Recovery Proceed as described at the beginning of this subsection.
-5 (duplicate block numbers in the directory)
Cause A directory error occurred in an EDIT file.
Effect Processing stops.
Recovery Proceed as described at the beginning of this subsection.
-6 (numbers ran out)
Cause COMPRESSEDIT and EXTENDEDIT return this error when the new record number of the last
record in the file would be larger than 99999999. NUMBEREDIT returns this error when the new
record number of the last record to be renumbered would not be less than the record number of
the next record.
Effect In either case, the problem is that the increment parameter's value is too large, and the
procedure does nothing.
Recovery Change the increment parameter to an acceptable value.
-7 (record numbers out of order)
Cause DELETEEDIT and NUMBEREDIT return this error when the record number of the first record
to be deleted or renumbered is greater than that of the last.
Several other IOEdit procedures return this error when reading a file and finding a record whose
record number is not greater than that of the record preceding it.
Effect The procedure stops.
Recovery The file is bad but possibly most of the file's contents could be recovered by copying the
entire file and ignoring only the records having this error.
-8 (record length too large)
Cause Several IOEdit procedures return this error when reading a file and finding a record whose
length is such that the record would extend beyond the end of its block.
Effect The procedure stops.
Recovery The file is bad but possibly most of the file's contents could be recovered by copying the
entire file and ignoring only the records having this error.
-9 (record format inconsistent)
Cause Several IOEdit procedures return this error when reading a file and finding a record whose
compression codes disagree with the length of the record.
Effect The procedure stops.
