OPENFILE

Unable to open file %s

There are a variety of reasons a file can not be opened. The following are only some of the reasons:

The file specification was mistyped or does not exist
The directory specification was mistyped or does not exist
You may not have the proper priveleges to access the file
The file must be opened with write access, but cannot be because the file is read only. An example of this is a file residing on a CD-ROM

ALLOCFILE

Unable to allocate file %s

There are a variety of reasons a file can not be allocated. The following are only some:

a)The file does not exist

READFILE

Unable to read from file %s

Check the executables of the program. The user must first have permission to read a file from the programmer. Open up the list by typing "ls -l name" on UNIX or "directory/protection" on VMS.

WRITEFILE

Unable to write to file %s

There are a variety of reasons a file can not be written. The following are some:

CLOSEFILE

Unable to close file %s

There are a variety of reasons a file can not be closed. The following are some:

APPENFILE

Unable to append to file %s

There are a variety of reasons a file can not be appended to. The following are some:

SEEKFILE

Unable to seek through file %s to byte position %i

There are a variety of reasons a file can not be sought. The following are some:

INVFILTYP

The file does not contain %s data

An invalid filter type was selected

INVTYP

The file %s does not contain %s data

An invalid type...

MATCH

The files %s and %s %s

LABCORPT

The label file %s contains corrupt data {%s}

Corrupted label information...

NAVCORPT

The navigation file %s contains corrupt data at record %i

The program came across corrupted navigation data

MISSLABEL

The file %s must contain %s labels

Missing label...

MISSLABELM

The file %s has missing %s label element(s) {%s}

Missing label...

INVLABELM

The file %s has an invalid value for the %s label elements

Invalid labelm...

NODATA

All data is outside the range (%i, %i)

The input data is not within the program's range. There is no data for the program to process, so the user must be careful to stay within the parameters. For instance, if the user entered:

month=(-23,-3)

an error message of:

All data is outside the range (0,13)

would appear. This error could easily be remedied by following the parameters of the message.

INSFMEM

Insufficient static memory in %s, buffer name = %s

Insufficient memory...

PRGERR

Programmer error in %s, %s

This error message means that either the programmer possesses faulty logic, or that they have just discovered a "bug" in the programs' algorithm

SPECIAL

%s

A special error was encountered by the program

SYSERR

System error in %s, %s

A system error has occurred. As a result, the program is terminated.

RANGE

The range gives parameters in which the user must stay within to obtain accurate results. If a program exists within the range of (1,12] and the user entered:

month=66,

an error message of:

MONTH must be in the range of (1,12]

would appear. 66 is not within the parameters of the program. The error message states that input values must include numbers 2 through 12.

()=Parentheses tell the user that the number it encloses is excluded from the range.
[]=Brackets tell the user that the number it encloses is included in the range.
*=Astericks represent an infinite number.

%s must be in the range of (*,%i]
%s must be in the range of (*,%i)
%s must be in the range of [%i,*)
%s must be in the range of [%i,%i]
%s must be in the range of [%i,%i)
%s must be in the range of (%i,*)
%s must be in the range of (%i,%i]
%s must be in the range of (%i,%i)
%s must be in the range of (*,%d]
%s must be in the range of (*,%d)
%s must be in the range of [%d,*)
%s must be in the range of [%d,%d]
%s must be in the range of [%d,%d)
%s must be in the range of (%d,*)
%s must be in the range of (%d,%d]
%s must be in the range of (%d,%d)

COMPARE

An error message occurs when the user compares two values that are out of the parameters. For instance, if a user entered:

SL=210 EL=50

in a dk2dk program, an error message of:

SL must be less than EL

would appear. The Sample Line number must be less than the Ending Line number to make the proper subimage. %s must not be equal to %s
%s must not be greater than %s
%s must be less than %s
%s must be greater than or equal to %s
%s must be less than or equal to %s

MISSEQU

FILES command line is missing an equal sign

The program needs an equal sign within its files for the program to run.

If the program ratio were to be run, an input of:

ratio img2 img3,img4

may be entered. As a result and error message of:

FILES command line is missing an equal sign

will appear. The user should edit the line to say:

ratio img2=img3,img4

EXTRAEQU

FILES command line has more than one equal sign

The user needs to check their input and output commands for any extra equal signs so that they may be deleted.

If a user were running ratio, and input of:

ratio img21==img23,img15

were to be entered, and error message of:

FILES command line has more than one equal sign

would result. Edit the values and remove the extra equal sign(s).

ENOUGH

This error message prints when specifications are missing in a program. For instance, if a user were to run a ratio program and entered only a numerator, an error message of:

Not enough input file specifications where entered

would be seen. The same parameters apply for missing output file specifications.

Not enough %s file specifications where entered

TOOMANY

This error occurs when there is too much input or output information entered through a program. If a user were to run RATIO and entered input values 1, 2, and 3, an error message of:

FILES command line has too many input file specifications

would occur. The parameters for the program should be looked over by the user.

FILES command line has too many %s file specifications

SAME

The number of input and out put file specification must be the same

INVCOMBO

Invalid combination of input and output file specifications. Valid specifications are {%s}

An error message occurs when the number of required input and output values do not correspond. For example, if a user ran the program pca, entering 2 output files and 3 input files would result in:

Invalid comination of input and output file specifications. Valid specifications are {(2,3)(3,4)(4,5)(6,7)(7,8)}

The user should follow the displayed specifications.

NONULL

NULL file specification cannot be entered

INVFSPEC

Invalid %s file specification {%s}

EMPTYCMD

File specification must be entered

INVDATE

If a user were to enter:

month=July

An error message of:

Value is not a number {July}

would appear. Reprogram your input in number form, or recheck your input information.

OUFLOW

Number causes over/underflow {%s}

MISSPAR

PARAMS command line has a NULL or missing parameter name

INVPARAM

PARAMS command line has an invalid parameter name {%s}

INVSUBS

PARAMS command line has an invalid parameter subscript {%s}

MISSVAL

%s must have a value following the equal sign

The user did not enter a value after the equal sign. For instance, if

stretch=

were entered, a message of:

stretch must have a value following the equal sign

would appear. Edit the previous command and add a value.

MISSDELI

Missing a {%s} as a delimeter for %s

INVCHR

Invalid characters after ending delimeter for {%s}

ODDPAR

%s must be odd

The user's input is faulty. The number must be odd in order to receive results.

EVENPAR

%s must be even

The user's input must be of an even value

MUSTENT

%s must be entered

The file name must be entered in order for the program to run

SUBSOUT

%s has subscript out of range of [1,%i]

NOTARRY

%s is not an array

AMBIGPAR

Ambiguous parameter entered on PARAMS command line {%s}

INVEQUAL

%s cannot be followed by an equal sign

NOEQUAL

%s must be followed by an equal sign

This error message indicates a missing equal sign within the program's parameters.

REPEAT

%s was previously entered on PARAMS command line

This error message occurs when the same parameters are entered twice. For example, if the program stretch were to be run, and the user entered:

STRETCH=stretch str=21

and after the prompt entered again:

STRETCH=stretch str=21

The message:

STRETCH=stretch str=21 was previously entered on PARAMS command line

The user could either enter the next set of parameters, or type "help" for assistance towards the next set of parameters that must be entered.

INLIST

%s must be one of the following values {%s}

NOTINLIST

%s cannot be any of the following values {%s}

SELONE

One of these parameters must be selected {%s}

ONLYONE

Only one of these parameters can be selected {%s}

ONEGROUP

Only one of these groups of parameters can be used {%s}

INVSTR

Input stretch pairs out of order {%d,%d}

The stretch pairs that the user entered are out of order. For instance, if the user entered:

200;255 67;0

the message:

Input stretch pairs out of order {200,67}

would appear. Re-enter the input as:

67;0 200;255

for proper results. Input values must be in numerical sequence.

INCSTR

Incomplete stretch pair {%d}

The stretch pair that was run is incomplete. Add the necessary information.

SELGROUP

One of these groups of parameters must be selected {%s}

LEASTONE

At least one of these parameters must be selected {%s}

INVCHRSTR

The stretch has an invalid character {%s}

An invalid character has been entered into the program. Check the previous command for any mistakes. For instance, if the user entered:

STRETCH=stretch str#+=23

the message:

The stretch has an invalid character {#+}

would appear. The last command should be revised and the extra characters taken out.

NOBATCH

This program does not run under batch processing

NOJCL

This program does not run under jcl mode

INSFARG

Insufficient arguments on %s call number %i

STRRANGE

Stretch value {%s} is outside the range of [%d,%d]

The values the user entered into the stretch program do not follow the alloted range parameters. Edit the input following the printed range allocations.

NOSTRETCH

No %s stretches available

There are no stretches available from the input.

NOINVERSE

The %s matrix is not invertable

MORECTL

A %i degree fit requires at least %i control points

INVDATE

%s is an invalid date {%i}

If a user entered:

28101995,

an error message of:

28101995 is an invalid date

would appear. Dates need to follow the format MMDDYYYY.

Also, zeroes need to be entered accordingly. An input of 3241995 for March 24, 1995 is not valid; 03241995 must be entered instead.

INVTIME

%s is an invalid time{%d}

If a user were to enter:

246802,

the value would be invalid because it is not within the parameters. An error message of:

246802 is an invalid time

would appear.

Check the previous command for accuracy and form. Times must be entered in the form HHMMSS. Any deviation will end in an error message.

MAPINIT

Unable to initialize map projection

MAPINVPAR

The map projection parameters are invalid
