Example of correcting an error during an Edit session
If an error occurs during an Edit session, FM/Db2 displays =ERR
, =ERR R
, or the SQLCODE in the prefix area of the row
(or rows) in error. Example: error indicated during
Edit session shows an error
has occurred for one row.

To determine the type of error, type E in the
prefix area for the row in error and press Enter. FM/Db2 displays
an error information panel that describes the error and instructions
about what you can do to correct the error.

You can then take one of the following actions:
- Cancel the Edit session by pressing the Cancel function key (F12). Any uncommitted changes are lost.
- Press Enter or the Exit function key (F3) to return to the Edit session.
- Use the REDIT primary command (if the error information panel
offers it as an option) to edit the related table to correct the error.
Note: If the error information panel does not offer the REDIT primary command as an option, REDIT displays an Edit session.
In the example shown in Example: error indicated during Edit session, the error has been caused by two rows having the same index key (rows 4 and 5 both have an EMPNO of 000050). To correct the error:
- Press Enter to return to the Edit session.
- Change the offending index key for row 5 to a unique value such as 000060.
- Press the Exit function key (F3) to return to the Edit session.
