Utility Error Messages
Two types of error messages are generated by the utility programs. The first type is
conditional errors, which occur when a utility cannot begin a function. Conditional errors
do not cause utility program termination; this is discussed in more detail below. The
second type is unconditional errors, which occur when a utility cannot complete a function.
Unconditional errors usually cause program termination.
Conditional errors are associated with accessing the specified database. If you are in
session mode, conditional errors can be corrected without terminating the run. After
printing the error message, all utility programs, with the exception of DBUTIL, reprompt
with the message "WHICH DATABASE?", allowing you to reenter the database reference. If
you wish to terminate the utility program at this point, you can type a carriage return with
or without leading blanks. DBUTIL, after printing the error message, reprompts with two
greater than symbols (>>) at which point you can exit or enter another command. When
DBUTIL encounters any errors while executing, a job control word (JCW) is set to 99. You
can check the JCW in batch mode to determine whether or not a command was accepted. If
you are in job mode and a conditional error occurs while a function is executing, that
function is terminated.
The messages associated with conditional and unconditional errors are described along
with their meanings in the sections entitled "Utility Program Conditional Messages" and
"Utility Program Unconditional Messages."
Utility Program Conditional Messages
MESSAGE ACCESS DISABLED UNTIL RECOVERY HAS COMPLETED
MEANING Database is disabled for access, and recovery is enabled.
ACTION Users will be able to access the database after the recovery process has
completed.
MESSAGE ACCT NAME MORE THAN 8 CHARACTERS
MEANING The acctname part of DBNAME2 is too long.
ACTION Use EDITOR to change the FILE command.
MESSAGE APPARENT BACKUP/LOGFILE MISMATCH
MEANING A call to DBPUT, DBUPDATE, or DBDELETE, that apparently succeeded
when logging to the original database has failed during recovery.
ACTION Make sure the proper backup database was restored and that the
matching log file was used for recovery.
