Just for giggles, did you try replacing the variable name with my much shorter name to see if the error message goes away? Otherwise, yeah, I wouldn't worry about it, set 2038 off...

In mine, the variable vLOJoin_Column_LIST is consistently and correctly populated (with the three column names in the referenced table); after which the 2038 Unidentified Table ERROR is thrown. There's the mystery. Since I'm getting what I want, should I take a walk on the wild side and wrap the block with SET ERROR MESSAGE 2038 OFF/ON and simply hope that my luck holds up?

So I just now tested your second select command on my RBGX database and it worked fine. Here's the syntax that worked for me: SELECT (LISTOF(#1)) INTO vText iv1 FROM Sys_Columns t1, Sys_Tables t2 WHERE t1.Sys_Table_ID = t2.Sys_Table_ID AND t2.Sys_Table_Name = "whycol" This did NOT work (got "syntax is incorrect for select"): SELECT (LISTOF(#1)) INTO vLOJoin_Column_LIST IND iv1 FROM Sys_Columns t1, Sys_Tables t2 WHERE t1.Sys_Table_ID = t2.Sys_Table_ID AND t2.Sys_Table_Name = "whycol" Only difference is the variable name...

Adding "AND LIMIT = 1" to the first block solves the problem for that block: --JOINER Column Name SELECT #1 INTO vWalk_JLINK_COLUMN INDICATOR iv1 + FROM Sys_Columns t1 , + Sys_Tables t2 + WHERE t1.Sys_Table_ID = t2.Sys_Table_ID + AND t2.Sys_Table_Name = .vWalk_JLINK_TABLE + AND LIMIT = 1 That is NOT the solution for the second block, as I need a list of column names returned: --Capture Column Names for LOJoin_ColumnSET Assembly SELECT (LISTOF(#1)) + INTO vLOJoin_Column_LIST INDICATOR iv1 + FROM Sys_Columns t1, + Sys_Tables t2 + WHERE t1.Sys_Table_ID = t2.Sys_Table_ID + AND t2.Sys_Table_Name = .vLoop101_TABLE ... adding "AND LIMIT = 1" returns only the first column name. Do I first need to do a column count and then set the limit to that? Or is this not the way to snag a list of column names for a table? Thanks for helping.

Dan Goldberg From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bruce Chitiea Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2016 11:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [RBASE-L] - ERROR 2038 Referencing Existing Table(s) RBGXE v. 0526 or 0627 Can anyone suggest why an Error #2038 ( -ERROR- #21 is an unidentified table.) ... is thrown by the following code? --JOINER Column Name SELECT #1 INTO vWalk_JLINK_COLUMN INDICATOR iv1 + FROM Sys_Columns t1 , + Sys_Tables t2 + WHERE t1.Sys_Table_ID = t2.Sys_Table_ID + AND t2.Sys_Table_Name = .vWalk_JLINK_TABLE TRACE confirms that the temp table referenced in variable vWalk_JLINK_TABLE exists at the time this code runs. BROWSE confirms that the data is correct. TRACE confirms that the output variable vWalk_JLINK_COLUMN has been populated with the correct value before the error is thrown. The same dynamic occurs with a subsequent block: --Capture Column Names for LOJoin_ColumnSET Assembly SELECT (LISTOF(#1)) + INTO vLOJoin_Column_LIST INDICATOR iv1 + FROM Sys_Columns t1, + Sys_Tables t2 + WHERE t1.Sys_Table_ID = t2.Sys_Table_ID + AND t2.Sys_Table_Name = .vLoop101_TABLE The referenced table exists prior, and the columnname list is captured into the output variable. Several blocks of identical code - varying only in their variable assignments - work without issue, before AND after each of these. This is in code which has worked without modification for over a year. Thoughts?
