FILE READ ERROR
This message appears when an I/O error occurred on the input file. The most
frequent cause of this error is file-system error 11, file not found, when using the IN
command. Check the subvolume and file name of the file.
FILE FORMAT ERROR
This message appears when an error in the format of the EDIT file is detected. This
error is very rare. If this error occurs, edit the file. EDIT displays a message that
begins with “THIS FILE IS INVALID,” prints several numbers, then asks if you want
to recover. Type Y and RETURN.
FILE SEQUENCE ERROR
This message appears when an error in the sequence field of the EDIT file is detected;
the line numbers are out of order. This error can occur if you press the BREAK key to
leave the editor, then stop EDIT with the Command Interpreter STOP command.
If this error occurs, edit the file. EDIT displays a message that begins with ‘THIS FILE
IS INVALID,” prints several numbers, then asks if you want to recover. Type Y and
RETURN. This procedure does not always restore the file to its previous state,
depending on the reason for the error. However, if it does not work, you usually have
to retype only a few lines.
LINE TOO LONG
A line longer than the line length specified in the OUTLEN command is in the EDIT
file, and TGAL truncated the line on the printed page. The line in the EDIT file is left
intact. Either change the value of the OUTLEN command, or shorten the indicated
line.
