Hi,

This is Pavan Kumar. Currently, I am working on Natural Adabas initially.
While reading a work file record in my program, I am getting the below mentioned error.

" NAT0623 Variable/field/view must be defined in DEFINE DATA."

Please let me know, how to resolve this error.

Thanks & Regards,
Pavann Kumar

Hi Pavan,

You should encounter this error if you are using an user defined variable, a field from view that is not defined in DEFINE DATA statement.

Please check variables you are using with READ WORK FILE statement and make sure that all of them are defined before processing.

Also, for more explanation you can type ? 0623 on NEXT or COMMAND prompt. This will give you the total description of the error.

Thanks,
Atul

There is no error to resolve. You simply have to define the variables.

Is this a structure-mode or reporting-mode program?
