This message indicates that an <var>[[INITIALIZE command|INITIALIZE]]</var> command was entered that does not strictly conform to the syntax: an extraneous string was entered which appeared to be a filename, but <var>INITIALIZE</var> operates on the file specified by the <var>IN</var> clause, not by a filename following <var>INITIALIZE</var>.


Prior to version 7.5, it was possible to place extraneous text on the <var>INITIALIZE</var> command, and that text would be ignored. In version 7.5 and higher, the syntax of the <var>INITIALIZE</var> command is checked for strict
correctness. 

If you have entered the name of the file being initialized after the <var>INITIALIZE</var> keyword, you should correct the command. That is, remove the file name (and preceding <var>FILE</var> keyword, if present) that is after the <var>INITIALIZE</var> keyword.

The system manager can also use the <var>MSGCTL</var> workaround
as described below so that all invalid <var>INITIALIZE</var> commands formatted in this way can continue to work.

File manager response: The most direct response is to correct the command to conform to the proper syntax: that is, remove extraneous strings after the <var>INITIALIZE</var> keyword. 

System manager response: If you choose to always allow a file name after the <var>INITIALIZE</var> keyword (when that name is the same as the name of the file being initialized), you can issue (usually in CCAIN) the following command: 
MSGCTL M204.2940 NOCOUNT 

This action represents a very special case for the <var>NOCOUNT</var> option of <var>MSGCTL</var>. Normally, <var>NOCOUNT</var> only changes a message so that it does not increment the error count, and it does not directly affect the operation which issued the error message. For this message, however, <var>NOCOUNT</var> indicates that this condition is to be allowed, and normal processing of the <var>INITIALIZE</var> command will continue. 

Issuing the above <var>MSGCTL</var> command does not introduce any risk, relative to behavior with Model 204 prior to version 7.5, of an incorrect operation of <var>INITIALIZE</var>. The only caution to be observed is that in pre-7.5 versions of Model 204, a file name after the
<var>INITIALIZE</var> keyword is not checked against the name of the file being initialized. So the use of the file name after the <var>INITIALIZE</var> keyword might be a risky practice, if it is possible such a command might be used in a pre-7.5 version of Model 204.
