Hi Patti, Error codes are included in the RDocs9.5, which is well worth having if you have not already purchased it.
FWIW, the current 9.5 help file does not list SET POINTER in the help index (as a subset of the SET command). Possibly error 406 is a legacy error code? Maybe technically correct but referring to a legacy description? Steve On 29 Dec 2014 at 18:45, Patti Jakusz wrote: 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.

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.

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
