Tips: Why is the AUTH Field, sometimes, not updateable?

  • 1.  Tips: Why is the AUTH Field, sometimes, not updateable?

    Posted Nov 05, 2013 06:42 AM

    In ACF2, you may find you are unable to update the AUTH Field, why?

    Here's a scenario:
    A User has Defined a field called 'AUTH', in the UID, and this can be populated when a Userid is setup.  But, when trying to amend this field, with a CHANGE command, the following message is displayed:
    ACF61004 AMBIGUOUS  KEY - AUTH
     
    The reason for the message:
    ACF61004 AMBIGUOUS  KEY - AUTH
    ...is because it's clashing with the AUTHSUPx fields.  Any field that is ACF2 defined can be shortened, so the User Defined Field, 'AUTH', is clashing with the shortened allowable name for the ACF2 AUTHSUPx fields.

    To resolve this, change the User Defined field to another name, other than 'AUTH'.
