Progress Error No. 142 - FIND FIRST loop

[ajaysheth]

Dear All,

I have encountered error no. 142 in Progress. I have re-checked the logic and it seems to be fine. Would like to know in what all cases does Progress generate error no. 142. Thanks in advance to all.

Regards,
Indra

As the error suggests you may be trying to update a field but no record is available.

You should check that a record is available before trying to manipulate the data.
eg.

the following statement may or may not find a record:

find first customer where customer.name  begins "a" no-error.

So you check that the record is available before trying to do anything with it...

find first customer where customer.name  begins "a" no-error.
If available customer then
do:
     /* Insert code to manipulate the data here */
end.

If that's doesn't answer you question then please post your code so we can have a look.
