Hi Javier, Every time I declare a cursor, I use the same format: drop cursor, if it's open set error variable vErrCodedeclare cursor statement open cursorfetch statementset vSaveErr=.vErrCode while vSaveErr <> 100 then misc processing fetch statement set vSaveErr=.vErrCodeendwhile 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.

Maybe if you post the code in the loop and after the Declare Cursor, it would debugging your issue. Javier,

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
