Using CA Datacom/DB Utility (DBUTLTY) › Multiple Commands › Messages

Messages

Every DBUTLTY execution produces a listing that contains the command exactly as entered followed by an alphabetic listing of all keywords and values entered, (except if DDOVER= is found on the statement, the data after the = (equal sign) is set to blanks to the next blank or comma). If you omitted a required keyword, that keyword prints with dashes indicating the maximum length of the keyword value and an error message. When multiple errors exist for one keyword parameter, only one error is displayed.

You also receive messages that explain any operational errors or provide explanatory information. See the CA Datacom/DB Message Reference Guide for a complete description of all DBUTLTY messages. Any error normally terminates execution of the utility immediately. However, the EDIT syntax check function scans all input data and displays all errors found during basic editing.

Note: Some edit errors are found in later editing and are not found with the EDIT function.
