *   This error usually results if you have used GO TO to jump
                out of the range of a PERFORM rather than to jump to an
                EXIT statement at the end of its range.

            *   When your program has terminated you will need to recode
                your program to ensure that the GO TO in question jumps
                to an EXIT statement at the end of the PERFORM's range.

155      Illegal command line (fatal) 

            *   The Run-Time System does not recognize as valid the
                command line format you have specified.

                Alternatively, the generic command line interpreter,
                which must be present if your program is to be run
                successfully, is not found on your system.

            *   Rerun your application with a valid command line.

                Make sure that the interpreter is present to enable your
                system to pick up the commands correctly and then rerun
                your program.
