OpenVMS DCL Dictionary for the correct syntax.
BADALORQSZ, bad memory allocation request size
Facility: BUGCHECK, System Bugcheck
Explanation: The OpenVMS software detected an
irrecoverable, inconsistent condition. After all physical memory is
written to a system dump file, the system automatically reboots if the
BUGREBOOT system parameter is set to 1.
User Action: Use the BACKUP command with the /IGNORE=NOBACKUP qualifier to make a backup save set of the system dump file and the error log file active at the time of the error. Contact a DIGITAL support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error.
BADBLKSIZE, 'save-set-spec' has inconsistent block size
Facility: BACKUP, Backup Utility
Explanation: The volume mounted as a continuation
volume of a multivolume save set is not recorded with the same block

operation, such as the /IMAGE qualifier, may be appropriate. Or retry
the operation using either the original input volume or an error-free
output volume.
