TR0605

A column was expected but not found. Either you have referred to a column by an
object name or object identifier that Cognos Transformer is unable to locate, or you
have not referenced the column.
This error occurs when MDL syntax requires an object and is unable to find it. In
this case, the object is a column.
The problem may be that the column was not referenced, or that it was referenced
with an incorrect object name or object identifier. Or, if the column name changed,
the object name may differ between MDL and the Windows interface.
MDL derives the object name from the Original name box on the General tab of
the Column property sheet. The object name for the Windows interface is taken
from the Column name box on the same tab.
Procedure
You can verify Cognos Transformer object names and identifiers on the Windows
interface. To make them visible, select the Object name and Object identifier
check boxes on the Titles tab of the Preferences property sheet. The object name
and identifier will appear in the title bar at the top of each property sheet, and also
in a tool tip when your pointer hovers over an object.
You can also find object identifiers in the .mdl file. For more information, see the
Cognos Transformer Developer Guide.

TR0606

The specifications for the date format and the level of detail are inconsistent.
Confirm these specifications in the Column property sheet.
You have specified conflicting properties for the Date input format and the Degree
of detail on the Time tab of the Column property sheet.
Procedure
To resolve the problem, ensure that the date format provides sufficient information
for the specified Degree of detail. For example, if you specify a Degree of detail
of Day, meaning that the date values represent days, and the measures in the
input records represent daily values, then you cannot specify a Date input format
of YM because this does not provide sufficient detail to populate a time dimension
containing days.

TR0607

The data class in the Column property sheet is not compatible with the storage
type in the Measure property sheet. Change the data class or change the storage
type.
The data class of a column is not compatible with the storage type of a measure
that is based on that column. For example, if your database stores the Cost
measure as a non-numeric varchar, when you try to change the data type in
Cognos Transformer to numeric, an error occurs.
