M204.0193
M204.0193 Inconsistent range conditions
Two operators following IS in a Find statement or in the selection specification of the IFFIND function are incorrectly used. A correct example is:
AGE IS GREATER THAN 18 AND LESS THAN 64
An incorrect example is:
AGE IS GREATER THAN 18 AND NOT GREATER THAN 5
The operator following AND is illegal with the first operator. In SOUL, compilation continues, but the request is not executed. IFFIND returns a return code of 4.
Response: See the discussion in Numeric range retrievals or Specifying find criteria: numeric values for allowable combinations of operators. Correct the Find statement or IFFIND specification and retry.
