Message: Restricted environment
Cause: You tried to use an operation that is not permitted in a restricted environment.
Action: Use an unrestricted version of the editor. Contact your system manager if you
do not have access to an unrestricted editor. Also, once the set variable
restrict is enabled, it cannot be disabled during the editor session.
Message: Result line of join would be too long
Cause: You attempted to use the join command to combine several lines into a single
line, the length of which would exceed the maximum line length indicated by
the configuration variable LINE_MAX.
Action: Specify fewer lines to be joined.
Message: Result of delete would produce a line too long
Cause: You attempted to delete a range of text from the middle of one line to the
middle of another. This would result in joining the remainders of the lines to
form a line, the length of which would exceed the maximum line length indicat-
ed by the configuration variable LINE_MAX.
Action: Make shorter lines.
Message: Result of substitution would produce a line too long
Cause: You specified a replacement string in a substitution command that would pro-
duce a line that is too long for ed to handle.
Action: Specify a shorter replacement string or split the original line into shorter lines
before performing the substitution.
Message: String too long in option assignment
Cause: You attempted to assign a string to a variable using the set command, but the
size of the string exceeded the allocated storage space.
Action: Specify a shorter string.
Message: System does not support job control
Cause: You attempted to use a job control command (for example, stop) on a system
that does not support job control.
Action: Avoid using commands that require job control. Request that the system manu-
facturer support job control.
Message: tagname: Bad tag file entry
Cause: vi encountered an entry in the tags file that it was unable to parse correctly.
Action: See the man page for ctags(1) for information on how to generate a tags file,
or ctags(2) for the correct format of a tags entry.
Message: Temporary file error
Cause: vi tried to set up the necessary temporary files for file buffer operation and
failed, possibly due to a lack of available disk space.
Action: Contact your system manager.
