DDL Error and Warning Messages
Cause. A field described with the USAGE IS INDEX clause is the wrong size for
COBOL85 output.
Effect. DDL does not produce the requested output for the object.
Recovery. Change the size of the index field, specify an index field of the correct size,
or request the output appropriate for the field size.
Cause. A definition or record description includes an INDEXED BY attribute without an
OCCURS or OCCURS DEPENDING ON clause.
Effect. DDL rejects the object.
Recovery. Add an OCCURS or OCCURS DEPENDING ON clause, or remove the
INDEXED BY attribute, and recompile the object.
Cause. An initial value for a group exceeds the combined size of the fields within
the group.
Effect. DDL rejects the object.
Recovery. Change the initial value or the combined field size and recompile.
Cause. An initial value for a field is outside the range specified for that field in a MUST
BE clause.
Effect. DDL rejects the object.
Recovery. Change the MUST BE range or the VALUE clause and recompile.
Cause. A group with a VALUE clause contains a field that also has a VALUE clause.
Effect. DDL rejects the object.
Recovery. Remove the VALUE clause from the field description and recompile.
