Bad data in field in message to server:
field-name
Cause. Pathmaker encountered invalid data in the IPC message to a service. This is an
internal error.
Issued by the Pathmaker product and by PMADL.
Effect. Requester generation fails.
Recovery. Note this error message and contact your Tandem representative.
Bad hierarchy — more than one instance with no parent
Cause. You specified more than one record instance that has no parent; that is, more
than one record has no linkage information in the Link Info section of the Record
Instance Detail screen.
Issued by the Pathmaker product and by PMADL.
Effect. Requester generation or default screen generation fails.
Recovery. All records in a DB requester must be linked together to form a tree.
Therefore, one and only one record in this requester's context must not have linkage
information (Link Info); that record is the topmost record in the tree. All other records
must be linked as children to another record in the requester context.
Change the linkage hierarchy so that there is only one topmost record and regenerate.
Bad nondisplayed default value:
qualified-field-name
Cause. You have a nondisplayed field in this DB requester whose default value cannot
be inserted into the table, and INSERT is enabled. This may be a default value which
violates the field's MUST BE constraint, or a date/time or interval field without a valid
default.
Issued by the Pathmaker product and by PMADL.
Effect. Requester generation fails.
Recovery. Change the default value so that it is within the MUST BE range, display the
data field, or disable INSERT.
You can supply a default value for the field by adding a VALUE clause to the DDL
definition (ENSCRIBE) or a DEFAULT clause to the SQL DDL definition (SQL), and
then setting
Initial Values
to Y for this record instance.
If you do not supply a default value, Pathmaker automatically supplies a default value
of blanks or zeroes, depending on the data type of the field.
