Syntax error in text file directive
Cause. A syntax error was detected in a help directive in the help file. The help file is
an EDIT file containing help directives and help text; HELPUTIL uses the help file to
update the help database.
Issued by HELPUTIL.
Effect. The directive is ignored and the current requester is not updated.
Recovery. Correct the help directive.
The help directive has this form:
?HELP
requester-name
,
screen-field-name
requester-name
is the requester name that you supplied on the Requester
Definition screen.
screen-field-name
can be generated by Pathmaker or supplied by you on the
Display Detail screen in the Screen Field Name field.
Syntax of object name is no longer supported —
object name
(
type
)
Cause. PMPROJECT CONVERT detected an object with an invalid name in the
Pathmaker catalog being converted. Some earlier versions of Pathmaker allowed
object names that began with a numeric character (0 through 9), or that ended with a
hyphen (-) character. Pathmaker no longer allows such names.
Issued by PMPROJECT.
Effect. PMPROJECT continues to convert the catalog, including the objects with
invalid names.
Recovery. Use PMADL to generate source descriptions of the objects. Rename the
objects in the source descriptions and recompile them using PMADL.
SYSKEY columns cannot be updated
Cause. You attempted to update a SYSKEY.
Issued by the generated application.
Effect. Operation fails.
Recovery. Do not update SYSKEYs.
