When you issue a SET FILTER TO < some value > and there are no values, you are at EOF. When you issue a SET FILTER TO, you are still at EOF and trying to skip again throws an error.

Issuing LOCATE without any other information is like issuing a LOCATE FOR .T.. The result is you go to the first record in the table or in your case, the first record adhering to the filter. The point being issuing a LOCATE always "moves" the record pointer so any new filter will take effect.
