Selection Messages

Selection messages occur when a field used in the criteria to select records contains either:

• Invalid numeric data
• An invalid subscript value

The following table lists the messages produced by EEHF for errors that occur on SELECT/BYPASS parameters. The following report shows each message as it appears on the Run Time Messages listing.

The following list describes additional information that can appear along with these messages:

Select Condition Reference Number

SELECT CONDITION REFERENCE NUMBER reference-number

This message specifies the number of the selection condition reference assigned in the Input Parameter Listing. For example, EEHF prints SELECT CONDITION REFERENCE NUMBER 2 for the SELECT statement shown below when it encounters invalid numeric data for EMP-ID:

********
SEL/BYP  REF       CONDITION
********
 SEL             $     (EMP-NAME LT 'E') OR (EMP-ID GT 0100)
 SEL    00001      EMP-NAME  LT        'E'
 SEL    00002      EMP-ID    GT        0100
            ▲
            SELECT CONDITION REFERENCE NUMBER 2

Input Record Number

INPUT RECORD NUMBER record-number

This message specifies the file record number or input buffer record number associated with the SELECT/BYPASS parameter.

Field at Time of Interrupt Invalid

FIELD ONE/TWO AT TIME OF INTERRUPT INVALID

This message specifies that the first or second field in the conditional expression is invalid. CA Culprit prints a hexadecimal dump of the field that caused the error.

Subscript Invalid for Field

SUBSCRIPT INVALID FOR FIELD ONE/TWO

This message specifies that the subscript value for either the first or second field in the conditional expression is invalid. The subscript can be invalid if it is:

• Nonnumeric
• Negative
• Greater than the maximum number of occurrences specified for the multiply-occurring field

Invalid Numeric Data Used

The following report shows an example of the message and the record layout when invalid numeric data is used in the selection process:
