List of Messages (0247 - 0335)
0247 Index-name has been declared explicitly
* You have declared an index data item explicitly. The
item is declared implicitly by its appearance in an
INDEX phrase, so you have in effect declared the same
item twice.
* Delete the explicit declaration of the index data
item.
0248 ISAM key key-name too long
* A data item that is to be used as an indexed
sequential file key is longer than the maximum length
allowed for such keys.
* Your COBOL System Reference contains a formula which
you can use to find out how long indexed sequential
file keys can be. Redefine the key accordingly.
0249 Alternate keys have same reference
* The two alternate keys you have defined for an indexed
sequential file overlap. Alternate keys must be
completely distinct from one another.
* Redefine the alternate keys so that they do not
overlap, or define them as split keys (which are
allowed to overlap).
0250 STATUS field data-name missing or illegal
* You have either not declared the data item specified
in the FILE STATUS clause of a file control entry, or
you have declared it incorrectly.
* Refer to the chapter Program Definition in your
Language Reference for details of the correct form of
the FILE STATUS data item. Add or revise the
definition of the FILE STATUS data item.
0251 CURSOR field data-name missing or illegal
* You have either not declared the data item specified
in the CURSOR IS clause in the SPECIAL-NAMES
paragraph, or you have declared the item incorrectly.
* Refer to the chapter Program Definition in your
Language Reference for the correct form of the cursor
data item. Add or revise the declaration of the data
item in the CURSOR IS clause.
0252 PASSWORD field data-name missing or illegal
* You have either not declared the data item specified
in the PASSWORD clause in a file description entry, or
you have declared the item incorrectly.
* Refer to the chapter Program Definition in your
Language Reference for the correct form of the
password data item. Add or correct the declaration of
the data item in the PASSWORD clause.
0253 LABEL RECORD or DATA RECORD record-name missing or illegal
* You have either not declared the record item specified
in the LABEL RECORD or DATA RECORD clauses in a file
description entry, or you have declared the item
incorrectly.
* Refer to the chapter Program Definition in your
Language Reference for the correct format of the label
record and data record item. Add or correct the
declaration of the record item in the LABEL RECORD or
DATA RECORD clause.
0254 'VALUE OF' field data-name missing or illegal
* You have either not declared one or more of the data
items named in the VALUE OF clause of an FD entry in
the File Section, or you have declared such an item
incorrectly.
* Refer to the chapter Program Definition in your
Language Reference for the correct format of such data
items. Add or correct the declaration of the data
item(s) in the VALUE OF clause.
0255 User name data-name same as special register
* You have declared a data item with the same name as
one of the special registers, which are data items
that are automatically declared by your COBOL system.
* Refer to the chapter Concepts of the COBOL Language in
your Language Reference for a list of the names of
these special registers. Alter the name of the data
item in error.
0256 Preceding record has zero length
* You have defined a file record with zero length. This
is probably due to errors in all of the elementary
item descriptions in the record definition.
* Correct the record description.
0257 KEY data-name missing or already declared
* You have either not declared a data item specified in
the KEY phrase of an OCCURS clause, or you have
declared it twice.
* Declare the data item or remove the extra declaration.
0258 ASSIGN data-name data-name illegal
* You have specified an ASSIGN data-name in a
SELECT...ASSIGN clause that is not unitary, that is,
the data definition contains an OCCURS clause.
* Edit your source code to ensure that the ASSIGN data
item does not include an OCCURS clause.
0259 Illegal report-name or bad RD clause
* You have defined a report-name that is either not
unique or which does not conform to the rules for
user-defined words. Alternatively, you have specified
a clause in an RD entry incorrectly.
* Refer to the chapter Program Definition in your
Language Reference for the correct syntax of an RD
entry. Correct your program accordingly.
0260 Inconsistent page specification
* The values you have specified in the PAGE LIMIT clause
are not consistent; for example, the integer in the
LAST DETAIL phrase is smaller than the integer in the
FIRST DETAIL phrase.
* Refer to the chapter Report Writer in your Language
Reference--Additional Topics for the rules governing
the PAGE LIMIT clause. Correct your program
accordingly.
0261 Only allowed in Report Section
* You have tried to specify syntax for a report outside
the Report Section of the Data Division.
* Refer to the chapter Report Writer in your Language
Reference--Additional Topics to see what syntax is
allowed in the Report Section. Delete the syntax in
error or relocate it in the Report Section.
0262 Not a CONTROL for this report
* The data-name in a TYPE CH or TYPE CF clause must
appear in the CONTROL clause of the associated RD
entry. You might have misspelled the data-name.
* Ensure that the correct data-name appears in both the
TYPE CF/CH and CONTROL clauses.
0263 Not allowed when PAGE not specified in RD
* You have either specified a TYPE PH or TYPE PF clause
without specifying a PAGE clause in the associated RD
entry, or you have specified an absolute line number
in the LINE NUMBER clause without specifying a PAGE
clause in the associated RD entry.
* Add a PAGE clause to the RD entry.
0264 Only one report group with this TYPE allowed per RD
* You have specified a duplicate of one of the TYPE
clauses (for example, you have specified two TYPE PF
clauses); only one clause of each type is allowed in a
particular RD entry.
* Delete the duplicate TYPE clause.
0265 Not allowed with this TYPE
* You are using a qualifier in a statement that either
does not allow any qualifiers, or that does not allow
this particular qualifier.
* Refer to the chapter Concepts of the COBOL Language in
your Language Reference for details of the qualifiers
allowed with this statement. Revise your program.
0266 No TYPE specified
* All level 01 entries in the Report Section must have a
TYPE clause.
* Add a TYPE clause.
0267 LINE specification missing or inconsistent
* This message has three possible causes:
You have specified a NEXT PAGE clause in a LINE clause
other than the first of a report group description
entry.
The absolute line numbers in the LINE clauses of a
report group description entry are not in ascending
order.
You have not specified a LINE clause in a particular
report group description entry.
* Depending on the cause of this message, you should:
Delete the NEXT PAGE clause from any but the first
LINE clause.
Rearrange the LINE clauses so that absolute line
numbers are in ascending order.
Add a LINE clause.
0268 REPORT specified in more than one FD
* You have specified the same report-name in more than
one FD.
* Delete the duplicate report-name.
0269 Duplicate CONTROL field
* You have specified the same CONTROL field value in
more than one RD entry.
* Delete the duplicate CONTROL field value.
0270 COLUMN specification overlapping or not left to right
0271 Only allowed with DETAIL groups
* You can specify a GROUP INDICATE clause only with
DETAIL report groups.
* Delete the GROUP INDICATE clause.
0272 Only allowed with CONTROL FOOTING groups
* You can specify a SUM clause only in a control footing
report group.
* Delete the SUM clause.
0273 Non-elementary item has invalid qualifier, or PICTURE missing
* You have specified in a group item a qualifier that
can be used only in an elementary item. Possibly you
intended the item to be elementary but omitted the
PICTURE clause.
* Refer to the chapter Program Definition in your
Language Reference for details of the correct syntax.
Delete the clause in error, or insert the PICTURE
clause.
0274 GROUP INDICATE without COLUMN
* You have specified the GROUP INDICATE clause but no
COLUMN clause in the same report group description.
* Include the COLUMN qualifier.
0275 NEXT GROUP not allowed with this group TYPE
* You have specified NEXT GROUP in a group with TYPE RF
or PH.
* Delete the NEXT GROUP clause.
0276 NEXT GROUP NEXT PAGE not allowed with this group TYPE
* You have specified NEXT GROUP or NEXT PAGE in a group
with TYPE PF.
* Delete the clause.
0277 LINE NEXT PAGE not allowed with this group TYPE
* You can specify the LINE NEXT PAGE clause only with a
group of TYPE CH, CF, or DE.
* Delete the LINE NEXT PAGE clause.
0278 RESET item is lower CONTROL level than group
* The control group on which a sum is reset must be at
either the same level as or a lower level than the
sum.
* Refer to the chapter Report Writer in your Language
Reference--Additional Topics for the rules governing
the resetting of sums. Revise your code accordingly.
0279 Report line too long
* The syntax you have specified is trying to create a
report line which is longer than the maximum allowed.
* Ensure that any report lines are not longer than the
permitted length.
0280 THRU phrase not allowed with DBCS field
* DBCS is Double Byte Character Set.
* Refer to the chapter Micro Focus Extensions for
Double-Byte Character Set Support in your Language
Reference--Additional Topics for the rules governing
the use of DBCS. Revise your code accordingly.
0281 Illegal use of DBCS field
* DBCS is Double Byte Character Set.
* Refer to the chapter Report Writer in your Language
Reference--Additional Topics for the rules governing
the use of DBCS. Revise your code accordingly.
0282 Number of BLL cells incorrect
* You have submitted your program with the CICS
directive on, so your COBOL system has calculated the
number of BLL cells that should occur after the
DFHCOMMAREA definition. There should be a BLL cell
for each 01 level data item in the Linkage Section,
plus one further BLL cell. Additionally, if the 01
level Linkage Section data item requires more than
4096 bytes, each 4096-byte block of data requires one
BLL cell.
* Check the number of BLL cells that are required for
the Linkage Section in your program as described
above, and ensure that you have defined the correct
number of BLL cells.
0283 An EXTERNAL file cannot be subject of SAME RECORD AREA clause
* You have specified a file in a SAME RECORD AREA clause
in your program that is specified as EXTERNAL in an FD
entry.
* Delete the EXTERNAL file in error from the SAME RECORD
AREA clause in your program.
0284 Not allowed in Report Section
* The syntax you have specified is not allowed in the
Report Section.
* Delete the syntax from the Report Section.
0285 First LINE NUMBER clause in PAGE FOOTING group is relative
0286 Not specified in CONTROL clause of RD
0287 Data record specified for Report file
0288 SYNC with USAGE IS INDEX
0289 SYNC at group level
0290 Index key key-name not alphanumeric
* You have specified a key item that is not
alphanumeric, in an index key clause where an
alphanumeric key item is expected.
* Specify an alphanumeric key item.
0291 Group FILLER
0292 SIGN different from that at group level
0295 VALUE clause in File or Linkage Section. Clause processed as
comment
* You have specified a VALUE clause in either the File
Section or the Linkage Section where you should not
have specified one.
* You can delete the VALUE clause, although this has no
effect on your program.
0296 BLANK WHEN ZERO with zero suppression
0297 OCCURS .. DEPENDING clause without "integer TO". "1 TO"
assumed
0298 OCCURS at level 01 or 77
0299 FILLER omitted
* You have omitted the word FILLER.
* Add the word FILLER.
0300 LABEL RECORDS clause omitted
* You have omitted the heading LABEL RECORDS.
* Add the LABEL RECORDS clause.
0301 Unrecognized verb
* You have either used a verb in the Procedure Division
of your program that your COBOL system does not
recognize as a valid COBOL verb, or have misspelled a
COBOL verb.
* Refer to the chapter Program Definition in your
Language Reference to see which verbs are permitted in
the COBOL language, and ensure that you have spelled
them correctly.
You might need to set a language-enabling directive if
the verb you require is not part of your system's
standard COBOL language.
0302 IF....ELSE or scope-delimiter mismatch
* An error exists in your coding of an IF statement in
the Procedure Division of your program. The two
halves of one IF statement do not match.
Alternatively, you have made an error in coding a
construct that uses one of the scope delimiters (for
example, END-ADD). There is a mismatch between the
number of scope delimiters and the statements whose
scope they delimit.
* Ensure you do not have more ELSE phrases than IF
phrases.
Revise your source code.
0303 Operand has wrong data-type
* You have used a data item with the wrong data-type in
one of your statements. For example, you have used a
file-name instead of a record-name in a WRITE
statement.
* Revise the relevant item.
0304 Procedure name name not unique
* Two or more sections in the Procedure Division, or two
or more paragraphs in a section, of your program have
the same title.
* Rename or qualify the sections or paragraphs in error
to ensure uniqueness of reference.
0305 Procedure name name same as data-name
* A paragraph in the Procedure Division of your program
has the same name as a data item declared in the Data
Division.
* Change the name of either the paragraph or the
relevant data item to ensure uniqueness of reference.
0306 Entry name not unique
* You have used the same entry point-name more than once
in your program. (This might be because the entry
point name is the same as the Program-ID.)
* Alter the entry-name in error or qualify it.
0307 Wrong combination of data-types
* You are trying to manipulate data items which are not
compatible.
* Ensure that the data items are of the same type.
0308 Conditional statement not allowed in this context
* You have used a conditional statement (one which
specifies that the truth value of a condition is to be
determined at run time) in the Procedure Division
where an imperative statement is expected.
* Replace the statement with one that begins with an
imperative verb and is followed by a specification of
an unconditional action to be taken at run time.
0309 Malformed subscript
* You have probably specified two subscripts for a
one-dimensional table item.
* Revise your code to ensure that you do not specify
more than one subscript for a one-dimensional table
item.
0310 ACCEPT/DISPLAY syntax incorrect
* You have either used invalid syntax with an ACCEPT or
DISPLAY statement, or have incorrectly coded that part
of your code containing the communications syntax.
The most likely cause of this message is a spelling
mistake in your code.
* Correct the spelling mistake.
0311 Illegal syntax used with I-O verb
* Code following an I/O verb (for example READ or WRITE)
violates the rules of COBOL syntax.
* Refer to the chapter Program Definition in your
Language Reference for details on the usage of the
particular verb in your code which has caused this
error message. Revise your code accordingly.
0312 Invalid arithmetic statement
* An arithmetic statement which you have used in the
Procedure Division does not conform to the rules of
COBOL syntax. These statements must begin with an
arithmetic verb (for example SUBTRACT or DIVIDE),
followed by the relevant numeric literals or
identifiers which the verb will act upon when the
program is executed. The statement which you have
specified is not a valid one.
* Refer to the chapter Program Definition in your
Language Reference for details of arithmetic
statements. Ensure that the one you want to use
conforms to the relevant rules.
0313 Invalid arithmetic expression
* An arithmetic expression which you have used in the
Procedure Division is not a valid one.
* Refer to the chapter Program Definition in your
Language Reference for details of the COBOL syntax for
complicated arithmetic tasks.
0314 Illegal key
* The key value in a file operation or in a SEARCH
statement is the wrong size.
* Check the key definition and correct the key value.
0315 Invalid conditional expression
* A conditional expression which you have specified in
the Procedure Division of your program does not
conform to the rules of COBOL syntax. These
expressions, an example of which is the statement
immediately following an IF, enable one of two
following statements to be executed at run time
depending on the truth value.
* Refer to the chapter Program Definition in your
Language Reference for details on the coding of the
particular statement which you have used. Revise your
code accordingly.
0316 Too many AFTERs in PERFORM statement
* A PERFORM statement can be followed only by seven
AFTER phrases. Your code exceeds this limit.
* Rewrite your code ensuring that no PERFORM statement
has more than seven associated AFTER phrases.
0317 Incorrect structure of Procedure Division
* You have made a mistake in the coding of the Procedure
Division. For example, you might have forgotten one
of the Section headers.
* Ensure that the Procedure Division follows a logical
order and that each section in it has its own header.
0318 File must have ACCESS SEQUENTIAL
* The file named in this statement must have sequential
access mode. A file's access mode is derived from its
SELECT statement; it is either implied by the file's
organization or specified by its ACCESS MODE clause.
* Change the access mode of the file to sequential.
0319 Only index-names allowed with this format
* An index-name is required at this point in the
operation you are trying.
* Edit your source code to ensure that the name you have
specified is an index-name.
0320 Too many operands in one statement
* A statement in the Procedure Division of your program
contains too many operands or individual operands that
are too long.
* Reduce the number of operands, or shorten those
operands that are too long.
0321 Repeated INDEXED BY phrase
* You have used more than one INDEXED BY phrase on a
table. This is not conformant with your selected
flagging dialect.
0322 Cannot reference DEBUG-ITEM outside declaratives
* You have referred to your COBOL system-generated data
item DEBUG-ITEM in a procedure that is not in the
Declaratives Section of your program's Procedure
Division. References to DEBUG-ITEM are permitted only
in the Declaratives Section.
* Delete the reference to DEBUG-ITEM, or move it to the
Declaratives Section.
0323 More than one USE procedure on same file
* You have associated two or more USE procedures with
the same file when you can associate only one.
* Delete the additional USE references.
0324 More than one USE procedure for same open mode
* You have associated two or more USE procedures with
the same file open mode when you can associate only
one.
* Delete the additional USE references.
0325 Illegal combination of debugging procedures
* You have specified an invalid combination of USE FOR
DEBUGGING procedures in the Declaratives.
* Refer to the chapter Debug Module in your Language
Reference--Additional Topics for details of debugging
procedures. Correct the declaratives.
0326 Literal cannot be receiving field
* You have specified a literal value as the receiving
field in an operation involving an implicit or
explicit move. A receiving field must be a data item.
* Change the literal value to a reference to a data
item.
0327 Index item not permitted
* You have named an index data item as the sending or
receiving field in a MOVE statement. This is not
permitted.
* Move the value into a nonindex data item and use this
data item in the MOVE statement.
0328 Not allowed with OPTIONAL file
0329 WHEN phrase missing from SEARCH statement
* You have specified a SEARCH statement with no WHEN
phrase. You must specify at least one WHEN phrase in
a SEARCH statement.
* Add a WHEN phrase to the SEARCH statement.
0330 Not a record name
* You must specify the name of a file record in this
context (as defined in an FD entry in the File
Section). You have probably misspelled a valid
record-name.
* Correct the reference so that it is a reference to a
file record.
0331 Program is nested--must compile with NESTCALL directive
* Your program contains one or more nested programs.
* Specify the NESTCALL directive when you submit your
program to the COBOL system.
0332 AFTER phrase not allowed with inline perform
* You cannot specify an AFTER phrase in an inline
PERFORM statement.
* Delete the AFTER phrase.
0333 Not an alterable paragraph
* The paragraph you have named in an ALTER statement is
not an ALTERable paragraph. An ALTERable paragraph
must consist of a single sentence containing only a
single GO TO statement (without a DEPENDING phrase).
* Change the reference in the ALTER statement to refer
to a paragraph that is ALTERable, or edit the named
paragraph so that it is an ALTERable paragraph.
0334 Cannot follow WHEN OTHER
* The WHEN OTHER phrase, if specified, must be the last
phrase in an EVALUATE statement.
* Ensure any WHEN phrases precede the WHEN OTHER phrase.
0335 Selection object does not match selection subject
* A type mismatch has occurred between one of the
selection subjects in an EVALUATE statement and the
corresponding selection object.
* Refer to the chapter Program Definition in your
Language Reference for the correct syntax of EVALUATE.
Correct the EVALUATE statement.
