Messages prefixed with APS-EXP are generated by the APS export system. The messages are listed below in numeric sequence.
Internal APS copyright marker for APS load modules.
This message is displayed when using the K, or KK line command and all changes or line additions are correct when passed back to the Program Painter.
Continue.
This message is displayed when using the J line command and the new lines that have been entered and passed back to the Program Painter are correct.
Continue.
No errors were encountered in code.
Continue. Check warnings.
Errors were encountered in code.
Correct errors and generate again.
No screen was assigned to the online program through the Application Painter.
Assign a new or existing screen to the program.
This message occurs when importing a screen without the replace option and a screen already exists.
This is a confirmation that the old screen is left untouched. Alternatively, specify the replace parameter to overlay the old screen.
Screen was created from a hardcopy.
Continue.
SYSMSG was specified without a row number. Default is the last row (varies due to screen size selected, i.e., MOD 2, 3, or 4).
If user wants SYSMSG on a different row, specify the row number explicitly.
An ENTER COBOL statement was encountered without a corresponding ENTER S-COBOL.
Make sure the omission of the ENTER S-COBOL statement was intentional because all statements after the ENTER COBOL will be passed through the precompiler as is.
S9 is valid COBOL and will not be translated.
If PIC S(9) is desired, enter S(9).
A9 is valid COBOL and will not be translated.
If PIC A(9) is desired, enter A(9).
X9 is valid COBOL and will not be translated.
If PIC X(9) is desired, enter X(9).
N9 is valid COBOL and will not be translated.
If PIC 9(9) is desired, enter N(9).
If PROC keyword was used, the option was changed to Programmer mode.
Make sure NTRY was not wanted.
No screen was assigned to the online program on the Application Painter.
Assign new or existing screen to program.
If you enter one or more data names at the same indentation level as the previous 01-level data name, APS generates 01-level numbers for them. If you expect 05 level data names to be generated, indent them four spaces. If multiple 01 levels are desired, ignore this message.
Check indentation for proper level to be generated.
You defined the subschema or PSB twice: once in the Application Painter and again in the program by coding $DB-SUBSCHEMA or $IM-PSB call. Normally, you need only to define the subschema PSB in the Application Painter. A $DB-SUBSCHEMA or $IM-PSB call overrides the subschema or PSB defined in the Application Painter.
Ensure that the $DB-SUBSCHEMA or $IM-PSB call in the Program Painter is correct. If the subschema or PSB defined in the Application Painter is correct, delete the $DB-SUBSCHEMA or $IM-PSB call in the program.
Multiple $DB-SUBSCHEMA calls were coded in the Program Painter. Only the first one encountered is used; all others are ignored.
Make sure that the first call is correct and delete the other(s).
Multiple $IM-PSB calls were coded in the Program Painter. Only the first one encountered is used; all others are ignored.
Make sure that the first call is correct and delete the other(s).
This message is produced when the user performs a CONVERT command on a data structure that resembles the following:
WS-NAME-1 X5 WS-NAME-2 92 WS-NAME-3 X
Note that the third data item begins one column to the left of the previous items. The misaligned item may be one or more columns out of alignment.

Check the row and column operands if specified, or make sure that invoked defaults don't overlay repeated blocks.
User attempted to specify a SYSMSG (explicitly or by default) which overlaps background text.
Check the row and column operands if specified, or make sure that invoked defaults don't overlay background text.
APS generates each ampersand character (&) as two ampersands. You have not allowed for the extra spaces needed for generated ampersands. Maximum line length: 80 characters.
