Informix Error -3300: There are no more rows in the direction you are going.

Cause and resolution

There are no more rows in the direction you are going.

You reached the beginning or the end of the current list of rows. You can start a new query with the QUERY command, or use the PREVIOUS or NEXT command to reverse through the list the other way.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-3300 fires when NEXT/PREVIOUS reaches the end or beginning of the current row list — per the official guidance, this is expected list-boundary behavior, not an error condition needing correction.

  1. Reaching the beginning or end of the current query's row list, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.
Solutions / Resolution
  1. Start a new query with QUERY, per the official guidance, or
  2. Use PREVIOUS/NEXT to reverse direction through the list, per the official guidance.
Examples
Reversing direction at the list boundary
NEXT
-- -3300: already at the last row
PREVIOUS
-- moves back into the list instead
Diagnostic Checks
  1. Check whether the row list boundary was reached intentionally, and either reverse direction or run a new QUERY.
