Error Messages with Numbers

17.4.1 File does not exist (error 1)

• The file pc/MRP is trying to find does not exist. This often occurs if you have selected a custom printout that does not exist instead of a standard printout. If you are running the audit BOM program and the missing file is BOMUPD.MEM, run the cost roll up option in inventory to generate a new BOMUPD.MEM. If you are trying to enter or edit the address logbook and get this error msg you have deleted a file named BLKEDIT.WRI and must restore this file to the pcmrpw directory. Another file often deleted is BOMTEMP.DBF. This file is necessary to print out BOMs and can be restored from a backup.
• This error may also occur, if you have activated Audit Trail Module, with pc/MRP V6.53P, and are trying to edit a chart of accounts record. Call Software Arts for an upgrade to 6.54I or higher.
• pcmrpw.exe file is broken or corrupt, copy in a recent (same version) pcmrpw.exe file from a backup copy or pcmrpupd directory.
• Name of .FXP file that is causing the error msg starts with FIND indicating pc/MRP cannot find an index file. Re-index the data base that pc/MRP is working or use pc/MRP's Configuration Module and run the re-index all files option.
• pc/MRP's config.mem file may contain extra variables or invalid variables such as local.mem or an invalid drive reference. Contact Software Arts for a copy of the program CLRCONFG.EXE. Run CLRCONFG.EXE from Windows Explorer to clean up your config.mem file before you perform the update.
• If the error is "CLEANPATH DOES NOT EXIST," a library was not loaded or is corrupt. Reboot your computer and start again.
• If the error is because of a missing .fxp or .prg file, reboot the computer. If that does not work, restore the pcmrpw.exe from a backup.
• If you are deleting an address id, answer Y to change everywhere and have not activated the infinite bucket module, and have pc/MRP version 6.80as and lower, pc/MRP cannot locate an action index. Update to the latest version of 6.80. If you have version 7.00, call Software Arts to walk you through entering following command line instructions:
• do checkdbf with "action.dbf"
• msg = "ACTION"
• do re-index

17.4.3 File in use (error 3)

• This error exists in versions 6.49BK to 6.54I. This error happens when the user try to invoice with inventory adjustment method set to P (Parts). To correct, call Software Arts for update. For temporary fix, set inventory adjustment to A (Assemblies).
• Two users have logged in with the same name or no name and are printing or displaying a BOM. Logging in with the same name or no name causes both users to use the same temporary BOM file.
• Earlier versions of 6.73, 6.74 and 6.75 would leave the purchase dbf file open after printing out a receiver. Download a manual update to version 6.73U, 6.74J or 6.75B or higher.
• If this error occurs while closing the month, re-close the month and be sure to select the last two GL reports to print or display. You can also update to 6.80AA or higher.
• If you are the one who caused the file in use error message, returning to the "Main Menu" will close the file and fix the problem.

17.4.4 End of file encountered (error 4)

Re-index the related data base file(s)

17.4.5 Record out of range (error 5)

• Index file that pc/MRP is trying to use needs to be re-indexed. Go to pc/MRP's Configuration Menu and select "Re-index all files".
• The index file may be broken in such a manner that re-indexing does not help. In that case, the index file must be deleted. Call Software Arts for help in determining the name of the .idx file to delete. (suspend with tag() in debug window)
• This error message can occur if you have an apostrophe or quote character(s) in your part number.

17.4.7 File you are attempting to rename already exists. (error 7)

Data has been added to a pc/MRP dbf file from another program such as EXCEL causing numeric overflow in one of the fields in that file. Use option 41 in the settings and utilities to zero out the overflow. Users can also use dBASE or FoxPro 'replace' command to load valid values into that field.

17.4.41 Invalid or missing memo file (Error 41)

• Memo file (.dbt file) is missing or invalid. If it is missing, call Software Arts to restore the associated dbf and .dbt files from the backup (rename dbf and .dbt file, use renamed file, copy to rig file name type foxplus, use and re-index). If it is not missing and you have Versions 6.80m or higher, or 6.82g or higher you can determine the corrupt file by pressing CTRL F10. This opens a .txt file. Here search for the "Currently Selected Table." The .dbf file listed directly under this heading is the corrupt file. You can now run Option 43 from the Settings and Utilities on this file and the file will be fixed. If you have pc/MRP version 7.90 or lower and this does not work call Software Arts for instructions on renaming the associated dbf and .dbt files. Use the renamed files and "copy to" the original name of the files, type foxplus. If you have version 8.00 or higher and this does not work, call Software Arts for instructions on renaming the associated dbf and fpt files. Use the renamed files and ‘copy to’ the original name of the files. You can also send the dbf & dbt files to Software Arts for repair.

To limit the number of line items per PO or SO select option 63 in the settings and utilities.
• If this error occurs while running a cost roll up or generating an MRP, run the "Audit BOM" option. (Modules, Bill of Materials, Audit BOM) The audit option will check the BOM module for a BOM that calls itself. It will display a list of errors in the Bill of Materials module. Correct the errors and the cost roll up or MRP should run correctly.

• Somebody else is using the file, the operation you are running requires exclusive use of the files, get everybody out of the file and try again.
• File is protected by the MSDOS attrib command. At the DOS prompt, attribute the file read/write by entering ATTRIB -R.
• Exit out of windows, and re-enter windows
• If you have a NET.CFG = or SHELL.CFG, make sure the FILE HANDLES statement reads FILE HANDLES = 99

• You are trying to run a single user version of pc/MRP on a network as a multi-user product and either you have a second copy of pc/MRP open or another user has a copy of pc/MRP open.
• You are running a multi-user version of pc/MRP using Novell networking software and you have not flagged the five files sharable read only.

• Versions 6.55E - 6.55F would display this error msg because the second user cannot find msg. idx and msg.dbf is in use by the first user.

• Somebody turned off the computer power while in pc/MRP and after a file or record was locked. Users can either Reboot the server or kick off the user that has the locked file through the server. Get everybody logged out of the server. The quick fix is to reboot the server. Make sure however, everyone is logged-off of the server. Then and only then, shut off the server and power it back up again. The file and or record will be unlocked. If you opt to kick the user off that has the locked file, and you have Windows NT Server, go to the server, select start, programs, and admin tools. Select server manager and double click on the server. Select "In use" and close the pc/MRP resource. Another way to get to the "In Use" screen and kick users off a certain file is to click on the "Start" button, select "Settings", select "Control Panel", double click on the Server icon, and click on the "In Use" button. If that does not fix this error then you will have to reboot the server. Once again, make sure everyone is logged off the server if you choose to reboot. If you have windows 2000 server, go to the control panel, select Admin Tools, Computer Management, system tools, shared folders, open files, and close the locked file.
• With the BOM module, if two people try to print out a BOM at the same time and both have logged in with the same name, the second person will get an error 1705. To prevent this, have everybody log in under a different name (mikes and mikeh instead of mike and mike)

To correct this situation open explorer and right click on the pcmrpw directory, select properties, select security (available on NTSF formatted drives only), select permissions, select modify control, check both the "Replace permissions on sub directories" and "Replace existing permissions" check boxes. Click on the OK button and Windows will give full control to all users for all files within pc/MRP.
