* @(#)de 1.1 94/10/31 SMI; * * Messages for delta command of SCCS. * -1 "missing -r argument" You must specify an SID when you are listed more than once in the p-file. -2 "login name or SID specified not in p-file" Either your login name, or the SID you specified, is not listed in the p-file. You probably forgot to do a get -e, or supplied the wrong SID. -3 "invalid sid in p-file" The permissions file (p.file) is damaged. If you have write permission on the directory containing the file, you may be able to remove it. However, if you do, you must also notify all affected users that they must check out their files once again, and restore their pending changes. -4 "diff failed" The diff command, which delta uses to determine what lines changed, did not succeed, and so no changes were checked in. -5 "internal error in delta/enter()" Report this error to your technical support personnel immediately. -6 "internal error in delta/enter()" Report this error to your technical support personnel immediately. -7 "internal error in delta/enter()" Report this error to your technical support personnel immediately. -8 "MRs not allowed" You specified MRs, but the file being processed doesn't allow them. -9 "invalid MRs" The MR validation program returned a non-zero status. This indicates that one or more of the MRs specified are invalid. -10 "MRs required" No MRs were specified, but the file being processed requires them. -11 "cannot fork, try again" Delta could not invoke the diff command for identifying changes to the file. This may be the result of a system problem that may go away, so try again. Repeated attempts continue to fail, contact your system administrator. -12 "cannot execute ..." ... the named program. The program may be unexecutable, or it may have been removed. Contact your system administrator. -13 "... failed, re-trying, segmentation = ..." The named program failed. The most likely cause is that files to be compared by the program are being segmented into chunks that are too large. Therefore, delta re-tries with smaller chunks. (However, the smallest chunk it will try is 500 lines. If this fails, it gives up hope and terminates processing of the SCCS file.) Do a "help de17" for more information. -14 "leading SOH char in line ... of file ... not allowed" The ASCII character SOH (binary 001) is in the first position of a line. This character is not allowed in the first position for any line of text in an SCCS file. However, it may be used if it is escaped. -15 "ambiguous `r' keyletter value" Which delta (SID) do you want to make? Look at the p-file, pick one, and specify it with the -r option. -16 When delta reads arguments from the standard input it will not prompt for comments or MRs, so these values must be supplied with the file argument. -17 Because of the segmentation problem caused by limited system work space, the SCCS file that delta created may occupy an inordinate amount of file space. To reduce the size of the SCCS file, the user may want to remove the delta just created and retry when the system is more lightly loaded (and hopefully more work space is available). If no subsequent delta has been made, the procedure for doing this would be: 1) get -k s.file 2) rmdel -rSID s.file 3) get -e -g s.file 4) delta s.file where, of course, SID and file are specified appropriately. Also steps 1 and 3 may require that you specify a SID, depending on your situation. -18 "line too long" Lines longer than 508 characters (not counting the newline at the end) cannot be handled by SCCS. Shorten the line, possibly by breaking it into two or more lines, and try the "delta" again.
