Client-Library error messages

Error 1

The information being retrieved will not fit in the buffer.

Explanation: The buffer size specified is too small.

Action: Change the application code to specify a larger buffer size.

Error 2

Memory allocation failure.

Explanation: CICS is running short on storage.

Action: Have the CICS system programmer increase the size of the DSA or EDSA storage pools in the CICS start-up procedure.

Error 3

Parameter cannot be NULL. (e.g. invalid buffer address)

Explanation: The application passed an invalid buffer address of zero.

Action: Provide a valid buffer address.

Error 5

An illegal value given for parameter = action.

Explanation: The action code specified in a call contains an invalid value.

Action: Correct the application program to pass a valid value (for example, CS_SET or CS_GET in the ACTION parameter of the Client-Library routine).

Error 6

The maximum number of connections have already been opened.

Explanation: The maximum number of connections allowed for the program was reached. The default is 25 connections.

Action: Increase the maximum number of connections by issuing a CTBCONFIG call to increase the CS_MAX_CONNECT setting.

Error 10

Boolean values must be set to either CS_TRUE or CS_FALSE.

Explanation: An invalid value was specified for a Boolean argument; only 0 or 1 is valid.

Action: Correct the application program to specify a valid value for the Boolean argument.

Error 14

Cannot set this property/capability.

Explanation: Some configuration and property values are read-only values and cannot be set by an application.

Action: Remove the call to set a read-only value.

Error 16

This routine cannot be called after a command has been initiated to a Server.

Explanation: A Client Option application issues commands such as CTBPARAM and CTBCOMMAND while it receives the results of a previous command being returned from the server.

Action: Correct the application so that it does not send commands while receiving results from the server.

Error 46

An illegal value was placed in the DATAFMT structure.

Explanation: An invalid or undefined value was placed in one of the DATAFMT fields (for instance, FMT_TYPE, FMT_STATUS, FMT_COUNT, FMT_NAMELEN, FMT_MAXLEN).

Action: Check DATAFMT and correct the invalid value.

Error 50

The connection is dead/crashed.

Explanation: The SNA session to the remote server crashed due to a network outage, or the application running on the remote server abnormally terminated.

Action: Determine the cause of the crash and either have the VTAM operator restart the failing network connections or repair the server application.

Error 53

Not enough memory was available to save messages. All messages stored previously have been cleared.

Explanation: The maximum number of error messages was reached (as specified by the CS_MSGLIMIT value for CTBDIAG). As new messages were added, the old ones were released.

Action: Issue CTBDIAG calls to retrieve and free (CS_CLEAR option) error messages that are queued up.

Error 57

A result datatype cannot be bound to that host program variable type.

Explanation: An implicit conversion between the server datatype and the datatype of the host program variable is not supported.

Action: Bind the result column or parameter to a host variable that is compatible.

Error 60

Usage error. This routine has been called at an illegal time.

Explanation: A Client Option application cannot issue commands such as CTBPARAM and CTBCOMMAND when it issued a previous command and is receiving the results of that command from the server.

Action: Correct the application so that it does not send commands while receiving results from the server.

Error 79

Bind of result set item resulted in overflow.

Explanation: This warning indicates that an overflow occurred when converting a result set value to a program variable that is too small.

Action: Verify that the program variable size is correct.

Error 80

Bind of result set item resulted in underflow.

Explanation: This warning indicates that an underflow occurred when converting a result set value to a program variable that is too large.

Action: Verify that the underflow value is correctly processed.

Error 81

Bind of result set item failed because illegal precision value specified.

Explanation: The precision value is outside the bounds supported by the Client Option.

Action: Choose a smaller precision value. For additional information, see the Mainframe Connect Client Option Programmers’s Reference for the program language.

Error 82

Bind of result set item failed because illegal scale value was specified.

Explanation: The specified scale value is outside the bounds supported by the Client Option.

Action: Choose a smaller scale value. For additional information, see the Mainframe Connect Client Option Programmers’s Reference for the program language.

Error 89

The data for a column is NULL but no indicator variable was available.

Explanation: A NULL value was received for a column or parameter that was bound without a NULL indicator variable.

Action: Change the application to use NULL indicator variables.

Error 90

The data for a column was truncated but no indicator variable was available.

Explanation: No NULL indicator variable was defined for a column.

Action: If the truncated information is needed, define a NULL indicator variable in the CTBBIND call.

Error 91

A bind was missing for a column.

Explanation: This warning indicates that any data for the unbound column is discarded.

Action: Change the application to bind the data for that column, if the data is needed.

Error 95

Fetched value was truncated. 

Explanation: This is a warning message.

Action: Expand the size of the input buffer.

Error 110

The Conn Router Table has not been initialized.

Explanation: The start-up initialization for the Connection Router Table was not performed.

Action: Run the SYMPINIT PLT/PI program, or run the SYMI program after CICS is up, to initialize the Connection Router Table.

Error 111

The requested Server is not defined in the Conn Router Table.

Explanation: A configuration error has occurred.

Action: Use the Add option of the SYMS transaction to add the server to the system.

Error 112

No connections were configured for the requested Server.

Explanation: A configuration error has occurred.

Action: Use the Add option of the SYMC transaction to configure connections for the server.

Error 113

Temporary error: All connections to the requested server are currently in use.

Explanation: All the configured SNA connections to a server are in use.

Action: Increase the number of SNA connections to the designated server. Also, check that there are no “hung” transactions using connections to that server.

Error 114

Invalid context handle.

Explanation: An invalid context handle was used, or a previous CSBCTXALLOC failed.

Action: Fix the application program to use a valid handle.

Error 115

Invalid connection handle.

Explanation: An invalid connection handle was used, or a previous CTBCONALLOC failed.

Action: Fix the application program to use a valid handle.

Error 116

Invalid command handle.

Explanation: An invalid command handle was used, or a previous CTBCMDALLOC failed.

Action: Fix the application to use a valid handle.

Error 117

The operation requested is illegal on a client connection.

Explanation: The application tried to issue an Open Server command over a client command handle.

Action: Correct the application program to use an Open Server TDPROC handle.
