Destination

Console (communication server), message log (batch request utility), or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.

CBKxx2805E

Length of parameter value beginning at offset offset is incorrect for associated parameter.

Explanation

The command parser has detected that an operand is the wrong length for the parameter with which it is associated. This means it could be either too long or, in some cases, too short. The offset value indicates the position of the invalid value.

System action

The command is not processed.

User response

Correct the operand and retry.

Destination

Console (communication server), message log (batch request utility), or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.

System action

The command is not processed.

User response

Correct the numeric operand and retry.

Destination

Console (communication server), message log (batch request utility), or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.

CBKxx2810E

Message log

CBKxx2824E

Unable to determine CICS to send this request to.

Explanation

The batch request utility is processing a command that does not specify a CICS® applid, and the utility does not have a default applid either. This could be because the most recent DEFAULT command did not specify the CICS parameter, un-setting one that was defined earlier. The CICS parameter is needed, either on the command itself, or as a previously specified default value, to determine which CICS region to send the request to.

System action

The command is not processed.

User response

Add the CICS parameter to either the current command, the most recent DEFAULT command or to a new DEFAULT command and retry.

Destination

Message log

CBKxx2825E

Request is not in command format. First field should contain the command name.

Explanation

The first field in the input string is not a command, that is, it is in parameter format instead of command format. Parameter format means that the field is followed immediately, in the next character position, by an operand enclosed in parentheses. In command format the first field is followed by a blank.

System action

The command is not processed.

User response

Correct the command syntax to specify a command name in the first field and retry.

Destination

Message log

CBKxx2826E

field is not the name of a valid command.

Explanation

The first field in the input string, denoted by field, is not the name of a valid command. The valid command names are DEFAULT, LINK, RUNCEMT, SET and START.

System action

The command is not processed.

User response

Specify a valid command in the first field of the statement and retry.

Destination

Message log

CBKxx2827E

Parameter keyword at offset offset has already been specified.

Explanation

The parameter keyword is specified more than once in the current statement. The offset value indicates the position of the second occurrence.

System action

The command is not processed.

User response

Remove the duplicate parameter and retry.

Destination

Message log

CBKxx2828E

System action

The command is not processed.

User response

Add the required parameter to the command and retry.

Destination

Message log

CBKxx2831E

Unable to locate end of operand for keyword parameter. Expected ‘)’ not found.

Explanation

The closing parenthesis is not present at the end of the operand for keyword. Instead, the parser has reached the end of the command string

System action

The command is not processed.

User response

This is probably because your command statement does not have the correct number of opening and closing parentheses within the operand value. You can nest open and close parentheses within an operand value, but each open parenthesis must be matched with a closing parenthesis. Check that the number of close parentheses matches the number of open parentheses for the operand.
