I have a program that runs in Unattended Mode using SYS(2335). Occasionally (this weekend 5 out of 56 runs) an ERROR 2031 occurs on an ALTER TABLE line, mostly the last one hereunder. Error 2031 is:
User-interface operation not allowed at this time.It is my impression that this is a VFP-error. In debugging mode it does not occur and the variable m.lcExportAlias is fine.
Can it be that I should use the full table name - DBF() - rather than the alias? Any other suggestion?
lcTMPFile = m.P_TempDir + TempName() + '.DBF'
select * from EmpS0 into table "&lcTMPFile."
lcExportAlias = alias()
use in select( m.lcExportAlias )
use ( m.lcTMPFile ) exclusive
lcExportAlias = alias()
alter table ( m.lcExportAlias ) ;
drop mutdate ;
drop muttime ;
drop thesource
alter table ( m.lcExportAlias ) alter COLUMN reason C(15)
alter table ( m.lcExportAlias );
add EmpName C( cnMAXLenForName );
add EmpIndVol C( cnMAXLenForIndVol )
alter table ( m.lcExportAlias ) alter column empno C(5)
