14 Only initialization with constant value(s) is allowed
A global initialization expression includes variables. Initialize global data only with
constant expressions, which can include @identifier when used with standard functions
that return a constant value. @ accesses the address of identifier, which must be a
nonpointer variable with a 16-bit address. For example:
STRUCT .st[0:1];
BEGIN
INT a;
INT b;
INT c;
END;
INT .p1 := @st.b; -- error 14
INT .p2 := @st '+' $OFFSET (st.b) / 2; -- works fine
INT .q1 := @st[1].c; -- error 14
INT .q2 := @st '+' $LEN (st) / 2
'+' $OFFSET (st.c) / 2; -- works fine
15 Initialization is illegal with reference specification
An equivalenced variable declaration tries to initialize the previously declared
variable. Initialize the previous variable before referring to it in the equivalenced
variable declaration. For example:
INT b;
INT .a = b := 5; !Cannot initialize B here; error 15
INT b := 5; !Can initialize B here
INT .a = b; !No error
16 Insufficient disk space on swap volume
The swap volume cannot accommodate your program. For example, either of the
following values are too large for the memory available on the swap volume:
The SQL PAGES value
The combined SQL PAGES and SYMBOLPAGES values
Reduce the value that is too large, or specify another swap volume.
