INVALID AREA DEFINITION error [COMMAND ISSUED IS command]

Explanation

error is one of the following:
  • SCREEN SIZE EXCEEDED
  • DISPLAY IN OR ABOVE AREA
  • AREA TOO SMALL
  • TOO MANY AREAS DEFINED

A CONTROL A command requested that the system define or redefine screen areas.

In the message text:
SCREEN SIZE EXCEEDED
The sum of the lengths of the areas defined exceeded the size of the message area on the console for which the definition was requested.
DISPLAY IN OR ABOVE AREA
The error was one of the following:
  • The requested redefinition affects an area with a display in or above it. Any area definition requested while a display is on the screen may differ from the previous definition only in regard to display areas above the area in use.
  • The operator tried to clear the screen of all area definitions with a CONTROL A,NONE, but one of the areas contained a display.
AREA TOO SMALL
An attempt was made to define a display area of less than four lines.
TOO MANY AREAS DEFINED
An attempt was made to define more than 11 display areas on a console; 11 is the maximum number.
COMMAND ISSUED IS command
command is the text of the command that was originally entered.

System action

The system rejects the command.

Operator response

If the error occurred for a CONTROL A,NONE command, erase the display(s). Enter the command again.

If the error occurred for a CONTROL A command other than CONTROL A,NONE, correct the command. Enter it again, if desired.

If the CONTROL command fails again, save the hard-copy log and contact the system programmer.
