Runtime errors will have this format:
9D,xx
The 9D indicates a file system error and is reported in your FILE STATUS variable. The xx is a secondary error code. These are the secondary errors reported directly from Acu4GL:
9D,01 Read error on dictionary file
An error occurred while reading the XFD file; this probably means the XFD is corrupt. Recompile with -Fx to re-create the dictionary.
9D,02 Corrupt dictionary file
The dictionary file for one of your COBOL files is corrupt and cannot be read. Recompile with -Fx to re-create the dictionary.
9D,03 Dictionary (.xfd) file not found
The dictionary file for one of your COBOL files cannot be located. Be sure you have specified the correct directory via your XFD-DIRECTORY runtime configuration file variable. You may need to recompile with -Fx to create the dictionary.
9D,04 Too many fields in the key
There are more than 16 fields in a key. Check your key definitions and re-structure the key that is illegal, then recompile with -Fx.
9D,06 Mismatched dictionary file
The dictionary file (.xfd) for one of your files conflicts with the COBOL description of the file FD. The "xx" indicates a tertiary error code that is defined by the host file system. You can determine the exact nature of the mismatch by referring to the host system's error values.
The tertiary error code may have any of these values:
01 - mismatch found but exact cause unknown (this status is returned by the host file system)
02 - mismatch found in file's maximum record size
03 - mismatch found in file's minimum record size
04 - mismatch found in the number of keys in the file
05 - mismatch found in primary key description
06 - mismatch found in first alternate key description
07 - mismatch found in second alternate key description
The list continues in this manner for each alternate key.
9D,12 DBMaker library function returned an unexpected error
One of the DBMaker library functions returned an error that was not expected.
9D,13 Illegal size or type of data for variable xxx
An elementary data item in your FD was larger than 255 bytes, or there is no DBMaker type that matches the current data type.
9D,14 More than one table with the same name
When tables were listed, more than one table was found with the same name.
