FUP Messages

This section describes the text messages that FUP might generate. Each description
includes an explanation of what caused the message to be generated, explains the
effect the erroneous activity has on the system process, and provides a suggested
mode of recovery.
FUP generates four basic types of error messages:

Informative messages that require no action

Error messages (preceded by the word ERROR) that indicate a mistake with the
command

Warning messages (preceded by the word WARNING) that indicate an operation is
potentially dangerous (but is executed)

Severe-problem messages (preceded by the word CALAMITY)
Note. You should never receive a severe-problem message (CALAMITY). If you do, contact
your service provider.
A PARTITION/ALTFILE NAME POINTS TO A NONEXISTENT VOLUME
Cause. During an attempt to create a new file (by using the CREATE or DUP
command) or alter an old file, a secondary file (secondary partition or alternate-key file)
was placed on a nonexistent volume.
Effect. A warning is issued, and the command execution proceeds.
Recovery. Place all alternate-key files and secondary partitions on the primary volume
or on existing volumes.
ALL PARTITIONS OF A NON-KEY-SEQUENCED FILE MUST HAVE SAME
FORMAT VERSION
Cause. A FUP CREATE or SET command was used to specify a partition for a non-
key-sequenced file that had a different file format than an existing partition.
Effect. The command fails.
Recovery. Reenter the command with an appropriate file format.
ALT FILE IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH ALT KEYS
Cause. Characteristics of the existing alternate-key file in the LOADALTFILE
command conflict with the characteristics implied by keys defined in the primary-key
file.
Effect. LOADALTFILE terminates unsuccessfully.
Recovery. Alter the ALTKEYs and ALTFILEs in the primary file.
