This message indicates that the format of the <var>INITIALIZE</var> command as entered for a hashed, sorted, or record security file does not conform to this syntax: 
 INITIALIZE
SORT fldName (attributes)
HASH fldName (attributes)
RECSCTY fldName (attributes)

In particular, the message indicates that some <var class="term">string</var> followed the right parenthesis ()) of the attribute list.

Prior to version 7.5 of Model 204, nothing after the closing parenthesis was checked.


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 closing parenthesis.

System manager response: If you choose to always allow extraneous strings after the closing parenthesis of the field attributes, you can issue (usually in CCAIN) the following command:
MSGCTL M204.2942 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 <code>MSGCTL M204.2942 NOCOUNT</code> is not recommended, however, because if you do issue this command, the string after the right parenthesis will not be analyzed.
