Error code 1500 with the SYSTRANS command

Hi,
We are currently running legacy applications using Natural for Windows NT V2.2.3 and Adabas V3.1 and I am trying to take a backup of the source code using the SYSTRANS command.

When I run this utility (after entering all appropriate paramaters) I receive a NAT 1500 error message (open for work file 3 failed) in the program SULWRWF3 on line 920.

As there is only object code for this SAG module, I am unable to debug.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can overcome this error or perhaps might know of an alternate way I can unload Natural source code?

The reason I need to do this is that in the near future the application data will be moved to a data warehouse and the Adabas/Natural environment will be switched off permanently so I would hate to lose all the source code.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys,
It looks like I’ve solved my own problem by defining the work files the SYSTRANS utility uses in NATPARM’s. :smiley:
