B FastSort Error Messages
This appendix lists the FastSort error messages in three lists:

An alphabetic list of programmatic messages starting on B-1

A numeric list of programmatic messages starting on B-6

An alphabetic list of interactive messages (interactive messages are not
numbered) starting on B-35
The numeric list of programmatic error messages and the alphabetic list of interactive
error messages include the text for the error code, a possible cause, and recovery
strategies. This appendix also includes effect information for error messages that can
occur when users invoke FastSort transparently from SQL/MP.
To determine appropriate recovery action for some of these errors, see Guardian
Procedure Errors and Messages Manual, which has information about the file-system
and NEWPROCESS error codes that accompany FastSort error codes.
Whenever an error occurs, the SORTPROG process stops. After you take recovery
action, you need to start the process again.
You can specify a TAL procedure for FastSort to call when an error occurs. For more
information about creating and specifying a procedure for error recovery, see Writing a
User Error Procedure on page 5-37.
Alphabetic List of Programmatic Messages
Listed below are the programmatic FastSort error messages in alphabetic order
including the corresponding FastSort error code for each message. These messages
are listed numerically by FastSort error code later in this appendix.
