I'm getting the referenced error message when trying to use 'MORE' on two focus hold table. Has anyone ever seen this error referencing the FOCLIST field? I have confirmed all the other fields have a matching name and format. FOCLIST is I5 in both tables.

On version 8008

Have you made sure that the two tables have the same number of columns? The format mismatch error is misleading, and can occur when the number of columns is different.

Have you checked that the fields are in the same order?

I figured out it was being caused by a field coming from a joined table within the first table in the MORE statement.

Thank you for everyone's responses.
