response code 61 subcode 2 on a L3

hi,
anyone know what the above problem is?

response code 61 relates to a S8 but im issuing a L3 and subcode 2 is not on any documentation I can find online

Is this a Natural program? If so, could you post the READ LOGICAL?

If this is a direct call, could we see the control block and the buffers.

Subcode 2 indicates an invalid value operator in the search buffer.

Darren,

Look in Messages and Codes → Adabas Response Codes → Response 61

If you meant Open Systems instead of mainframe
Messages and Codes → Nucleus Response Codes → Response 61

Or enter “? 3061” on the Natural command line.

In your READ statement check that the starting/ending values match the format (alpha or numeric) of the descriptor.

Darren;

It has been awhile since your posting, so I assume you have reconciled your problem.

What was the source of the problem, and how did you resolve it?

Sharing with the community means that someone else who has the same (or similar) problem can easily find the answer already posted.

the problem was as mentioned above "Subcode 2 indicates an invalid value operator in the search buffer. " and has been added to recent version of adabas.

I think the problem was i was performing a L3 logical read but had more than 1 field in the search buffer
