Adabas Response Codes
4
Explanation The meaning of this response code varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas
on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.
Mainframe Systems
This response code can only occur with a BT or ET command. The BT or ET command
executes successfully. One of the following has occurred, depending on the subcode:
Subcode Meaning
1 Adabas attempted to hold an ISN already being held by another user.
2 The number of ISNs as specified in the ISN buffer was too large
compared to the ISN buffer length (ET or BT command with the M
option).
4 ISN is not on hold during multifetch ET/BT. ET/BT has successfully
executed the ISNs so far released. The remaining ISNs are still on hold.
5 An RI command with ISN=0 could not release from hold status all
records held by the user, as requested, because one or more records had
been updated earlier in the same transaction. Updated records cannot be
released from hold status prior to transaction end. All records that had not
been updated have been released from hold status.
Open Systems
The required function has not been executed completely. For an OP command with
command option 2 = E or for an RE command, the specified record buffer length was
shorter than the length of the ET data read. The record buffer has been truncated.
For an A1//N1/N2 command, a descriptor value with the TR option is larger than 1144
bytes. In this case, only the first 1144 bytes are stored in the index. Search operations
for truncated values may be inexact since only the first 1144 bytes are evaluated. The
first 2 bytes of the Additions 2 field contain the number of descriptor values truncated,
the third and fourth bytes contain the field name of the descriptor value that is
truncated.
For an S1/S2/S4/S9 command, the resulting ISN list may not represent the exact result:
this is because the search values and the values in the database were truncated after
1144 bytes during the search operation of an S1/S2/S4 command and during the sort
operation of an S2/S9 command.
Action The method of resolving the error varies, depending on whether you are using Adabas
on mainframe systems or Adabas on open systems.

Table of Contents
For an OP or RE command, increase the record buffer length or ignore the warning.
For an S1/S2/S4/S9 command, either perform a post-selection using the complete field
values, perform your own sort operation using the complete field values, or ignore the
warning.
