Messages

Each of the applications within the IRE displays messages from time to time to aid you in the operations you are trying to perform. Messages are generally the result of an illegal operation, that is, an operation where an application limit has been reached. A message may also appear for informational purposes..

Error Messages
The following messages result from an illegal operation.
 
A problem occurred trying to decode the resource information. 'filename' might not be a valid OS/2 resource file.
When importing a resource file that you have specified as an OS/2 resource, a problem occurred during the decoding of the information. Check to make sure that the file you specified is a true OS/2 binary resource file.
 
A problem occurred trying to decode the resource information. 'filename' might not be a valid Windows 3.1 resource file.
When importing a resource file that you have specified as a Windows 3.1 resource, a problem occurred during the decoding of the information. Check to make sure that the file you specified is a true Windows 3.1 binary resource file.
 
A problem occurred trying to decode the resource information. 'filename' might not be a valid Windows NT resource file.
When importing a resource file that you have specified as a Windows NT resource, a problem occurred during the decoding of the information. Check to make sure that the file that you specified is a true Windows NT binary resource file.
 
Accelerator table specified for window but no accelerators defined!
The window you have created specified the association of an accelerator table, but you have not defined any accelerators. The application will not run without a properly defined accelerator table. Therefore, either remove the accelerator-table association in the Window/Dialog Styles dialog box or add an accelerator.
 
Action Bar menu must be selected!
To relate a menu item to its parent, you must select the action-bar item that the menu item belongs to.
 
Another control using ID symbol!
Within the dialog box or window you are working on, another control is using the ID symbol that you entered or selected. For proper referencing of the controls, each control should have a unique ID symbol and value unless the control is a non-interactive control, such as static text, group boxes, bitmaps, or icons.
 
Another control using ID value!
Within the dialog box or window you are working on, another control is using the ID value that you entered. For proper referencing of the controls, each control should have a unique ID value unless the control is a non-interactive control such as static text, group boxes, bitmaps, or icons.
 
Association name must be entered!
When defining an association-table item, you must provide an association name.
 
Basename must be entered!
When creating a new design, you must enter the base name under which the design will be known.
 
Cannot find :euserdoc. within IPF file.
During the scanning phase of the IPF file save, the :euserdoc. tag could not be found. This tag is used to mark the end of the IPF file and the location where missing help panels are to be placed. The missing panel information will not be written because the tag is missing and the file could be corrupted.
 
Cannot find notebook page parent 'id'. Converting to normal dialog box.
The notebook-page parent could not be found, thereby allowing the notebook page to be properly sized. Because the parent is missing, the notebook page is automatically converted to a dialog box without any control information being lost.
 
Cannot load required Integrated Resource Editor DLL 'filename.DLL' Exiting Integrated Resource Editor
A dynamic-link library (DLL) required by the IRE could not be opened. You should locate the required DLL on the distribution diskettes or CD-ROM and copy it to the directory containing your other DLLs.
 
Cannot select disabled type!! Select only a valid type.
One of the disabled (halftone) images within the New Dialog/Window dialog was selected. Since the item is halftone, it is not available as an option. You must select an item that is not halftone.
 
Class name must be entered!
You must enter the class name for the user-defined temporary control that you are creating. Because these controls are not part of the Presentation Manager, the name must be registered just like a window is, if the control is to be created properly.
 
Could not create .DFM file.
An error occurred in trying to save the .DFM file. You should check to make sure that there is enough room on your disk to save the information.
 
Could not create pop-up menu window!
An error occurred in trying to create the pop-up menu window. You should check to make sure that you are not running too many applications that require a great number of Presentation Manager resources.
 
Could not find Block End in 'filename'!
When trying to analyze the existing file to determine any differences between the information contained in memory and the file, IRE determined that the file contained an imbalance with the set of braces ({}) or BEGIN and END statements. Because of this imbalance, the IRE does not attempt to generate any further resource script statements.
 
Could not load pop-up menu template!
An error occurred in trying to load the pop-up menu template from one of the IRE resource DLLs. Make sure that the LIBPATH variable contains the path to the DLLs of the IRE.
 
Could not open dialog font metrics file: 'filename'
The selected .DFM file could not be opened. Check to make sure that it is present and that it is not a sharing violation.

CUA Non-Compliance: Second word starts with capital in 'control' text!
IBM CUA requirements state that only the first word of a control should be capitalized unless it is a proper noun. You can click on the Cancel or the OK push buttons. The control can be a button, group box, static text, action bar, or submenu.
 
CUA Non-Compliance: Space between Push Button text and ellipsis (...)!
IBM CUA requirements state that push buttons which invoke another dialog box should use the ellipsis (...) denotation and contain no spaces between the push-button text and the ellipsis. You can click on the Cancel or the OK push buttons.
 
Description must be completed.
To be compatible with the design library, the description of the window or dialog box being created or edited must be entered. Because the design library allows similar IDs to be used for a designed window or dialog box, the description is used to select the desired window or dialog box.
 
Design file requested is for a later version of the Integrated Resource Editor! This version of the Integrated Resource Editor is not compatible with the design file and cannot read it!
You have attempted to read a later version design file into the IRE and cannot. Use the correct version of the IRE or edit the design file.

Duplicate filename entered!
When entering or editing a file name, make sure that the correct path and file name are being used.
 
Dynamic-Link Library not found!
When entering or editing the name of a custom control library, make sure that the correct path and file name are being used. You cannot register the control library with IRE if it cannot find the actual DLL.
 
Edit information limit reached! Save project design to reset list.
The internal limit for deletion edit information has been reached. The list size is 8128 items. You must save the current design information to clear the list for reuse.
 
Error saving design file 'filename'. File has been saved as temporary file 'tempfile'.
An error was detected while saving the current design file. The original design file is still intact, with the new design information saved to the temporary file denoted in the message. The error is consistent; you might be requested to submit the file to your technical service representative.
 
Example control creation failed!
The example control could not be created for some reason. If the control is part of a PMCX library that you have constructed, check to make sure that the control is operating properly.
 
Example too large to show!
The values you entered for the default size of the control are too large to be displayed in the example area. The IRE fits the control into the example area to allow you to view it, but will use the actual, defined default size when creating the control when you add it to a window or dialog box.
 
'filename.DLL' could not be loaded.
The PMCX dynamic-link library that you have selected was not found or it was damaged. Check the IRE Configuration dialog box and ensure that the correct path for the custom control was entered.
 
filename not saved completely because number of bytes to write does not equal that written!
An error was detected while saving the design file. The number of bytes that was supposed to be written does not equal the number of bytes that the file system has reported writing. If the problem is persistent, you might want to submit the problem design file and report the circumstances to your technical service representative.
 
'filename' not saved completely since number of bytes to write does not equal that written!!
During the write of a file, it was determined that the amount of data that was to be written to disk did not equal the actual amount written. There may be a problem in writing to the disk. You may want to try saving the file to a different drive if possible.
 
'filename' is read only! Cannot save the design.
You have attempted to save a design file that is marked read-only. Change the read-only status of the design file before trying to save the it again. Alternately, you can save the design file under a different name.
 
'filename' not saved completely because 'Drive X:' is full!
An error was detected while writing the design file. A check by the file-save routines has determined that the problem might be caused by insufficient room remaining on the drive where the file was to be saved. If this is the case, try making room on the drive, or save the file to another drive.
 
'function' function not found in 'filename' DLL.
The function in the PMCX dynamic-link library that you have selected was not found. If you created the PMCX library yourself, make sure that the function was exported through the definitions file. If the function is from a vendor, contact the vendor directly to report the problem.

Include symbol limit reached. Cannot add new include symbol
The total number of include symbols (including the predefined OS/2 symbols used within the IRE) is 10240.
 
Internal Error: URE1010: NULL String
An internal error has been detected within the IRE. This is the result of a string being recorded and its pointer somehow ending up as a NULL pointer. Please save the resulting temporary file and report the error to your technical service representative.
 
Invalid ID symbol!
The ID symbol that you have entered contains an invalid character. The only valid characters are:
  1. a-z
  2. A-Z
  3. 0-9
  4. _

COMMON ERROR MESSAGES
The following are common error messages.
 
'filename' invalid filename. Must be 8.3 format.
The filename you have entered is not a valid DOS (FAT) file-system name. If you are using the traditional FAT system, you will not be able to use long file names. Long file names can be used only when the drive you are on has been formatted for the High Performance File System (HPFS).
 
Access to file 'filename' denied by OS/2 file system.
The OS/2 file system would not allow access to the file in question.
 
Disk Full.
The disk you are saving files to is full. You can either try saving to another disk or remove files from the current one.
 
Disk write protected.
You are saving to a diskette and have forgotten to remove the protection tab or, in the case of 3.5-inch diskettes, placed the slider into protect position. Remove the disk-protect tab or place the slider back to the normal position and try saving again.
 
Error: Unexpected OS/2 error x.
If you receive this error, please report it to technical support representative.
 
Invalid Drive.
The drive that you are trying to save to does exist on your system. Make sure that you are entering the proper drive designation when giving the full path and filename. If you are saving to a known drive (for example, drive C:), you might have hardware problems.
 
Locking violation on file 'filename'.
An IRE application was trying to save the file filename at the same time another application had access to it. Because the IRE application did not have rights to the file, it could not save to it.
 
Not an OS/2 or DOS disk.
The disk you are trying to save to is not an OS/2- or DOS-compatible disk. It is either unformatted or has been formatted for another system. Check the drive designation and try saving the file to a known OS/2 or DOS disk.
 
Read Fault.
This is generally a hardware error. If it persists, have your system checked.
 
Sharing violation on 'filename'.
An IRE application was trying to save a file at the same time another application had access to the file. Because the IRE application did not have rights to the file, it could not save to it.
