Informix Error -1302: The two entries were not the same. Try again.

Cause and resolution

The two entries were not the same. Try again.

To guard against typographical errors, this field has been designated VERIFY (in the form-specification file). You must enter the value in this field twice, identically. Carefully reenter the data. 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

-1302 is the 4GL-program equivalent of -1104: it fires when a VERIFY field receives two non-matching entries — per the official guidance, this is the same underlying confirmation mechanism, surfaced under 4GL specifically.

  1. A VERIFY field's second entry not matching the first, per the official guidance — the same direct cause as -1104.
Solutions / Resolution
  1. Re-enter the value, typing it identically both times, per the official guidance — see -1104 for the full detail.
  2. Cancel with the Interrupt key (typically CTRL-C), per the official guidance, if the entry needs to be abandoned instead.
Examples
N/A

This is the 4GL-program wording of -1104's condition — see -1104's examples for the underlying VERIFY-attribute mechanism.

Diagnostic Checks
  1. Check whether the field is marked VERIFY in the form specification, per -1104's diagnostic approach.
