NMFS Error and Warning Messages
NMFSERR and NMFSWARN messages are produced by the NMS File
Server (NMFILE.PUB.SYS). In most cases, they are accompanied by
other messages (NMGRERRs or MPE File System errors). You should
take the action recommended for the accompanying messages first.
MESSAGE: Unable to create new datafile. (NMFSERR 1)
NMFSERR 1 CAUSE: This error occurs when NMFILE cannot create a new file that
is requested by a call to NMCONFOPEN, because of an error in an
FOPEN. It could be due to a faulty call to NMCONFOPEN or an error
due to specific problems on the system itself, such as insufficient disk
space or an I/O error on the file label.
ACTION: See “File System Error” and “Submitting an SR” at the
beginning of this appendix.
MESSAGE: Unable to write root directory entry to datafile.
(NMFSERR 2)
NMFSERR 2 CAUSE: This error occurs when NMFILE calls MIDASBUILDROOT
when processing an NMCONFOPEN.
ACTION: See “File System Error” and “Submitting an SR” at the
beginning of this appendix.
MESSAGE: Unable to close datafile. (NMFSERR 3)
NMFSERR 3 CAUSE: FCLOSE failure in MIDASCLOSE, called by NMFILE when
processing an NMCONFCLOSE or NMCONFPURGE.
ACTION: See “File System Error” and “Submitting an SR” at the
beginning of this appendix.
MESSAGE: Unable to open datafile. (NMFSERR 4)
NMFSERR 4 CAUSE: FOPEN failure in MIDASOPEN called by NMFILE when
processing an NMCONFOPEN, or an FOPEN failure in
MIDASCOMPRESS. File does not exist.
ACTION: Create file first.
CAUSE: FOPEN failure in MIDASOPEN called by NMFILE when
processing an NMCONFOPEN, or an FOPEN failure in
MIDASCOMPRESS. File system error.
ACTION: See “File System Error” and “Submitting an SR” at the
beginning of this appendix.
MESSAGE: Unable to retrieve filecode from datafile. (NMFSERR 5)
NMFSERR 5 CAUSE: This error occurs when NMFILE calls MIDASOPEN which
fails on FGETINFO after an NMCONFOPEN was called. This may
indicate that the file label has been corrupted.
