| MESSAGE | MEANING | ACTION |
|---|---|---|
| A DUMMY DATA SET CAN BE EQUIVALENCED TO ONLY ONE DATA SET | The same dummy data set can only be used in one data set equivalence. | Correct the command and re-enter it. |
| A FILE WITH THE GIVEN NAME ALREADY EXISTS | There is already a file with the same name in the specified group and account. | Either use a different file name or purge the existing file with that name. |
| A PARENTHESIS OR BRACKET IS NOT PAIRED IN PATTERN | A left or right parenthesis or bracket is missing. | Correct the command and re-enter it. |
| A SPECIFIED OPTION NOT ALLOWED FOR USER PROCEDURES | Only the SPACE and SKIP options can be used with user procedures. | Correct the command and re-enter it. |
| A TRANSACTION IS IN PROGRESS; TRANSEND MUST BE CALLED BEFORE ANOTHER TRANSBEGIN | TRANSBEGIN was entered twice without any intervening TRANSEND. Another transaction cannot be started until the preceding transaction has ended. | Enter TRANSEND if you want to end the current transaction. |
| ADD OPTION ALREADY SPECIFIED | The ADD option has been entered twice for the same total statement. | Re-enter the statement with a single ADD option. |
| ADD OPTION NOT ALLOWED IN STATEMENT | A statement other than Total contains an ADD option. | Re-enter the statement without the ADD option. |
| ALL DATA SET NAMES ARE VALID NAMES, DATA SET EQUIVALENCES WERE IGNORED | The specified dummy data set name is an existing data set in one or more open data bases. | Re-enter the command with a valid dummy data set name. |
| ALPHA EDIT MASK EXCEEDS MAXIMUM SIZE | The number of characters in an alphanumeric edit mask exceeds the length of the output device record. | Correct the edit mask length by changing the Edit Statement. |
| ARITHMETIC OVERFLOW [ON Rn] |
The sum of data item values being totaled (using a Total statement ADD option) exceeds 20 digits. A register arithmetic operation caused an underflow/overflow condition on the specified register number n. | The REPORT command terminates.
