M204.0180  Table B search implied for field ​=​ fieldName in context name

A Find statement or IFFIND function must do a sequential retrieval where indexed retrieval is impossible. A Table B search results, and the MBSCAN count is exceeded. Compilation continues but the request is not executed.

The possible Find statement contexts producing this message are:

  • fieldName = value, where fieldName is NON-KEY
  • fieldName IS value or IS GREATER THAN value or IS LESS THAN value, where fieldName is NON-RANGE
  • fieldName IS BETWEEN value1 AND value2, where fieldName is NON-RANGE
  • fieldName IS AFTER value or IS BEFORE value, for any type of field
  • fieldName IS PRESENT, for any type of field
  • fieldName IS ALPHA ... value, for an ORDERED NUMERIC field
  • fieldName IS NUM ... value, for an ORDERED CHARACTER field

Response: Reset MBSCAN, using the RESET command, and retry. Correct syntax of request if using IS ALPHA on ORDERED NUMERIC fields, or IS NUM on ORDERED CHARACTER fields.

File manager response: If several of these messages appear for the same field name, consider making the field KEY, NUMERIC RANGE, or ORDERED, depending upon the context.

System manager response: Consider changing the default value of MBSCAN, set on the User 0 parameter line, or use the Model 204 default of -1.
