Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-6011 fires when a dbfind() call for the NEXT row has reached the end of the table — per the archived catalogue, this is the expected signal that iteration is complete.

  1. Iteration via dbfind(..., NEXT) reaching the last row, per the archived catalogue — the direct, only cause.
Solutions / Resolution
  1. Treat this as the normal end-of-iteration signal, per the archived catalogue.
Examples
N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond the function-level condition described above.

Diagnostic Checks
  1. Confirm this occurs at the point in iteration where the table is actually exhausted.
