Preprocessing Errors

• Unexpected preprocessor or DBEnvironment termination

• Preprocessor invocation errors

• SQLIN errors

• DBEnvironment errors

Preprocessor or DBEnvironment Termination

Whenever the COBOL preprocessor stops running unexpectedly while you are using it in full preprocessing mode, sections stored during the preprocessor's DBE session are automatically dropped when the DBEnvironment is next started up. Unexpected preprocessor session termination occurs, for example, when a DBA processes a STOP DBE command during a preprocessor DBE session.

Preprocessor Invocation Errors

If a file named SQLIN cannot be found, preprocessing terminates with the following message:

        Input source file not found.  (DBERR 10921)

In addition, the invocation line may name a DBEnvironment that does not exist or contain erroneous syntax:

   Cannot connect to DBEnvironment.  (DBERR 10953)

   DBECON Error - Privileged file violation.  (DBERR 3067)



   Error in preprocessor command line. (DBERR 10908)

   Expected right parenthesis after MODULE/OWNER name.  (DBERR 10919)

SQLIN Errors

When the COBOL preprocessor encounters errors when parsing SQLIN, messages are placed in SQLMSG. Refer to the discussion earlier in this chapter under SQLMSG for additional information on this category of errors.

DBEnvironment Errors

Some errors can be caused because:

Refer to the ALLBASE/SQL Database Administration Guide for information on handling DBEnvironment errors.
