IDEAlink V2.00 Error Codes

Should problems occur during file transfer, the following error numbers
appear on your screen and are stored in the error log IDEALINK.LOG.

File Transfer

2000    Microcode not running
TWINAX is not running.  Start TWINAX emulation, then hot key to DOS and
start IDEAlink.

2001    Download failed
IDEAlink was unable to download (Read) data from the host.  Check the
values in your file specification and retry.  If this error occurs with a
Lotus Symphony file, be sure that the last record (Row) ends with a
non-null field (Column).

2002    EBCDIC to ASCII conversion failed
Most likely the wrong data Format Type was specified on a download.  The
EBCDIC to ASCII table might be missing or corrupted.  Recopy all the files
from your IDEAcomm diskettes and retry.

2003    Not on a log-on screen
You are in emulation, but IDEAlink did not find the sign-on string
specified in SIGNON.DAT.  Check that you specified the correct host system,
and check the strings, and their row/column offsets in SIGNON.DAT.

2004    Field not found
A field filled in on the IDEAlink log-on screen does not exist on the host,
or you do not have access rights to it. Check your view definition against
the host file definition.  For a library member, the library member set may
be full:  contact host operations.

2005    No ID field
The log-on information includes an ID, but the host does not expect this
information.  Recheck the log-on information needed by the host.

2006    No password field
The log-on information includes a password, but the host does not expect
this information.  Recheck the log-on information needed by the host.

2007    No user menu field
The log-on information includes a user menu, but the host does not expect
this information.  Recheck the log-on information needed by the host.

2008    No library field
The log-on information includes a user library, but the host does not
expect this information.  Recheck the log-on information needed by the
host.

2009    No procedure field
The log-on information includes a procedure, but the host does not expect
this information.  Recheck the log-on information needed by the host.

2010    Time-out
The PC waited too long for data from the host,  usually because Input
Inhibit was on too long on the host.  Hot key to emulation and then press
the emulated Reset key.

2011    Wait failed
The PC waited too long for data from the host.  Usually this is because
Input Inhibit was on too long on the host.  Retry, then notify the host
operator.

2012    Still on log-on screen
The log-on information supplied may have lacked a user ID or password, or
an error such as wrong password may have caused the cursor to remain on the
log-on screen.  Check the log-on information needed by the host and retry.

2013    Input inhibit on after time-out
At log-on, hot key to the host to see if you have a message.  Respond to it
(usually with the emulated Reset key) and hot key back to IDEAlink.  Then
press Esc and select Skip Log On.  Otherwise, probably an error has
occurred on the host, requiring a Reset.  Check the log-on information
required by the host and retry.

2016    Already at sign-on screen (log-off)
You selected Host Logoff, but you are already logged off the host.  No
action is necessary.
