Converted pchar_ output to text for 〈string〉

An attempt was made to write a string with pchar_ instead of ptext_, but the string contains a combination of characters for which ptext_ must be used.

ESD less than precision of machine

Overflow of esd

Underflow of esd

A call to pnumb_ or numb_ was made with values of the number and standard uncertainty (e.s.d) which cannot be presented properly on this machine. A bounding value of 0 or 99999 is used for the e.s.d.

Invalid value of esdlim_ reset to 19

In processing numeric output, a value of esdlim_ less than 9 or greater than 99999 was found. esdlim_ is then set to 19.

Missing loop_ name set as _DUMMY

Missing loop_ items set as DUMMY

In processing a loop_, a dummy string has been inserted for a missing header or value.

Output CIF line longer than line_

In outputting a line, the data exceed the limit specified in line_. This occurs only if a single data name or a value exceeds this limit.

Out-of-sequence call to end text block

The termination of a text block has been invoked before a text block has been started. This can only occur with irregular use of the CIFtbx routines rather than the standard interface routines.

Output prefix may force line overflow

A prefix string placed in prefx_ exceeds line_ less the allowed length of tags.

Prefix string truncated

A prefix string specified to prefx_ is longer than the maximum line length allowed. The prefix string is truncated and processing continues.
