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.

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 the SET POINTER command. This condition sets the value of the

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
