Here is what I plan to do. I will create this index tag so that the command will match the existing tags. The way I came across this problem is I did plan to have this index tag. But forgot to create it. Yet, my meta table has this index tag. So in one process the program uses meta table for index tags; set the index tag (using SET ORDER TO TAG ...) and then goes to the last record (GO LAST). Yet, I was not getting error on my machine. Except a customer is getting an error. So it must be something specific to my machine that does not show the error.
