Informix Error -1301
-1301 This value is not among the valid possibilities.
A list or range of acceptable values has been established for this column (via an INCLUDE attribute in the form-specification file). You must enter a value within the acceptable range.
Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance
Reasons / Common Causes
-1301 is the 4GL-program equivalent of -1103: it fires when an entered value falls outside a
field's INCLUDE-defined list or range in the form specification — per the official guidance,
this is the same underlying validation mechanism, surfaced under 4GL specifically.
- A value entered outside the field's
INCLUDE-defined list or range, per the official guidance — the same direct cause as -1103.
Solutions / Resolution
- Enter a value within the field's defined
INCLUDElist or range, per the official guidance — see -1103 for the full detail on this validation mechanism. - If the value should genuinely be valid, review and update the form specification's
INCLUDEattribute for that field, the same fix as -1103.
Examples
N/A
This is the 4GL-program wording of -1103's condition — see -1103's examples for the underlying
INCLUDE-attribute mechanism.
Diagnostic Checks
- Check the field's
INCLUDEattribute in the form specification, per -1103's diagnostic approach.
