D-2
Cause. The font-name parameter specified in the FONT directive or after a location 
in the locations section was more than 16 characters long.
Effect. The Font utility aborts. Any font jobs created and configuration changes made 
to this point remain. 
Recovery. Shorten the font name so that it does not exceed 16 characters. In most 
cases, you can fix the script file and rerun the Font utility without undoing any 
configuration changes that the Font utility made in the spooler.
Cause. Either the font-name parameter specified in the FONT directive contains 
spaces, or a comment after font-name did not begin with an exclamation point (!).
Effect. The Font utility aborts. Any font jobs created and configuration changes made 
to this point remain. 
Recovery. Either remove blanks from the font name or put the ! character before any 
comments on this line. In most cases, you can fix the script file and rerun the Font 
utility without undoing any configuration changes that the Font utility made in the 
spooler.
Cause. The Font utility received error nnnnnn from a PRINTREAD call when trying to 
read the next record from the spooler job file (file code 129) specified as a source file in 
a SOURCE directive.
Effect. The Font utility aborts. Any font jobs created and configuration changes made 
to this point remain. 
Recovery. Contact your service representative. In most cases, you can fix the script 
file and rerun the Font utility without undoing any configuration changes that the Font 
utility made in the spooler.
There might be a job that was created in the spooler that has its ABNORMAL flag set 
to YES because the Font utility did not close the job properly.  This job should be 
deleted. You can find jobs that the Font utility created with the following SPOOLCOM 
command: 
SPOOLCOM ; JOB (REPORT LASER FONT JOB)
If the job has an X in the FLAGS column and the TIME field corresponds to the time 
that you ran the Font utility, delete this job.
