Numeric List of Programmatic Messages
Cause. The flags2 value in the call to SORTMERGESTART was not valid.
Recovery. Correct the value of the flags2 parameter. For the description of flags2,
seeunder the SORTMERGESTART Procedure on page 5-19.
Cause. The number of subsort processes specified in the call to SORTMERGESTART
was outside the limits.
Recovery. Change the value of the subsort-count parameter to specify from 2 to
16 subsort processes. Because more than 8 subsort processes can cause run-time
errors, HP recommends that you specify a maximum of 8 subsorts.
Cause. The flags parameter in the call to SORTMERGESTART specified both
MINSPACE and MINTIME.
Recovery. Set either the MINSPACE flag or the MINTIME flag to 0 before you specify
the flags parameter. For descriptions of these flags, see Table 5-4 on page 5-32.
Cause. The extended segment size specified in the call to SORTMERGESTART was
out of limits.
Recovery. Correct the segment value in the process-start parameter. For the
description of process-start, see SORTMERGESTART Procedure on page 5-19.
Cause. The call to SORTMERGESTART specified that the NEWPROCESS structure
be expanded but did not specify the structure; or the calling process requested parallel
sorting but did not specify that the NEWPROCESS structure be expanded.
Recovery. Correct the values of the process-start parameter. For the description
of process-start, see SORTMERGESTART Procedure
on page 5-19.
Cause. A block buffer address in the call to SORTBUILDPARM was outside stack
limits; or the call to SORTMERGESTART specified nowait I/O, but the call to
SORTBUILDPARM specified only one of the two buffers.
Recovery. Correct the value of the buffer or buffer2 parameter or both values; or
omit the nowait parameter, flags2, from the call to SORTMERGESTART. For more
