Error Messages

Errors consist of 2 types - control card errors, and errors which result from local variable symbols defined in the VCRS program being too small (such as &VBLS).

EQUAL SIGN DOESN'T FOLLOW KEYWORD/CARD REJECTED

Explanation: This message occurs when a keyword on the control card is not followed by an equal sign.

END OF CARD REACHED/VALUE OR KEYWORD INVALID

Explanation: This message is printed when column 72 of the control card is reached on a scan without finding a delimiter for the keyword or keyword value being scanned.

INVALID KEYWORD ON CNTRL CARD

Explanation: The keyword is not LIST, GLOBAL, or SORT.

GLOBAL VALUE NOT A,B,C

Explanation: The value of the GLOBAL = field on the control card is not A, B, or C.

INVALID SYNTAX ON CNTRL CARD

Explanation: The syntax on the control card does not correspond to the rules specified in either Subset of Variable Types Option or Print the Globals Found in the Order Specified or Option Defaults.

RIGHT "PARENDS" MISSING ON CNTRL CARD/ASSUMED

Explanation: A right parenthesis is missing on the control card.

INSUFFICIENT CORE/INCREASE REGION SIZE

Explanation: A GETMAIN for core to be used as a work area cannot be satisfied.

MAX (nnn) NO. OF MEMBERS FOR LIST EXCEEDED/INCREASE &LISTMEM AND REASSEMBLE

Explanation: The LIST option was used to specify a LIST of members to be cross-referenced. The program only caters for nnn members. Increasing the value of local variable &LISTMEM and reassembly of VCRS will correct this error.

MAX (nnn) NO. OF CONTINUATION CARDS EXCEEDED/INCREASE &CONTCRD AND REASSEMBLE

Explanation: The program allows for nnn continuation cards in a statement. A statement has more than this number of continuation cards when this message is issued. The problem can be corrected by increasing the value of local variable &CONTCRD, reassembly of VCRS and re-execution.

CONTINUATION CNTRL CARD MISSING

Explanation: Continuation control card expected but not found.

ERROR RETURN CODE FROM SORT

Explanation: On return from the Sort phase of the program, General Register 15 contains a nonzero value indicating that an error occurred in the sort.

MAX (nnn) NO OF ALLOWED VARIABLES EXCEEDED - INCREASE &VBLS AND REASSEMBLE

Explanation: The number of global variables, nnn, allowed for in the program is less than the number occurring in the member being processed when the message is issued. This can be remedied by changing the value of local variable &VBLS, reassembly of VCRS and re-execution.

NO GLOBAL VARIABLES USED IN MEMBERS SEARCHED

Explanation: The members searched (PDS data definition as modified by LIST option) did not contain any Global variable definitions.

COPY REQUEST FOR MEMBER xxxxxxxx IN MEMBER yyyyyyyy IS A NESTED REQUEST/IGNORED

Explanation: See JCL-SYSLIB data definition.

BUFFER NOT AVAILABLE FOR xxxxxxxx

Explanation: Where xxxxxxxx is either SYSLIB (SYSLIB data definition or PDS (PDS data definition). An OS GETBUF macro instruction returned an error code for the specified data set.

SORT VALUE NOT SIP TYP GLB

Explanation: Sort parameter contained unknown keyword.

xxxxxxxx MEMBER NOT FOUND

Explanation: Member xxxxxxxx, specified via LIST option, not found in PDS data definition.

COPY REQUEST FOR MEMBER xxxxxxxx IN MEMBER yyyyyyyy NOT FOUND, IGNORED

Explanation: Copy member xxxxxxxx, requested by PDS member yyyyyyyy, not found in SYSLIB data set.
