Review the docs for this

You should be checking SQLCODE

open cursor
fetch statement

while SQLCODE <> 100 then
   misc processing
   fetch statement
endwhile

Hi Javier,

Every time I declare a cursor, I use the same format:

drop cursor, if it's open

set error variable vErrCode
declare cursor statement

open cursor
fetch statement
set vSaveErr=.vErrCode


while vSaveErr <> 100 then
   misc processing
   fetch statement
   set vSaveErr=.vErrCode
endwhile


This has always worked before.  But the command files never stopped.  I had to 
use Task Mgr to end it.  So I traced it with only 2 records to process so I 
could see what the error was.  And it said error 406, instead of the 
anticipated 100.

Patti,
The location of the command where you check the code is critical since any 
other command(s) you run before it can reset the code. Maybe if you post the 
code in the loop and after the Declare Cursor, it would debugging your issue.

Hi Paul,
I haven't used SET POINTER for at least 15 years.  I didn't know it was still 
supported.  My code says DECLARE CURSOR.   All other command files I've used 
lately work ok and end up getting error 100 when they run out of records.  I 
don't even understand what happened here.

My problems always seem so bizarre.

Patti

Patti, You are using a pointer to access rows of data in a table. Either all 
rows have already been found, or no rows satisfy the condition of the SET 
POINTER command. This condition sets the value of the variable specified in the 
SET POINTER and NEXT commands rather than the variable specified with the SET 
ERROR VARIABLE command.

According to R:DOCS; You are using a pointer to access rows of data in a table. 
Either all rows have already been found, or no rows satisfy the condition of

Subject: [RBASE-L] - error code 406

Hello,

I'm writing a command file with a declared cursor.  I check, as I always do, 
for error code 100 to indicate I've come to the end of my records.  But this 
program keeps running and running.

I figured out it gets an error code 406 when it runs out of records to read.  I 
don't know where to find error code descriptions.  Does anyone know what this 
code means?

Thanks,
Patti Jakusz
