It actually behaves 'as expected' (meaning 'as intended') under both versions, but your expectations have to differ depending on which version you use. Under 4.12.UC1, it runs, generates an error message -1213, and then displays STATUS = 0. When the WHENEVER clause is modified to read: WHENEVER ANY ERROR CONTINUE it behaves differently -- the STATUS is set to -1213 and no error message is displayed. It's all down to the difference between 1.10.03 and 4.00 whereby the 4.00 version was made sensitive to almost every error, whereas 1.10.03 was not sensitive to many expression-based errors. In 4.1x, the 1.10.03 behaviour was re-instated as the default, and the 4.00 behaviour is available using the WHENEVER ANY ERROR version of the WHENEVER statement. Uggh!
