Appendix A Error Messages

CAUSE: The character entered has been defined elsewhere to have a different special meaning. Each character can have only one special function.

ACTION: Choose a different character for this special function, or release this character for use by selecting a different character for the other special function.

CAUSE: The character input was out of the range of characters allowed for that function.

ACTION: Input a character within the range.

CAUSE: The file has been damaged so that the checksum is no longer valid. The utility still reads the data from the file into the work area, and when saving the data back to the file, a correct checksum is generated.

ACTION: Press the [Enter] key again to go to the form selected. Verify the data on the screen.

CAUSE: The file name specified is not a valid VFC file.

ACTION: Specify a file which is a VFC file.

CAUSE: The file specified is not a valid terminal type file.

ACTION: Specify a file which is a valid terminal type file.

CAUSE: The file name specified does not meet the requirements for an HP 3000 file name. It might be because the name starts with a non-alphabetic character or contains non-alphanumeric characters.

ACTION: Enter a valid file name.

CAUSE: Informational message only.

ACTION: No action is required.

CAUSE: If a file system error occurred when attempting to open the file specified, the file system error message is displayed in the error window.

ACTION: No action is required.

CAUSE: The file option given was not C, M, or V.

ACTION: Enter a valid file option.

CAUSE: The letter entered in the form specifier field is not one of the known form identifiers.

ACTION: Enter one of the listed form identifiers in the field.

CAUSE: You attempted to input a character in numerical format, but the number was not an integer.

ACTION: Input a valid number.

CAUSE: You have input more than the maximum allowed number of characters for the specified function.

ACTION: Reduce the number to less than or equal to the maximum specified in the error message.

CAUSE: In the input of a string, the program is expecting another character, but none follows. This is most likely caused by two commas in a row, or a comma at the end of a line without the ampersand.

ACTION: Remove the extra comma or insert the appropriate character.

CAUSE: The [Enter] key was pressed after choosing the View file option. You are not allowed to modify data while in View mode.

ACTION: Use only the soft keys.

CAUSE: The terminal type file name entered in the Terminal Type File Name field is in MPE V format.

ACTION: Convert the MPE V termtype file to MPE/iX format.

CAUSE: The field contains a value that is not within the range specified.

ACTION: Enter a value within the correct range.

CAUSE: The field requires N, L, P, or B as a valid response, but a different value was input.

ACTION: Change the value to N, L, P, or B.

CAUSE: The only valid entries for this field are ON and OFF, but some other value was entered.

ACTION: Change the value to either ON or OFF.

CAUSE: The field requires either a Y or an N as a valid response, but a different value was input.

ACTION: Change the value to either ON or OFF.

CAUSE: Because the terminal type file is already in MPE/iX format, there is no reason to convert it to MPE/iX format.

ACTION: No action is required.

CAUSE: The field is designed to accept only positive integers. The value entered contains characters other than digits.

ACTION: Enter a positive integer in the field.

CAUSE: The specified field requires a value and nothing was entered.

ACTION: Enter a value in the field.

CAUSE: The Next Form function key was pressed when at the last form menu, and there is no next form.

ACTION: Do not press the Next Form function key at the last form.

CAUSE: The Prev Form function key was pressed when at the Main Menu or when the VFC option was selected. There is no previous form.

ACTION: Do not press the Prev Form function at the Main Menu, or when the VFC option is selected.

CAUSE: You specified V for the View file option and to go to the VFC Menu, but this terminal type file does not have a VFC file associated with it.

ACTION: Specify a different menu.

CAUSE: The function key pressed is invalid when no file has been specified.

ACTION: Specify a file name first, or press a valid function key.

CAUSE: You used N, the Name Only option, when using the VFC entry point. Therefore, there is no terminal type file to store the name.

ACTION: Enter another option (C, M, V) in the VFC Head Menu.

CAUSE: The indicated field(s) contain invalid data.

ACTION: Either erase the indicated fields or go to another screen. Enter another option (C, M, V) in the VFC Head Menu.

CAUSE: You attempted to modify a terminal type file whose attributes cannot be reconfigured.

ACTION: Enter the previous value for the indicated fields again, or go to another screen. Enter another option (C, M, V) in the VFC Head Menu.

ACTION: Input a valid character.

CAUSE: You attempted to input a character, but the character could not be determined.

ACTION: Input a valid character.

CAUSE: You attempted to input a string, but the input could not be decoded.

ACTION: Enter in the correct string.

CAUSE: You specified M, for the Modify file option, but you do not have write access to the file. Therefore, you cannot modify it.

ACTION: Specify a different file, or use the View option.

CAUSE: You tried to exit or specify another file name after modifying the current file but without saving the modifications made.

ACTION: Press the Save Data function key if you want to save the modifications. If not, type EXIT at the command line or press the [Enter] key a second time to perform the desired operation.
