C.2.2 Compiler-Fatal Diagnostic Messages

Conditions can be encountered of such severity that compilation must be terminated at once. These conditions are caused by hardware errors, software errors, and errors that require changing the FORTRAN command. Printed messages have the form:

%F90-F-MNEMONIC, error_text

The first line of the message contains the appropriate file specification or keyword involved in the error. The operating system supplies more specific information about the error whenever possible. For example, a file read error might produce the following error message:

%F90-F-ERROR, error reading _DBA0:[SMITH]MAIN.FOR;3 -RMS-W-RTB, 512 byte record too big for user's buffer -F90-F-ABORT, abort

The secondary operating system (in this case the RMS facility) message provides helpful information about the actual cause of the error, as described in the OpenVMS System Messages and Recovery Procedures Reference Manual or the equivalent OpenVMS HELP/MESSAGE facility.

C.3 Messages from the HP Fortran Run-Time System

Errors that occur during execution of your HP Fortran program are reported by diagnostic messages from the HP Fortran Run-Time Library (RTL). These messages may result from hardware conditions, file system errors, errors detected by RMS, errors that occur during transfer of data between the program and an internal record, computations that cause overflow or underflow, incorrect calls to the HP Fortran RTL, problems in array descriptions, and conditions detected by the operating system.

As described in Section 7.2, the severity of run-time diagnostic messages can be fatal (F), error (E), warning (W), and informational (I).

The following example shows how run-time messages appear:

%FOR-F-ADJARRDIM, adjustable array dimension error

Table C-1 is an alphabetical list of run-time diagnostic messages, without the message prefixes FOR, SS, and MTH. (Refer to Table 7-1 for a list of the messages in error-number sequence.) For each message, Table C-1 gives a mnemonic, the message number, the severity of the message, the message text, and an explanation of the message.

You can also view a description of specified messages using the following command:

$ HELP FORTRAN RUN_TIME

This displays the mnemonics of all HP Fortran run-time diagnostic messages. You can abbreviate the HELP command words and specify a specific error mnemonic, such as:

$ HELP FORTRAN RUN FILNOTFOU

During a floating-point or decimal arithmetic operation, an attempt was made to divide by 0.0.

FLTINE 140 E, floating inexact
A floating-point arithmetic or conversion operation gave a result that differs from the mathematically exact result. This trap is reported if the rounded result of an IEEE operation is not exact.

FLTINV 65 E, floating invalid
During an arithmetic operation, the floating-point values used in a calculation were invalid for the type of operation requested, or invalid exceptional values. For example, when requesting a log of the floating-point values 0.0 or a negative number.
For certain arithmetic expressions, specifying the /CHECK=NOPOWER qualifier can suppress this message (see Section 2.3.11). For information on allowing exceptional IEEE values, see Section 2.3.24.

FLTOVF 72 E, arithmetic trap, floating overflow
During an arithmetic operation, a floating-point value exceeded the largest representable value for that data type. The result returned was the reserved operand, --0 for VAX-format floating-point and NaN for IEEE-format floating-point.

FLTUND 74 E, floating underflow
During an arithmetic operation, a floating-point value became less than the smallest finite value for that data type and was replaced with a value of zero. When using the /FLOAT=IEEE_FLOAT, depending on the values of the /IEEE_MODE qualifier, the underflowed result was either set to zero or allowed to gradually underflow. See Chapter 8 for ranges of the various data types.

FMTIO_UNF 257 F, formatted I/O to unit open for unformatted transfers
Attempted formatted I/O (such as list-directed or namelist I/O) to a unit where the OPEN statement indicated the file was unformatted (FORM specifier). Check that the correct unit (file) was specified.
If the FORM specifier was not specified in the OPEN statement and the file should contain formatted data, specify FORM='FORMATTED' in the OPEN statement. Otherwise, if appropriate, use unformatted I/O.

FMYSYN 58 I, format syntax error at or near xxx
Check the statement containing xx, a character substring from the format string, for a format syntax error. For information about FORMAT statements, refer to the HP Fortran for OpenVMS Language Reference Manual.

An attempt was made either to read or write a real variable with an integer field descriptor (I, L, O, Z, B), or to read or write an integer or logical variable with a real field descriptor (D, E, or F). If /CHECK=NOFORMAT is in effect (see Section 2.3.11), the severity is I (program continues). If execution continues, the following actions occurred:

If I, L, O, Z, B, conversion as if INTEGER (KIND=4).
If D, E, or F, conversion as if REAL (KIND=4).

To suppress this error message, see Section 2.3.11.

INCFILORG 51 F, inconsistent file organization
One of the following conditions occurred:

The file organization specified in an OPEN statement did not match the organization of the existing file.
The file organization of the existing file was inconsistent with the specified access mode; that is, direct access was specified with an indexed organization file, or keyed access was specified with a sequential or relative organization file.

INCKEYCHG 50 F, inconsistent key change or duplicate key
A WRITE or REWRITE statement accessing an indexed organization file caused a key field to change or be duplicated. This condition was not allowed by the attributes of the file, as established when the file was created.

Specifications in an OPEN or CLOSE statement were inconsistent. Some invalid combinations follow:

ACTION= ' READ ' or READONLY with STATUS= ' NEW ' or STATUS= ' SCRATCH '
ACCESS= ' APPEND ' with READONLY, ACTION= ' READ ' , STATUS= ' NEW ' , or STATUS= ' SCRATCH '
DISPOSE='SAVE', 'PRINT', or 'SUBMIT' with STATUS='SCRATCH'
DISPOSE='DELETE' with READONLY or ACTION= ' READ '

The HP Fortran Run-Time Library attempted to exceed its virtual page limit while dynamically allocating space. Inform your system manager that process quotas and/or system parameters need to be increased. For information about virtual memory use, see Section 1.2 and the HP Fortran Installation Guide for OpenVMS I64 Systems or HP Fortran Installation Guide for OpenVMS Alpha Systems.

INTDIV 71 F, integer zero divide
During an integer arithmetic operation, an attempt was made to divide by zero. The result of the operation was set to the dividend, which is equivalent to division by one (1).

INTOVF 70 F, integer overflow
During an arithmetic operation, an integer value exceeded its range. The result of the operation was the correct low-order part. Consider specifying a larger integer data size (or use the /INTEGER_SIZE qualifier for INTEGER declarations without a kind or specifier.) See Chapter 8 for ranges of the various integer data types.

INVARGFOR 48 F, invalid argument to Fortran Run-Time Library
The HP Fortran compiler passed an invalid coded argument to the Run-Time Library. This can occur if the compiler is newer than the HP Fortran RTL in use.

INVARGMAT 81 F, invalid argument to math library
One of the mathematical procedures detected an invalid argument value.

INVDEALLOC 153 F, allocatable array is not allocated
A Fortran allocatable array or pointer must already be allocated when you attempt to deallocate it. You must allocate the array or pointer before it can again be deallocated.

INVDEALLOC2 173 F, A pointer passed to DEALLOCATE points to an array that cannot be deallocated
A pointer that was passed to DEALLOCATE pointed to an explicit array, an array slice, or some other type of memory that could not be deallocated in a DEALLOCATE statement. Only whole arrays previously allocated with an ALLOCATE statement can be validly passed to DEALLOCATE.

INVKEYSPE 49 F, invalid key specification
A key specification in an OPEN statement or in a keyed access READ statement was invalid. For example, the key length may have been zero or greater than 255 bytes, or the key length may not conform to the key specification of the existing file.

A logical unit number less than zero or greater than 2,147,483,647 was used in an I/O statement.

INVMATKEY 94 F, invalid key match specifier for key direction
A keyed READ used an invalid key match specifier for the direction of that key. Use KEYGE and KEYGT only on ascending keys. Use KEYLE and KEYLT only on descending keys. Use KEYNXT and KEYNXTNE to avoid enforcement of key direction and match specifier.

INVREALLOC 151 F, allocatable array is already allocated
A Fortran allocatable array must not already be allocated when you attempt to allocate it. You must deallocate the array before it can again be allocated.

INVREFVAR 19 F, invalid reference to variable in NAMELIST input

An attempt was made to specify a substring using an unsubscripted array variable.

KEYIO_DIR 260 F, keyed-access I/O to unit open for direct access
The OPEN for this unit number specified direct access and the I/O statement specifies keyed access. Check the OPEN statement and make sure the I/O statement uses the correct unit number and type of access. (For more information on statements, see the HP Fortran for OpenVMS Language Reference Manual.)

KEYVALERR 45 F, keyword value error in OPEN statement
An improper value was specified for an OPEN or CLOSE statement keyword specifier requiring a value.

LISIO_SYN 59 F, list-directed I/O syntax error

One of the following conditions occurred:

An attempt was made to use both formatted and unformatted operations on the same unit.
An attempt was made to use an invalid combination of access modes on a unit, such as direct and sequential. The only valid combination is sequential and keyed access on a unit opened with ACCESS='KEYED'.
An attempt was made to execute a Fortran I/O statement on a logical unit that was opened by a program coded in a language other than Fortran.

NOTFORSPE 1 F, not a Fortran-specific error
An error occurred in the user program or in the HP Fortran RTL that was not a Fortran-specific error.

NO_CURREC 53 F, no current record
A REWRITE or current record DELETE operation was attempted when no current record was defined. To define the current record, execute a successful READ statement. You can optionally perform an INQUIRE statement on the logical unit after the READ statement and before the REWRITE statement. No other operations on the logical unit may be performed between the READ and REWRITE statements.

NO_SUCDEV 42 F, no such device
A file specification included an invalid or unknown device name when an OPEN operation was attempted.

NULPTRERR 146 F, null pointer error

OPEDEFREQ 26 F, OPEN or DEFINE FILE required for keyed or direct access
One of the following conditions occurred:

A direct access READ, WRITE, FIND, or DELETE statement specified a file that was not opened with a DEFINE FILE statement or with an OPEN statement specifying ACCESS='DIRECT'.
A keyed access READ statement specified a file that was not opened with an OPEN statement specifying ACCESS='KEYED'.

OPEFAI 30 F, open failure
An error was detected by RMS while attempting to open a file in an OPEN, INQUIRE, or other I/O statement. This message is issued when the error condition is not one of the more common conditions for which specific error messages are provided. It can occur when an OPEN operation was attempted for one of the following:

During a formatted output operation, the value of a particular number could not be output in the specified field length without loss of significant digits. If /CHECK=NOOUTPUT_CONVERSION is in effect (see Section 2.3.11), the severity is I (program continues). When /CHECK=NOOUTPUT_CONVERSION is in effect or if no ERR address is defined for the I/O statement encountering this error, the program continues and the entire overflowed field is filled with asterisks to indicate the error in the output record.

OUTSTAOVE 66 F, output statement overflows record
An output statement attempted to transfer more data than would fit in the maximum record size.

RANGEERR 150 F, range error
An integer value appears in a context where the value of the integer is outside the permissible range.

RECIO_OPE 40 F, recursive I/O operation
While processing an I/O statement for a logical unit, another I/O operation on the same logical unit was attempted. One of the following conditions may have occurred:

A function subprogram that performs I/O to the same logical unit was referenced in an expression in an I/O list or variable format expression.
An I/O statement was executed at AST level for the same logical unit.
An exception handler (or a procedure it called) executed an I/O statement in response to a signal from an I/O statement for the same logical unit.

SEQIO_DIR 259 F, sequential-access I/O to unit open for direct access
The OPEN for this unit number specified direct access and the I/O statement specifies sequential access. Check the OPEN statement and make sure the I/O statement uses the correct unit number and type of access. (For more information on statements, see the HP Fortran for OpenVMS Language Reference Manual.)

SHORTDATEARG 175 F, DATE argument to DATE_AND_TIME is too short (LEN=n), required LEN=8
The number of characters associated with the DATE argument to the DATE_AND_TIME intrinsic was shorter than the required length. You must increase the number of characters passed in for this argument to be at least 8 characters in length. Verify that the TIME and ZONE arguments also meet their minimum lengths.

SHORTTIMEARG 176 F, TIME argument to DATE_AND_TIME is too short (LEN=n), required LEN=10
The number of characters associated with the TIME argument to the DATE_AND_TIME intrinsic was shorter than the required length.

An exponentiation that is mathematically undefined was attempted, for example, 0.**0. The result returned for floating-point operations was --0 for VAX-format floating-point and NaN for IEEE-format floating-point. For integer operations, zero is returned.

UNFIO_FMT 256 F, unformatted I/O to unit open for formatted transfers
Attempted unformatted I/O to a unit where the OPEN statement indicated the file was formatted (FORM specifier). Check that the correct unit (file) was specified.
If the FORM specifier was not specified in the OPEN statement and the file should contain unformatted data, specify FORM= ' UNFORMATTED ' in the OPEN statement. Otherwise, if appropriate, use formatted I/O (such as list-directed or namelist I/O).

UNIALROPE 34 F, unit already open
A DEFINE FILE statement specified a logical unit that was already opened.

UNLERR 56 F, UNLOCK error
RMS detected an error condition during execution of an UNLOCK statement.

VFEVALERR 68 F, variable format expression value error

The file was not opened for sequential or append access. An unformatted file did not contain segmented records. RMS detected an error during execution of an ENDFILE statement.
ENDRECDUR	268	F, end of record during read An end-of-record condition was encountered during execution of a nonadvancing I/O READ statement that did not specify the EOR branch specifier.
ERRDURREA	39	F, error during read RMS detected an error condition during execution of a READ statement.
ERRDURWRI	38	F, error during write RMS detected an error condition during execution of a WRITE statement.
FILNAMSPE	43	F, file name specification error A file-name specification given to an OPEN or INQUIRE statement was not acceptable to RMS.

FINERR	57	F, FIND error RMS detected an error condition during execution of a FIND statement.
FLOCONFAI	95	E, floating point conversion failed The attempted unformatted read or write of nonnative floating-point data failed. One of the following conditions occurred for a nonnative floating-point value: When using VAX data types in memory (/FLOAT=G_FLOAT or /FLOAT=D_FLOAT), the value exceeded the allowable maximum value for the equivalent native format and was set equal to invalid. When using VAX data types in memory (/FLOAT=G_FLOAT or /FLOAT=D_FLOAT), the value was infinity (plus or minus), Not-a-Number (NaN), or otherwise invalid and was set to invalid. When using IEEE data types in memory (/FLOAT=IEEE_FLOAT), the value exceeded the allowable maximum value for the equivalent native format and was set equal to infinity (plus or minus). When using IEEE data types in memory (/FLOAT=IEEE_FLOAT), the value was infinity (plus or minus) and was set to infinity (plus or minus). When using IEEE data types in memory (/FLOAT=IEEE_FLOAT), the value was invalid and was set to Not-a-Number (NaN). Make sure the correct file was specified. Make sure the record layout matches the format HP Fortran is expecting. Check that the correct nonnative floating-point data format was specified, as described in Chapter 9.
FLODIV0EXC	299	I, nn divide-by-zero traps The total number of floating-point divide-by-zero traps encountered during program execution was nn. This summary message appears at program completion.

FLOUNDMAT	89	E, floating underflow in math library A floating underflow condition was detected during execution of a math library procedure. The result returned was zero.
FLTDIV	73	E, zero divide During a floating-point or decimal arithmetic operation, an attempt was made to divide by 0.0.
FLTINE	140	E, floating inexact A floating-point arithmetic or conversion operation gave a result that differs from the mathematically exact result. This trap is reported if the rounded result of an IEEE operation is not exact.
FLTINV	65	E, floating invalid During an arithmetic operation, the floating-point values used in a calculation were invalid for the type of operation requested, or invalid exceptional values. For example, when requesting a log of the floating-point values 0.0 or a negative number. For certain arithmetic expressions, specifying the /CHECK=NOPOWER qualifier can suppress this message (see Section 2.3.11). For information on allowing exceptional IEEE values, see Section 2.3.24.
FLTOVF	72	E, arithmetic trap, floating overflow During an arithmetic operation, a floating-point value exceeded the largest representable value for that data type. The result returned was the reserved operand, --0 for VAX-format floating-point and NaN for IEEE-format floating-point.
FLTUND	74	E, floating underflow During an arithmetic operation, a floating-point value became less than the smallest finite value for that data type and was replaced with a value of zero. When using the /FLOAT=IEEE_FLOAT, depending on the values of the /IEEE_MODE qualifier, the underflowed result was either set to zero or allowed to gradually underflow. See Chapter 8 for ranges of the various data types.
FMTIO_UNF	257	F, formatted I/O to unit open for unformatted transfers Attempted formatted I/O (such as list-directed or namelist I/O) to a unit where the OPEN statement indicated the file was unformatted (FORM specifier). Check that the correct unit (file) was specified. If the FORM specifier was not specified in the OPEN statement and the file should contain formatted data, specify FORM='FORMATTED' in the OPEN statement. Otherwise, if appropriate, use unformatted I/O.
FMYSYN	58	I, format syntax error at or near xxx Check the statement containing xx, a character substring from the format string, for a format syntax error. For information about FORMAT statements, refer to the HP Fortran for OpenVMS Language Reference Manual.
FORVARMIS	61	F or I, format/variable-type mismatch An attempt was made either to read or write a real variable with an integer field descriptor (I, L, O, Z, B), or to read or write an integer or logical variable with a real field descriptor (D, E, or F). If /CHECK=NOFORMAT is in effect (see Section 2.3.11), the severity is I (program continues). If execution continues, the following actions occurred: If I, L, O, Z, B, conversion as if INTEGER (KIND=4). If D, E, or F, conversion as if REAL (KIND=4). To suppress this error message, see Section 2.3.11.
INCFILORG	51	F, inconsistent file organization One of the following conditions occurred: The file organization specified in an OPEN statement did not match the organization of the existing file. The file organization of the existing file was inconsistent with the specified access mode; that is, direct access was specified with an indexed organization file, or keyed access was specified with a sequential or relative organization file.
INCKEYCHG	50	F, inconsistent key change or duplicate key A WRITE or REWRITE statement accessing an indexed organization file caused a key field to change or be duplicated. This condition was not allowed by the attributes of the file, as established when the file was created.
INCOPECLO	46	F, inconsistent OPEN/CLOSE parameters Specifications in an OPEN or CLOSE statement were inconsistent. Some invalid combinations follow: ACTION= `'` READ `'` or READONLY with STATUS= `'` NEW `'` or STATUS= `'` SCRATCH `'` ACCESS= `'` APPEND `'` with READONLY, ACTION= `'` READ `'` , STATUS= `'` NEW `'` , or STATUS= `'` SCRATCH `'` DISPOSE='SAVE', 'PRINT', or 'SUBMIT' with STATUS='SCRATCH' DISPOSE='DELETE' with READONLY or ACTION= `'` READ `'` ACCESS= `'` APPEND `'` with STATUS= `'` REPLACE `'` ACCESS= `'` DIRECT `'` or `'` KEYED `'` with POSITION= `'` APPEND `'` , `'` ASIS `'` , or `'` REWIND `'`
INCRECLEN	37	F, inconsistent record length One of the following occurred: An attempt was made to create a new relative, indexed, or direct access file without specifying a record length. An existing file was opened in which the record length did not match the record size given in an OPEN or DEFINE FILE statement. An attempt was made to write to a relative, indexed, or direct access file that was not correctly created or opened.
INCRECTYP	44	F, inconsistent record type The RECORDTYPE value in an OPEN statement did not match the record type attribute of the existing file that was opened.
INFFORLOO	60	F, infinite format loop The format associated with an I/O statement that included an I/O list had no field descriptors to use in transferring those values.
INPCONERR	64	F, input conversion error During a formatted input operation, an invalid character was detected in an input field, or the input value overflowed the range representable in the input variable. The value of the variable was set to zero.
INPRECTOO	22	F, input record too long A record was read that exceeded the explicit or default record length specified when the file was opened. To read the file, use an OPEN statement with a RECL value of the appropriate size.
INPSTAREQ	67	F, input statement requires too much data Attempted to read more data than exists in a record with an unformatted READ statement or with a formatted sequential READ statement from a file opened with a PAD specifier value of `'` NO `'` .
INSVIRMEM	41	F, insufficient virtual memory The HP Fortran Run-Time Library attempted to exceed its virtual page limit while dynamically allocating space. Inform your system manager that process quotas and/or system parameters need to be increased. For information about virtual memory use, see Section 1.2 and the HP Fortran Installation Guide for OpenVMS I64 Systems or HP Fortran Installation Guide for OpenVMS Alpha Systems.
INTDIV	71	F, integer zero divide During an integer arithmetic operation, an attempt was made to divide by zero. The result of the operation was set to the dividend, which is equivalent to division by one (1).
INTOVF	70	F, integer overflow During an arithmetic operation, an integer value exceeded its range. The result of the operation was the correct low-order part. Consider specifying a larger integer data size (or use the /INTEGER_SIZE qualifier for INTEGER declarations without a kind or specifier.) See Chapter 8 for ranges of the various integer data types.
INVARGFOR	48	F, invalid argument to Fortran Run-Time Library The HP Fortran compiler passed an invalid coded argument to the Run-Time Library. This can occur if the compiler is newer than the HP Fortran RTL in use.
INVARGMAT	81	F, invalid argument to math library One of the mathematical procedures detected an invalid argument value.
INVDEALLOC	153	F, allocatable array is not allocated A Fortran allocatable array or pointer must already be allocated when you attempt to deallocate it. You must allocate the array or pointer before it can again be deallocated.
INVDEALLOC2	173	F, A pointer passed to DEALLOCATE points to an array that cannot be deallocated A pointer that was passed to DEALLOCATE pointed to an explicit array, an array slice, or some other type of memory that could not be deallocated in a DEALLOCATE statement. Only whole arrays previously allocated with an ALLOCATE statement can be validly passed to DEALLOCATE.
INVKEYSPE	49	F, invalid key specification A key specification in an OPEN statement or in a keyed access READ statement was invalid. For example, the key length may have been zero or greater than 255 bytes, or the key length may not conform to the key specification of the existing file.
INVLOGUNI	32	F, invalid logical unit number A logical unit number less than zero or greater than 2,147,483,647 was used in an I/O statement.
INVMATKEY	94	F, invalid key match specifier for key direction A keyed READ used an invalid key match specifier for the direction of that key. Use KEYGE and KEYGT only on ascending keys. Use KEYLE and KEYLT only on descending keys. Use KEYNXT and KEYNXTNE to avoid enforcement of key direction and match specifier.
INVREALLOC	151	F, allocatable array is already allocated A Fortran allocatable array must not already be allocated when you attempt to allocate it. You must deallocate the array before it can again be allocated.
INVREFVAR	19	F, invalid reference to variable in NAMELIST input The variable in error is shown as "varname" in the message text. One of the following conditions occurred: The variable was not a member of the namelist group. An attempt was made to subscript the scalar variable. A subscript of the array variable was out-of-bounds. An array variable was specified with too many or too few subscripts for the variable. An attempt was made to specify a substring of a noncharacter variable or array name. A substring specifier of the character variable was out-of-bounds. A subscript or substring specifier of the variable was not an integer constant. An attempt was made to specify a substring using an unsubscripted array variable.
KEYIO_DIR	260	F, keyed-access I/O to unit open for direct access The OPEN for this unit number specified direct access and the I/O statement specifies keyed access. Check the OPEN statement and make sure the I/O statement uses the correct unit number and type of access. (For more information on statements, see the HP Fortran for OpenVMS Language Reference Manual.)
KEYVALERR	45	F, keyword value error in OPEN statement An improper value was specified for an OPEN or CLOSE statement keyword specifier requiring a value.
LISIO_SYN	59	F, list-directed I/O syntax error The data in a list-directed input record had an invalid format, or the type of the constant was incompatible with the corresponding variable. The value of the variable was unchanged.
LOGZERNEG	83	F, logarithm of zero or negative value An attempt was made to take the logarithm of zero or a negative number. The result returned was --0 for VAX-format floating-point and NaN for IEEE-format floating-point.
MIXFILACC	31	F, mixed file access modes One of the following conditions occurred: An attempt was made to use both formatted and unformatted operations on the same unit. An attempt was made to use an invalid combination of access modes on a unit, such as direct and sequential. The only valid combination is sequential and keyed access on a unit opened with ACCESS='KEYED'. An attempt was made to execute a Fortran I/O statement on a logical unit that was opened by a program coded in a language other than Fortran.
NOTFORSPE	1	F, not a Fortran-specific error An error occurred in the user program or in the HP Fortran RTL that was not a Fortran-specific error.
NO_CURREC	53	F, no current record A REWRITE or current record DELETE operation was attempted when no current record was defined. To define the current record, execute a successful READ statement. You can optionally perform an INQUIRE statement on the logical unit after the READ statement and before the REWRITE statement. No other operations on the logical unit may be performed between the READ and REWRITE statements.
NO_SUCDEV	42	F, no such device A file specification included an invalid or unknown device name when an OPEN operation was attempted.
NULPTRERR	146	F, null pointer error Attempted to use a pointer that does not contain an address. Modify the source program, recompile, and relink.
OPEDEFREQ	26	F, OPEN or DEFINE FILE required for keyed or direct access One of the following conditions occurred: A direct access READ, WRITE, FIND, or DELETE statement specified a file that was not opened with a DEFINE FILE statement or with an OPEN statement specifying ACCESS='DIRECT'. A keyed access READ statement specified a file that was not opened with an OPEN statement specifying ACCESS='KEYED'.
OPEFAI	30	F, open failure An error was detected by RMS while attempting to open a file in an OPEN, INQUIRE, or other I/O statement. This message is issued when the error condition is not one of the more common conditions for which specific error messages are provided. It can occur when an OPEN operation was attempted for one of the following: Segmented file that was not on a disk or a raw magnetic tape Standard process I/O file that had been closed
OPEREQSEQ	265	F, operation requires sequential file organization and access Attempted BACKSPACE operation for a unit that is not connected to a sequential file opened for sequential access. Make sure the BACKSPACE statement specified the right unit number and the OPEN statement specified the correct file and access.
OPERREQDIS	264	F, operation requires file to be on disk or tape Attempted BACKSPACE operation for a unit that is not connected to a disk or tape device. Make sure the BACKSPACE statement specified the right unit number and the OPEN statement specified the correct device.
OUTCONERR	63	E or I, output conversion error During a formatted output operation, the value of a particular number could not be output in the specified field length without loss of significant digits. If /CHECK=NOOUTPUT_CONVERSION is in effect (see Section 2.3.11), the severity is I (program continues). When /CHECK=NOOUTPUT_CONVERSION is in effect or if no ERR address is defined for the I/O statement encountering this error, the program continues and the entire overflowed field is filled with asterisks to indicate the error in the output record.
OUTSTAOVE	66	F, output statement overflows record An output statement attempted to transfer more data than would fit in the maximum record size.
RANGEERR	150	F, range error An integer value appears in a context where the value of the integer is outside the permissible range.
RECIO_OPE	40	F, recursive I/O operation While processing an I/O statement for a logical unit, another I/O operation on the same logical unit was attempted. One of the following conditions may have occurred: A function subprogram that performs I/O to the same logical unit was referenced in an expression in an I/O list or variable format expression. An I/O statement was executed at AST level for the same logical unit. An exception handler (or a procedure it called) executed an I/O statement in response to a signal from an I/O statement for the same logical unit.
RECNUMOUT	25	F, record number outside range A direct access READ, WRITE, or FIND statement specified a record number outside the range specified when the file was created.
RESACQFAI	152	F, unresolved contention for HP Fortran RTL global resource. Failed to acquire an HP Fortran RTL global resource for a reentrant routine. For a multithreaded program, the requested global resource is held by a different thread in your program. For a program using asynchronous handlers, the requested global resource is held by the calling part of the program (such as the main program) and your asynchronous handler attempted to acquire the same global resource.
REWERR	20	F, REWIND error One of the following conditions occurred: The file was not a sequential organization file. The file was not opened for sequential or append access. RMS detected an error condition during execution of a REWIND statement.
REWRITERR	54	F, REWRITE error RMS detected an error condition during execution of a REWRITE statement.
ROPRAND	144	F, reserved operand The HP Fortran encountered a reserved operand. Please report the problem to HP.
SEGRECFOR	35	F, segmented record format error An invalid segmented record control data word was detected in an unformatted sequential file. The file was probably either created with RECORDTYPE='FIXED' or 'VARIABLE' in effect, or was created by a program written in a language other than Fortran.
SEQIO_DIR	259	F, sequential-access I/O to unit open for direct access The OPEN for this unit number specified direct access and the I/O statement specifies sequential access. Check the OPEN statement and make sure the I/O statement uses the correct unit number and type of access. (For more information on statements, see the HP Fortran for OpenVMS Language Reference Manual.)
SHORTDATEARG	175	F, DATE argument to DATE_AND_TIME is too short (LEN=n), required LEN=8 The number of characters associated with the DATE argument to the DATE_AND_TIME intrinsic was shorter than the required length. You must increase the number of characters passed in for this argument to be at least 8 characters in length. Verify that the TIME and ZONE arguments also meet their minimum lengths.
SHORTTIMEARG	176	F, TIME argument to DATE_AND_TIME is too short (LEN=n), required LEN=10 The number of characters associated with the TIME argument to the DATE_AND_TIME intrinsic was shorter than the required length. You must increase the number of characters passed in for this argument to be at least 10 characters in length. Verify that the DATE and ZONE arguments also meet their minimum lengths.
SHORTZONEARG	177	F, ZONE argument to DATE_AND_TIME is too short (LEN=n), required LEN=5 The number of characters associated with the ZONE argument to the DATE_AND_TIME intrinsic was shorter than the required length. You must increase the number of characters passed in for this argument to be at least 5 characters in length. Verify that the TIME and DATE arguments also meet their minimum lengths.
SIGLOSMAT	87	F, significance lost in math library The magnitude of an argument or the magnitude of the ratio of the arguments to a math library function was so large that all significance in the result was lost. The result returned was the reserved operand, -0.
SPERECLOC	52	F, specified record locked A read operation or direct access write, find, or delete operation was attempted on a record that was locked by another user.
SQUROONEG	84	F, square root of negative value An argument required the evaluation of the square root of a negative value. The result returned was the reserved operand, --0 for VAX-format floating-point and NaN for IEEE-format floating-point.
STKOVF	147	F, stack overflow The HP Fortran RTL encountered a stack overflow while executing your program.
STRLENERR	148	F, string length error During a string operation, an integer value appears in a context where the value of the integer is outside the permissible string length range. Try recompiling with /CHECK=BOUNDS or examine source code.
SUBRNG	77	F, subscript out of range An array reference was detected outside the declared array bounds.
SUBSTRERR	149	F, substring error An array subscript is outside the dimensioned boundaries of an array. Try recompiling with /CHECK=BOUNDS or examine source code.
SYNERRFOR	62	F, syntax error in format A syntax error was encountered while the HP Fortran RTL was processing a format stored in an array or character variable.
SYNERRNAM	17	F, syntax error in NAMELIST input "text" The syntax of input to a namelist-directed READ statement was incorrect. (The part of the record in which the error was detected is shown as "text" in the message text.)
TOOMANREC	27	F, too many records in I/O statement One of the following conditions occurred: An attempt was made to read or write more than one record with an ENCODE or DECODE statement. An attempt was made to write more records than existed.
TOOMANVAL	18	F, too many values for NAMELIST variable "varname" An attempt was made to assign too many values to a variable during a namelist-directed READ statement. (The name of the variable is shown as "varname" in the message text.)
UNDEXP	82	F, undefined exponentiation An exponentiation that is mathematically undefined was attempted, for example, 0.**0. The result returned for floating-point operations was --0 for VAX-format floating-point and NaN for IEEE-format floating-point. For integer operations, zero is returned.
UNFIO_FMT	256	F, unformatted I/O to unit open for formatted transfers Attempted unformatted I/O to a unit where the OPEN statement indicated the file was formatted (FORM specifier). Check that the correct unit (file) was specified. If the FORM specifier was not specified in the OPEN statement and the file should contain unformatted data, specify FORM= `'` UNFORMATTED `'` in the OPEN statement. Otherwise, if appropriate, use formatted I/O (such as list-directed or namelist I/O).
UNIALROPE	34	F, unit already open A DEFINE FILE statement specified a logical unit that was already opened.
UNLERR	56	F, UNLOCK error RMS detected an error condition during execution of an UNLOCK statement.
VFEVALERR	68	F, variable format expression value error The value of a variable format expression was not within the range acceptable for its intended use; for example, a field width was less than or equal to zero. A value of one was assumed, except for a P edit descriptor, for which a value of zero was assumed.
WRIREAFIL	47	F, write to READONLY file A write operation was attempted to a file that was declared ACTION= `'` READ `'` or READONLY in the OPEN statement that is currently in effect.
WRONUMARG	80	F, wrong number of arguments An improper number of arguments was used to call a math library procedure.
