(FOC1133) INTERNAL ERROR IN DATA CONVERSION ROUTINES
I keep getting this message. I have never seen it before, and cannot find anything wrong with my code. None of the error message manuals give any further information about what this message means.
Can anyone offer any insight into this message? Anyone with similar issues?
Thanks

I have two hold files that I'm trying to join. That's where the message seems to happen. There is nothing special about these files, just regular hold files.
The fields that I am joining on are of the same data type and have same usage and actual in the mfd.
There is no other detail to the message. I can't even find further detail in any of the error documents.

Thanks for all of the suggestions, but they didn't work out. It looks like I have figured out where the problem is coming from, just not why its happening.
I was wrong about the message being on the joins. The message was appearing after trying to TABLE FILE a particular hold file. I went every field and found that it was a particular date field that was causing the problem. Once I took that field out, it ran fine. Lucky for me, I didn't need that particular field for my report.
I still have no idea why its happening, but I've moved on. Lots to do and I can't spend anymore time on that. But, I can tell you that I have used that same date field in other programs successfully. And that I held that field 3 times before getting to the point where I got the message. It almost seems like another WF quirk to me.
What gets me is the lack of an explanation in any of the documentation for what that error is supposed to mean.
I appreciate the help and suggestions from everyone.

I ran into almost the exact same problem. After doing a "format alpha" on my hold file, I went into the MFD and changed the datetime format to an alpha format and WF was happy w/ that. That was my fix ... it may work for others. Ex. before: FIELDNAME =WHATEVER ,E44 ,HYYMDm ,A20 ,$
The FOC1133 is based on DATA. Typically the FOC1133 error would indicate that there is a problem with the way a particular field or column is being described in the Master File Description. The error could also indicate that a FOCUS function has an incorrect argument in it, or that is is related to the new MASTER Parser (SET MASTER=NEW/OLD). If you are only getting an occassional FOC1133, and there are not a lot (1 for each record in your file), then it probably is something that is not valid. For instance, a date field that does not contain a valid date. Hope this helps, Rich
