Is your algorithm trying to sell more shares than what the position holds? Maybe the fill quantity was slightly smaller than what the algorithm had ordered?

Hi,
My algo took a long position on a stock and when target was reached and wanted to exit I got this message:
201 Order rejected - reason:The contract is not available for short sale.
I'm aware of? this message if I want to go short on a stock.
But if I bought and own the shares why does this happen?
The algo runs in paper trading account so is it related?
Can this really happen live?
Thanks
A
