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.

MESSAGE: NO ERRORS WERE DETECTED.
Level: 0

CAUSE: No errors occurred during the file transfer.

ACTION: None. This is an informative message.


MESSAGE: UNABLE TO OPEN NFT MESSAGE CATALOG.
Level: 1

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.


MESSAGE: ATTEMPTED READ FROM INPUT FILE FAILED.
Level: 2

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.


MESSAGE: UNABLE TO OPEN SECONDARY OUTPUT FILE.
Level: 3

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.


MESSAGE: UNABLE TO OPEN INPUT FILE.
Level: 4

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).


MESSAGE: COMMAND LINE IS TOO LONG.
Level: 5

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.


MESSAGE: CALL TO GENMESSAGE FAILED.
Level: 6

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.


MESSAGE: KEYWORD DICTIONARY IS TOO LONG.
Level: 8

CAUSE: Probable internal error.

ACTION: See Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: COMMAND LINE CONTAINS TOO MANY PARAMETERS.
Level: 9

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


MESSAGE: NO SOURCE FILE WAS SPECIFIED.
Level: 10

CAUSE: Usually a typographical error.

ACTION: Retype and reissue the command.


MESSAGE: NO CLOSING QUOTE WAS SPECIFIED.
Level: 11

CAUSE: Usually a typographical error.

ACTION: Retype and reissue the command.


MESSAGE: ! IS INVALID DELIMITER BETWEEN TARGET AND KEYWORDS.

CAUSE: Usually a typographical error.

ACTION: Retype and reissue the command.


MESSAGE: UNKNOWN KEYWORD: !
Level: 14

CAUSE: Usually a typographical error.

ACTION: Retype and reissue the command.


MESSAGE: REMOTE ENVIRONMENT SPECIFIED BY USER DOES NOT EXIST.
Level: 15

CAUSE: The session associated with the specified node or environment cannot be found. Either the 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 additional error information.


MESSAGE: RESTART ID FILE NAME IS TOO LONG.
Level: 16

CAUSE: Restart ID file name exceeds the length of a legal MPE file name.

ACTION: Correct the file name and re-enter the command.


MESSAGE: INVALID FILE SIZE.
Level: 19
