A-9
Cause. You have entered a command that does not apply to the particular object type;
for example, OUTPUT UPDATE specifies RECORD, or SHOW USE OF specifies
TOKEN-CODE, as the object type.
Effect. The DDL compiler does not execute the command.
Recovery. Use a different command for the particular object type.
Cause. A field description that you attempted to compile contains one or more
dictionary comments. A field description begins with a level number and ends with the
next period (.).
Effect. The DDL compiler does not enter the comment or comments in the dictionary.
Recovery. Specify the comment or comments before the entire field description and
recompile the object.
Cause. You have defined a computational item within a group defined with a VALUE
clause. For example, the following definition is invalid:
Def a.
02 b value zeros.
03 c pic 9 comp.
End
An initial value at the group level must be alphanumeric.
Effect. The DDL compiler rejects the object.
Recovery. Change the data type of the computational item, or remove the VALUE
clause from the group.
Cause. The data type of an item described with a USAGE IS COMP clause is not a
computational data type.
Effect. The DDL compiler rejects the object.
***ERROR*** Command not supported for specified object type
***WARNING*** Comment lines within element definition cannort
be saved
