[daip] error messages in imagr

hello,

i am trying to image some data using imagr, and in successive attempts i have 
received error messages that i do not know how to  handle.  the first message 
that follows was for a DBCON data set that i was running.  i then ran imagr 
with only one of the data sets that was used in the dbcon file.  that ran 
until the second message came up and the program aborted.

below are the messages as they appeared in the session, followed by the 
inputs that were used by imagr.

i am in the AOC in room 257.  i will be attending the summer school, but i 
may be here some of the time outside the school.

thanks
