47-81
Message List
405 (Warning)
Cause. The compiler has determined that the value of this relation condition will be
always TRUE or always FALSE. (Example: a literal is compared to a shorter data
item.) This message might point only to the statement in error, not to the erroneous line
of the statement.
406 (Warning)
Cause. A value of a numeric literal specified as the sending operand in a SET
statement is greater than the maximum occurrence number defined for assignment to
an index-name specified as a receiving operand. Execution of the statement will assign
an improper value to the index-name.
407 (Warning)
Cause. A SEARCH ALL statement specifies a condition that does not conform to the
rules of the COBOL language. HP COBOL employs a serial rather than a binary
search technique in this situation.
408 (Error)
Cause. The sum of the buffer space needed for files exceeds 62 KB. (Reduce the size
of blocks specified in the BLOCK CONTAINS clause in one or more File Description
entries or reduce the number of files.)
425 (Error)
Cause. A national data item contains a USAGE clause.
426 (Error)
Cause. A national data item contains a SYNCHRONIZED clause.
Relation truth value is constant
SET statement literal not in subscript range
Improper SEARCH ALL condition - serial search used
Program buffer space exceeds 31000 words
Usage clause not permitted with specified picture
Synchronized clause not permitted with specified picture
