The following messages are issued by the command parser for input parameters and commands. The command parser is a common component that issues messages on behalf of the following:
The command being processed is either unknown or the abbreviation is not unique. The command is the first word within the input string.
The command is not processed.
Correct the command and retry.
Console (communication server), message log (batch request utility), or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.
The last non-blank character in a parameter value string is not a right parenthesis.
The command is not processed.
Each parameter value string must be enclosed in parentheses. Correct the input string and retry.
Console (communication server), message log (batch request utility), or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.
The input string being processed contains a command or parameter that is longer than the maximum of 16 characters. The offset value indicates the position of the field that is in error within the input string.
The command is not processed.
Correct the input string and retry.
Console (communication server), message log (batch request utility), or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.
The command processor cannot find the end of a parameter in an input string. The relative offset value indicates the position of the parameter that is in error.
The command is not processed.
Correct the input string and retry.
Console (communication server), message log (batch request utility), or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.
The command parser cannot identify the parameter. The offset value indicates the location of the unidentified parameter.
The command is not processed.
Correct the input string and retry.
Console (communication server), message log (batch request utility), or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.
The command parser has detected that an operand is the wrong length for the parameter with which it is associated. This means it could be either too long or, in some cases, too short. The offset value indicates the position of the invalid value.
The command is not processed.
Correct the operand and retry.
Console (communication server), message log (batch request utility), or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.
While parsing an input string, the parser was expecting the separator character (comma), but it found a different character. The offset value indicates the position of the unexpected character.
The command is not processed.
Correct the input string and retry.
Console (communication server), message log (batch request utility), or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.
The parser has found an invalid character in an operand field in an input string. The offset value indicates the position of the invalid character.
The command is not processed.
Correct the operand and retry.
Console (communication server), message log (batch request utility), or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.
The operand value for the CICSSTARTMODE parameter is invalid. The valid values are SET and UPDATE. The offset value indicates the position of the invalid operand.
The command is not processed.
Correct the operand and retry.
Console or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.
The parser has found an invalid numeric operand for the parameter keyword. For example, the operand value might be too high, too low, or contain non-numeric characters. The offset value indicates the position of the invalid operand.
The command is not processed.
Correct the numeric operand and retry.
Console (communication server), message log (batch request utility), or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.
The length of the command in the input string is too long. The maximum length of a valid command is 16 characters. The offset value indicates the position of the command in error.
The command is not processed.
Correct the input string and retry.
Console (communication server), message log (batch request utility), or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.
There is a non-unique parameter in an input command, which means that it could be an abbreviation for more than one paraemter. The offset value indicates the position of the non-unique parameter.
The command is not processed.
Re-enter the command, ensuring that the parameter in error is a unique abbreviation.
Console (communication server), message log (batch request utility), or 3270 terminal issuing the CICS BAC transaction.
The command being processed contains both the keyword1 and keyword2 parameters. These two parameters are mutually exclusive for this command.
The command is not processed.
Remove the redundant parameter from the command and retry.
Message log
The operand value for the OPENSTATUS parameter is invalid. The valid values are OPEN and CLOSED. The offset value indicates the position of the invalid operand.
The batch request utility rejects the command.
Re-enter the command with a valid operand on the OPENSTATUS parameter.
Message log
The operand value for the ENABLESTATUS parameter is invalid. The valid values are ENABLE and DISABLE. The offset value indicates the position of the invalid operand.
The command is not processed.
Re-enter the command with a valid operand on the ENABLESTATUS parameter.
Message log
The operand value for the keyword parameter is invalid. The valid values are YES and NO. The offset value indicates the position of the invalid operand.
The command is not processed.
Re-enter the command with a valid operand on the parameter keyword.
Message log
The operand value specified on the DSN parameter is invalid. The valid values are PRIMARY and ALTERNATE. The offset value indicates the position of the invalid operand.
The command is not processed.
Re-enter the command with a valid operand on the DSN parameter.
Message log
You have specified a SET object command that does not contain either the OPENSTATUS or the ENABLESTATUS parameter, and at least one of these is required on a SET object command.
The command is not processed.
Re-enter the command with at least one of the OPENSTATUS or ENABLESTATUS parameters to the command.
Message log
You have specified a SET object command without the required keyword.
The command is not processed.
Add the required parameter to the command and retry.
Message log
The operand value for the DISPOSITION parameter is invalid. The valid values are SHR and OLD. The offset value indicates the position of the invalid operand
The command is not processed.
Re-enter the command with either SHR or OLD on the DISPOSITION parameter.
Message log
The SET command read by the batch request utility does not contain a valid object. The valid object parameters are FILE, TDQUEUE, TRANSID, PROGRAM, GROUP, and LIST.
The command is not processed.
Add the required object parameter to the command and retry.
Message log
The batch request utility is processing a command that does not specify a CICS applid, and the utility does not have a default applid either. This could be because the most recent DEFAULT command did not specify the CICS parameter, un-setting one that was defined earlier. The CICS parameter is needed, either on the command itself, or as a previously specified default value, to determine which CICS region to send the request to.
The command is not processed.
Add the CICS parameter to either the current command, the most recent DEFAULT command or to a new DEFAULT command and retry.
Message log
The first field in the input string is not a command, that is, it is in parameter format instead of command format. Parameter format means that the field is followed immediately, in the next character position, by an operand enclosed in parentheses. In command format the first field is followed by a blank.
The command is not processed.
Correct the command syntax to specify a command name in the first field and retry.
Message log
The first field in the input string, denoted by field, is not the name of a valid command. The valid command names are DEFAULT, LINK, RUNCEMT, SET and START.
The command is not processed.
Specify a valid command in the first field of the statement and retry.
Message log
The parameter keyword is specified more than once in the current statement. The offset value indicates the position of the second occurrence.
The command is not processed.
Remove the duplicate parameter and retry.
Message log
The NOTACTIVE operand value is invalid. The valid values for NOTACTIVE are CONTINUE and TERMINATE. The offset value indicates the position of the invalid operand.
The command is not processed.
Specify CONTINUE or TERMINATE on the NOTACTIVE parameter and retry.
Message log
The command contains keyword2 but not keyword1. You must specify keyword1 parameter if you specify keyword2 .
The command is not processed.
Either remove the keyword2 parameter or add the keyword1 parameter and retry.
Message log
The command does not contain keyword , which is a required parameter for the command command.
The command is not processed.
Add the required parameter to the command and retry.
Message log
The closing parenthesis is not present at the end of the operand for keyword. Instead, the parser has reached the end of the command string
The command is not processed.
This is probably because your command statement does not have the correct number of opening and closing parentheses within the operand value. You can nest open and close parentheses within an operand value, but each open parenthesis must be matched with a closing parenthesis. Check that the number of close parentheses matches the number of open parentheses for the operand.
