  • The string may be parsed incorrectly by utility CTOFANCI.

System Action: Utility CTOFANCI continues processing.

User Response: Check the indicated output rule to determine if utility CTOFANCI correctly parsed the text. If the parsing was incorrect, manually adjust the rule as necessary.

CTOF38W M=member D=dsid L=line ---- MORE WARNINGS FOR MEMBER WERE SUPPRESSED ----

Explanation: Warning messages were suppressed for the specified input member or rule.

  • The user specified the maximum number of warning messages to display for input members (using parameter MEMWARNLIM). More than this specified maximum number of warning messages were generated while processing the member indicated in this message.

System Action: Utility CTOFANCI suppresses the additional messages, and continues processing.

User Response: If you are either uninterested in the additional warnings (for example, because you are aware of the problems they describe), or if you are satisfied with the actual results of the conversion (the output rule), then no action is needed.

  • Otherwise, increase the value specified for MEMWARNLIM and rerun or restart the utility.

CTOF39E M=member D=dsid L=line UNABLE TO PARSE TEXT text - LINE ACCEPTED

  • This error message indicates that the specified input string could not be handled by the utility for an unspecified reason.

System Action: Utility CTOFANCI continues processing.

User Response: Check the indicated output rule to determine if utility CTOFANCI correctly parsed the text. If the parsing was incorrect, manually adjust the rule as necessary.

  • In addition, report the problem to your BMC Customer support representative. Attach a copy of the input script and the output messages in the RPTALL report.

CTOF40I REACHED MEMBER-COUNT LIMIT (number) PROCESSING STOPPED

Explanation: This information message indicates that the CTOFANCI utility completed processing a specified maximum number of input members or rules.

  • Use parameter STOPAFTER to specify the maximum number of input members or rules that must be processed by the current run of the utility.

System Action: Utility CTOFANCI stops execution.

User Response: Review the reports and rules produced by this run of the utility. If necessary, determine which selected input datasets and members were not processed, and restart the utility from the first dataset and/or member that was not processed in this run.

CTOF41E PREFIX duppref=prefix IS INVALID. MEMBER NAME member HAS A NON-NUMERIC SUFFIX

Explanation: The utility was not able to generate duplicate member names (for example, @DUP0001, @DUP0002) because members whose name begins with the same prefix were found in the output library with a suffix that is not entirely numeric; for example, @DUP9PLX.

  • When the first duplicate member name is detected, utility CTOFANCI checks the output library for members with the specified duplicate member name prefix. The utility uses this information to determine the number to append to the first duplicate member name assigned during the current run.

  • If a member with the duplicate name prefix exists with a non-numeric suffix, the utility may be unable to calculate the number to assign to the first duplicate member detected during this run.

System Action: Utility CTOFANCI stops execution.

User Response: Check the names of members in the output library and do one of the following:

  • Rename or remove the problematic members in the output library.

  • Specify a different value for parameter DUPPREF of utility CTOFANCI.

CTOF42E DUPLICATE-MEMBER SUFFIX LIMIT EXCEEDED – number

Explanation: Utility CTOFANCI exceeded the maximum number that can be appended to a duplicate-member name.

  • The highest number that can be added to the duplicate-member prefix is 9999.

The CTOFANCI utility searches for duplicate-member name with the highest number appended to it in the output library, to determine which number to assign to the first duplicate-member name in the current run of the utility. For example, if member @DUP9995 existed in the output library before the beginning of the current run, a maximum of four duplicate-member names can be assigned in this library during this run of the utility.

System Action: Utility CTOFANCI stops execution.

User Response: Check the member names in the output library.

  • If the problem was caused by an unexpected member with the duplicate-member prefix and a high number (for example, there was a single member in the output library named @DUP9995), delete or rename the offending member.

  • If the cause of the problem was that the permitted number of members with duplicate names was exceeded, specify a different value for parameter DUPPREF and restart utility CTOFANCI from the next selected dataset or member.

  • If a large number of duplicate-member names were assigned, it may be preferable to rerun utility CTOFANCI with a more elaborate pattern specified for output member names (parameter OUTMEMNAME).

CTOF43W INPUT FILE IS EMPTY D=dsn

Explanation: The specified input dataset contains no members.

System Action: Utility CTOFANCI continues processing with the next selected input dataset.

User Response: Verify that the input datasets indicated using the INCLUDE statements are correctly specified.

CTOF45W M=member D=dsid [L=line] inparm = "invalue" Æouttext

Explanation: The specified input data was only partially converted to Control-O parameters.

  • outtext is a string that shows how the input data was translated.

  • Certain features of other console automation programs are converted in ways that are not identical to the input script. For example, a minute is the smallest unit of time that can be specified in a Control-O rule. If the input script specifies the time 00:00:30 (30 seconds after midnight), the time specified in the output Control-O rule is 00:00 (midnight).

System Action: Utility CTOFANCI continues processing.

User Response: Determine how the input data was converted. If necessary, adjust the output rule manually.

CTOF46W M=member D=dsid [L=line] input_parm = "input_value" NOT TRANSLATED

Explanation: The specified input data could not be automatically converted to Control-O parameters by utility CTOFANCI.

  • The specified data indicates an input parameter or keyword that is not yet supported by utility CTOFANCI. For example, execution of rules on specific dates is controlled in Control-O by calendars. The utility does not generate calendars automatically. If the input script specifies an explicit execution date, the resulting rule does not contain this date reference.

System Action: Utility CTOFANCI continues processing.

User Response: Determine how the input data was converted. If necessary adjust the output rule manually.

CTOF47W M=member D=dsid [L=line] input_parm = "input_value" NOT RECOGNIZED

Explanation: The specified input data could not be interpreted by utility CTOFANCI.

  • This problem can occur for either one of the following conditions:

  • The input script contains an error (for example, date specified as 10/10/xx)

  • The input rule contains complex logic not supported by utility CTOFANCI.

System Action: Utility CTOFANCI continues processing.

User Response: Determine how the input data was converted. If necessary adjust the output rule manually.

CTOF90I PROCESSING COMPLETE timemsg

Explanation: This information message indicates that the CTOFANCI utility completed its processing normally.
