Informix Error -1306

-1306 Type again for verification.

The cursor is in a form field that has been designated VERIFY. You must enter the value twice, identically, before the cursor can move to another field. This procedure helps to ensure that no typographical errors occur during data entry. Alternatively, you can cancel the form entry with the Interrupt key (usually CTRL-C, but see the operating instructions that the program author supplied).

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-1306 is the 4GL-program equivalent of -1125: it fires when the cursor is in a VERIFY field awaiting its required second, confirming entry — per the official guidance, this is the same underlying prompt, surfaced under 4GL specifically.

  1. A VERIFY field reached and awaiting its required second entry, per the official guidance — the same direct cause as -1125.
Solutions / Resolution
  1. Type the value again, identically, to confirm it, per the official guidance — see -1125 for the full detail.
  2. Use the Interrupt key (typically CTRL-C) to bypass/cancel form entry, per the official guidance, if confirmation isn't actually intended.
Examples
N/A

This is the 4GL-program wording of -1125's condition — see -1125's examples for the underlying VERIFY-attribute mechanism.

Diagnostic Checks
  1. Confirm the field is marked VERIFY, per -1125's diagnostic approach.
