Introduction
Understanding Message Manual Entries
CAUSE and ACTION for Messages
Each message in this manual is followed by a CAUSE, which gives information as to why
the warning or error occurred. This is followed by an ACTION, which gives information on
how to resolve the problem, refers the user to an appropriate manual, or suggests
contacting an HP Service Representative or the Response Center. For example:
13 MESSAGE ! not a column name in table !. (DBERR 13)
CAUSE The column you specified in the LOAD EXTERNAL
command does not exist in the table specified.
ACTION Use the INFO command to check which columns are in the
specified table.
Use of Exclamation Points
Some messages contain one or more exclamation points (!), which are replaced by more
specific information (such as a number, filename, or subsystem name) when the condition
occurs. For example, if the filename you specified was PurchDF1, this message is received:
Error erasing file 'PurchDF1'. (DBERR 7)
The message is documented in this manual as:
Error erasing file '!'. (DBERR 7)
