FORTRAN FDML pre-processor error

[rbeasley3]

I'm trying to compile a FORTRAN program that has (DBMS) DML statements against the Common Data Dictionary (CDD). The CDD has the DBMS schema defined (type DBM$SCHEMA). However the program fails in the pre-compile stage with the following error:

%FDML-F-NODNOTFND, Error locating schema or subschema in CDD
[TABASE=xxx_xxx)] in module XXXXXXXXX

The "VAX DBMS FDML Reference Manual" didn't provide any explanations on what the error message means. I expected to find a table of FDML error messages in that manual, and the actions to take, but that manual didn't have any references to any FDML error messages, or what actions to take to resolve this issue. When I run the CDO utility, I can see the schema defined, so I'm at a loss to understand what's going on or what to do next.

If anyone has any experience with VAX DBMS or CDD, and who has come across this error before, please let me know.

Here are a few suggestions that you can give a try:

* Verify that the schema or subschema is defined in the CDD by running the CDO utility and checking the schema definition.
* Make sure that the correct CDD is being used by your program. You can specify the CDD to use by setting the appropriate logical name or environment variable.
* Check if there are any typos or mistakes in the schema or subschema names used in your program.
* Check if the CDD is configured properly, and there are no issues with the CDD installation or setup.

If none of the above solutions work, you may need to contact the support team for VAX DBMS or CDD for further assistance.
