Return Code  Message 
L183  COMPONENT NAME ambiguous: ‘type name’ in TYPE: 
‘type name’  
Hint: This type has a component whose relative name can be 
associated with more than one type in the type tree. Rename the 
conflicting types. 
L184  RESTRICTION longer than max TYPE size – RESTRICTION 
# of TYPE: ‘type name’  
Hint: The Type in error is an item. Either change the maximum 
size of the item or remove the restriction. 
L185  RESTRICTION used in an earlier partition – 
RESTRICTION # of TYPE: ‘type name’  
Hint: Item Partitions must have mutually exclusive restrictions. 
Remove the restriction from one of the partition restriction lists. 
L186  Type of COMPONENT does not exist – ‘type name’ in 
TYPE: ‘type name’  
Hint: You probably entered an incorrect type name. Try the drag 
and drop approach to get the correct one. 
L187  TYPE must be partitioned (since in a partitioned 
tree and has sub-types) – TYPE: ‘type name’  
Hint: All types in a partitioned sub-type must have mutually 
exclusive data objects. Set the partitioned property for the type in 
error. 
L188 
Reserved for future use. 
L189  TYPE is FIXED, but COMPONENT # is not fixed – TYPE: 
‘type name’  
Hint: If the component is not intended to be fixed in size, change 
the group format for the Type to implicit. If the group format is 
intended to be fixed, check the component: if that component is 
an item, make sure it has a Padded To length; if that component 
is a group, change its type to be of fixed syntax. 
L190  BINARY text ITEM used as COMPONENT neither FIXED 
nor SIZED – COMPONENT # of TYPE: ‘type name’  
Hint: The size of a binary text item must either have a Padded To 
length or it must be sized by the previous component.
