- Warnings
- Already logging (W8)
- You started a new log file when you were already
- logging.
- MacDOS closes the old file and opens the new one.
- Suggested actions:
- • You can avoid this message by first closing the
- current log file with the command LOG without
- parameters.
-
- Argument[s] not expected (W7)
- You passed parameters to a command which accepts none.
- This warning is used when the execution of the command
- is not likely to have dangerous consequences.
- Generally, this mistake causes the abortion of the
- command and is reported as an error rather than a
- warning.
- MacDOS ignores the parameter[s] and executes the
- command.
- Suggested actions:
- • Get rid of the parameters. Currently, only the
- commands PAUSE and SHIFT cause this warning message
- to be displayed.
-
- DOS switch not implemented (W1)
- You typed a switch used by DOS but not implemented in
- MacDOS. MacDOS ignores the switch[es] and executes the
- command.
- Suggested actions:
- • Check the list of available switches and stop using
- switches which are not implemented. You can also
- type alarm on and then repeat the command. MacDOS
- will then display the offending switch in the alert
- box used to report the warning.
-
- Empty label (ie. colon not followed by a label name) (W6)
- You typed a colon (ie. the character ':') on its own in
- a line of the batch program you are running.
- MacDOS ignores the line.
- Suggested actions:
- • Remove the offending line from the batch file.
-
- File not open (W4)
- MacDOS attempted to close a disk file which was not
- currently open.
- Suggested actions:
- • This situation should never occur, as MacDOS should
- never close twice the same file or attempt to close
- a file which was never opened. Please try to
- reproduce the situation and, if you succeed, inform
- Rainbow Hill.
-
- Illegal redirection (W5)
- You redirected the input or the output of a command
- which should not be redirected.
- MacDOS ignores the redirection and executes the
- command.
- Suggested actions:
- • Do not redirect the I/O of commands which do not
- support it. Refer to Redirection and Piping in the
- section "The Environment" of this User's Guide for
- the list of commands which accept redirection.
-
- MacDOS warning ... (the dots are here used to indicate a
- number)
- A warning which provides a code instead of a message in
- clear should never occur. The simplest explanation is
- that the resource containing all warning messages was
- not updated when the new code was introduced.
- Suggested actions:
- • Please report this occurrence to Rainbow Hill. Try
- to provide as much information as possible about the
- circumstances.
-
- Not currently logging (W9)
- You typed the command LOG without parameters while you
- were not logging.
- Suggested actions:
- • If you want to log, you have to type the command LOG
- followed by the name of the log file you want to
- open.
-
- Request ignored (W3)
- You tried to perform a mouse or menu operation which is
- not legal.
- Suggested actions:
- • Currently, this warning message is only displayed
- when you try to cut or copy particular portions of
- the console window. Type the command alarm on and
- repeat the offending operation to have a more
- explicit error message.
-
- Sorting problem (W2)
- When executing a DIR command, MacDOS attempted to
- perform a sort of a type not implemented.
- The sorting is not performed.
- Suggested actions:
- • This situation should never occur, as MacDOS filters
- sorting options before attempting to execute them.
- Please, inform Rainbow Hill of the command which
- caused the problem.
-
- Text line truncated (W10)
- MacDOS has attempted to display a line which exceeds
- 255 characters in length.
- Only the first 255 characters are displayed by MacDOS.
- Suggested actions:
- • You are probably listing a file with the command
- TYPE. If you can, edit the file and break the
- offending line into two.
