Effect. The DDL compiler rejects the object.
Recovery. Correct the number and recompile.
Cause. A number in octal format contains a decimal point; for example, %6.5 is not a
valid octal number.
Effect. The DDL compiler rejects the object.
Recovery. Correct the number and recompile.
Cause. The security of some dictionary files prevented the DDL compiler from deleting
the files from the dictionary.
Effect. The dictionary is not purged.
Recovery. Change the file security and manually purge the remaining dictionary files.
Cause. A field definition or description has more than one PICTURE or TYPE clause.
Effect. The DDL compiler rejects the object.
Recovery. Remove all but one PICTURE or TYPE clause and recompile.
Cause. The DDL compiler was asked to generate output for a source language other
than COBOL and the DDL item contains a PACKED-DECIMAL field.
Effect. The DDL compiler issues error messages and does not generate output for the
language identified as language_name. For example:
!?tal
! SCHEMA PRODUCED DATE - TIME : 8/01/2000 - 15:05:22
Output source for TAL is opened on $ZTN1.#PTPJHYV
!def emp pic 9999 PACKED-DECIMAL.
Definition EMP size is 3 bytes.
Definition EMP added to dictionary.
*** WARNING *** TAL OUTPUT DIAGNOSTICS:
*** ERROR *** Element contains PACKED-DECIMAL data type - EMP
*** ERROR *** PACKED-DECIMAL data type is not supported in TAL
*** ERROR *** Errors detected - no output produced for EMP
***ERROR*** Octal numbers can’t contain decimal points
***ERROR*** Old dictionary is only partially purged in
subvol- subvolume-name
***ERROR*** Only one TYPE clause per element allowed
***ERROR*** PACKED-DECIMAL data type is not supported in
language_name
