Cause. The attributes specified in an OPEN statement that referenced an already-
open file were incompatible with the attributes in effect from the file’s original open. If a
routine opens a file connection for an already-open file, the attributes of the second
(and subsequent) opens must be the same as those of the original open except for the
BLANK parameter, which can be different.
Effect. The file remains open. The value of BLANK for the already-open file is not
changed. If the OPEN statement specified an ERR or an IOSTAT clause, the program
retrains control. Otherwise, the run-time library terminates the program.
Recovery. Modify the routine to ensure that multiple connections to the same file open
specify the same attributes—or do not specify attributes—except, possibly, the BLANK
parameter.

Cause. A routine invoked START BACKUP but the backup could not be started. nnn
specifies the reason the backup was not able to start. For more details, see Table 7-10
on page 7-102.
Effect. nnn gives the reason that the backup could not be created. nnn is a NonStop
process status code. See Table 7-10 on page 7-102.
Recovery. Control returns to the routine, which might either retry the START BACKUP
statement or run without a backup process.
261
Cause. A routine called CHECKPOINT but the checkpoint request could not be
completed. nnn specifies the reason the checkpoint was unsuccessful. For more
details, see Table 7-10 on page 7-102.
Effect. nnn gives the reason the checkpoint was unsuccessful. nnn is a NonStop
process status code. See Table 7-10 on page 7-102.
Recovery. Control returns to the routine, which might retry the CHECKPOINT
statement, run without checkpointing, or terminate.
OPEN for unit open with inconsistent attribute values
START BACKUP failed with status code nnn
CHECKPOINT failed with status code nnn
