COBOL Manual for TNS/E Programs (H06.08+, J06.03+)

75
Cannot obtain buffer space
Cause
An attempt to allocate buffer space failed. The possible reasons are:
• COBOL_SPECIAL_OPEN_ attempted to get space for level 3 spooling or for at least one
record.
• An OPEN of a file assigned to $RECEIVE attempted to get space for various tables.
• An OPEN of an EDIT file attempted to get space to process the file.
• An OPEN of other files attempted to get space for ADVANCING processing.
Effect
The OPEN statement is unsuccessful with I-O status code “91.” The COBOL_SPECIAL_OPEN_
call is unsuccessful with I-O status code “30.”
Recovery
The program should close files as soon as it is done using them.
76
Invalid external file name ( error )
Cause
A value that was expected to be a Guardian external file name is not in the correct format.
Effect
Program behavior is language and application dependent. An HP COBOL program terminates
abnormally.
Recovery
If you supplied an invalid file name, correct the file name and rerun your program. Otherwise,
consult your system administrator.
77
EDITREADINIT failed ( error )
Cause
A call to EDITREADINIT failed. In CRE message 77, error, if present, gives the reason for the
failure. Possible values of error are:
Error NameError Code
End-of-file marker encountered-1
I-O error-2
Text file format error-3
Invalid buffer address-6
Effect
The OPEN statement is unsuccessful with I-O status code “91.”
Recovery
If the code is -2, there was an input-output error; try the statement again. If the code is -3, the
file is not an EDIT file. Assign the correct file. If the code is -4 there is a sequence number error.
Use EDIT, TEDIT, or Codewright to correct the file.
