DDL Error and Warning Messages
Cause. You specified a numeric value with a VALUE clause for a group; group values
must be alphanumeric
Effect. DDL rejects the object.
Recovery. Specify an alphanumeric value and recompile.
Cause. You specified a VALUE clause for a group that contains a field described with
a MUST BE clause. If a group has an initial value, none of its field descriptions can
include a MUST BE clause.
Effect. DDL rejects the object.
Recovery. Remove the MUST BE clause and recompile.
Cause. A single line of help text exceeds 77 characters.
Effect. DDL enters the object definition into the dictionary.
Recovery. If the help text must fit on Pathmaker screens, break the text into shorter
lines and recompile. A single HELP clause can have many lines of help text, but each
line must be no more than 77 characters long.
Cause. A DDL name containing a hyphen (-) might duplicate a FORTRAN name.
Effect. When generating FORTRAN source code, DDL might use another identifier
with the same FORTRAN name but a different DDL name.
Recovery. Avoid using a hyphen in a name for a FORTRAN object.
Cause. A definition, record, or element name has more than 30 ASCII characters.
Effect. DDL rejects the object.
