Recovery program error messages

Error status initializing file manager

recover1 was unable to initialize the RM/COBOL file management system for the reason indicated by status. The usual cause for this error is that a buffer pool has been configured that is too large to be allocated. See the BUFFER-POOL-SIZE keyword of the RUN-FILES-ATTR configuration record for instructions on changing the buffer pool size.

Truncate option not supported

recover1 detected that the truncated function was not supported on the system when the user requested file truncation. Truncation of the file is not possible.

recovery terminating - no records recoverable!

recover1 detected corruption in the indexed file and no records could be recovered. In this case, recover1 terminates at the end of the integrity scan to protect the user from erroneously deleting all the records from the file. This error may indicate that the block size, the block size increment, or the number of keys that allow duplicates has been incorrectly specified, or the KIB may be corrupt.

Error status on template file

recover1 was unable to initialize the RM/COBOL file management system for the reason indicated by status. The usual cause for this error is that a buffer pool has been configured that is too large to be allocated. See the BUFFER-POOL-SIZE keyword of the RUN-FILES-ATTR configuration record for instructions on changing the buffer pool size. recover 1 detected an error in the KIB of the template file specified by the user. The user may enter another template file, may enter the KIB information manually, or may enter a Ctrl- C to terminate recover 1.

Cannot write near end of file - check "ulimit"

recover1 detected that blocks near the end of the file can be read but not written, but other blocks of the file may be both read and written. This error may indicate that the operating system file size limit (ulimit) may be smaller than the size of the file. Set the file size limit correctly or use an account with sufficient privileges and run recover1 again.
