The following messages are warning level 1 messages. Except for message W1001, these messages appear only when the warning display level is 1 (default) or greater (option -w).

Warning W1001: Maximum warning level is 2 (w option).

A value greater than 2 was specified with the option -w. The valid range for the option -w is 0 ≤w≤ 2.. The warning level is set to 2.

Warning W1002: Maximum information level is 2 (i option).

A value greater than 2 was specified with the -i option. The valid range for the option -i is 0 ≤I ≤ 2. The information level is set to 2.

Warning W1003: 'MASKED' token does not contain a mask definition.

A pattern token that was declared as a masked type does not contain a masking sequence. The token is created as declared. Examine the token to determine whether a fixed declaration is more appropriate.

Warning W1004: Token "text1" does not match message token "text2"

The declared pattern token text text1 does not match the corresponding message token text2 at the declared position. This check is made only for keyword and fixed tokens. The token is created as declared. This problem can arise if either the pattern token text or message text is incorrectly entered, or if the declared token position is incorrect.

Warning W1005: Nearing space limit for 
actions associated with this pattern.

The amount of space required for the actions defined for the pattern is nearing the maximum 64K bytes of space. After this space is used, you will be unable to define additional actions for the pattern.

Warning W1008: Maximum number of patterns is n (s option).

The option -s was specified with a value greater than the allowed maximum. The valid range of the option -s is 0 ≤ s≤ 3264. The estimated number of patterns is set to 3264.

Warning W1009: ’action’ action contains 
read-and-reply response number.

The action text for a command action is a response to a read-and-reply message. Since read-and-reply numbers are hard coded in the action text, the response can answer the wrong read-and-reply message, or the message may not exist.

Warning W1010:  Type 'VARIABLE-LENGTH' ignored 
for nonstandard pattern.

A nonstandard pattern (that is, a pattern with a DELIMITERS command) was defined with a TYPE command that contained the keyword VARIABLE-LENGTH. The keyword VARIABLE-LENGTH overrides the standard pattern total token count check, and is therefore ignored when applied to nonstandard patterns.

Warning W1011: Option 'new-option' overrides 
previous option ’old-option’.

An option was specified more than once, or two different options that control a given function of VADB (for example, the options l and s) were specified on the VADB call line. new-option overrides the previous option.

Warning W1012: Locale 'current-locale' does not match 
the database locale 'db-locale'.

The locales are compatible but different. current-locale is the current value of the variable LANG and db-locale is the locale stored in the database (the first 20 characters of the value set by the LANG variable when the database was created).

W1015: Database is not an SP-AMS database; 
host-id (-h) option ignored.

This message is displayed when an -h option is specified on the VADB call line and the database is either a CP-AMS database or a SMART AMS database.

Warning W1202: 'DESTROY' of non-existent member ignored.

A DESTROY action specified a target variable group member that did not exist. No action was taken.

Warning W1203: Member created.

A SET or RESET action specified a target variable group member that did not exist and VADB automatically created the variable group member before setting it to the appropriate value.

Warning W1204: Variable group member already exists.

A CREATE action specified a target variable group member that already existed. No action was taken.

Warning W1205: Variable group member does not exist.

An action text string contained a reference to a variable group member that did not exist and the action is for a pattern other than the first matching pattern. This may or may not indicate a problem, since only the variable actions from the first matching pattern are executed.
