Informix Error -1302

-1302 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.
