I'm attempting to get values from the UNILEVELTREEHISTORY table based on a list of customerids created in the hold file V1, using 'IN FILE'. I keep getting ERROR (FOC006), THE FORMAT OF THE TEST VALUE IS INCONSISTENT WITH FIELD FORMAT: My code is below:

-SET &ECHO=ALL;
SET EMPTYREPORT=ON
SET ASNAMES=ON


TABLE FILE COMMISSIONUNILEVELTREE
PRINT
CUSTOMERID
WHERE CUSTOMERID EQ 1450316;
ON TABLE HOLD AS V1
END
-RUN


TABLE FILE UNILEVELTREEHISTORY
PRINT
UNILEVELTREEHISTORYID
CUSTOMERID
MOVEDATE
PREVIOUSSPONSORID
WHERE CUSTOMERID IN FILE V1;
END
-RUN

Any tips on what I'm missing? Thanks

If all the only way you are going to use V1 is in the where clause, you can use ON TABLE SAVE AS V1. This will not create a master and it will automatically be ALPHA format.
