Appendix A. MESSAGES

This appendix lists all messages generated by the IDMS
Analyzer.  Some messages are generated during the processing
of the control statements, while others are caused by various
conditions in the data.  The messages are listed in ascending
numerical sequence and include the full text of the message,
the type, the reason for the message, appropriate user
action, and applicable document references.

Four type codes are used to categorize the messages:

Information    A note to the user that documents an IDMS
               option or potentially important feature in the
               data.

Warning        A condition of either the data or the control
               statements that does not affect the IDMS
               Analyzer's operation, but that can lead to
               unexpected results.

Error          A problem has been encountered with a control
               statement that will prevent a successful run
               of the IDMS Analyzer.  Execution is stopped
               after all control statements are processed.

Termination    A critical problem has been encountered with
               the data that requires the IDMS Analyzer to
               terminate processing immediately.

The message texts often include references to information
contained in a control statement or values of variables from
temporary IDMS Analyzer work files.   In these cases, the
message text will contain a string in double quotes,
indicating that a value will be substituted into the text at
execution time.  For example, message IDM00012 reads:

GRAPHS OPTION INVALID, MUST BE EITHER ON OR OFF
VALUE="GRAPHS"

If the following invalid statement were to be found in the
IDMOPS control stream:

GRAPHS XXX

The message printed would take the form:

GRAPHS OPTION INVALID, MUST BE EITHER ON OR OFF
VALUE=XXX


The IDMS Analyzer messages are divided into two categories:

    1 - IDMCGEN and IDMPGEN Messages
    2 - DAY045 Messages

Each of these categories is discussed separately below.
