we have no query's that even come close to 200 columns.
It must be something else.

If the version is 13.10, then line 1875 is:
1875 LET _HideCol=NUM(_HideOpts$(i,1))
Error 42 would indicate that the subscript i is out of range. The _HideCol array is dimmed to 200, so if you have more than 200 columns in your query, this would cause the issue.

Is this still version 13.10?

If you open up that program on the system that gets the error is there a line 1875 and if so what is that code?

If there is no line 1875 you may have to open up a trace window and then cause the error to happen and then look through the trace.

Can you bypass your error handling to see if you can get the real line number?

I posted this in the past but never found a solution.
Getting ERR=42
Program .../lib/_plus/winutl/winqry
Line: 1875
Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this?

Found the problem:  The SkypeURIPreview bot was the source of the problem.  The below was added to the client's Apache 2.4 extra\http-default.conf file:

SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "skypeuripreview" bad_bot

<Location />
<RequireAll>
Require all granted
Require not env bad_bot
</RequireAll>
</Location>

I hope this helps out members who may have this issue.  Thank you to those members who responded to my post.

Hello,

I read the prefix documentation but I'm not sure if I am in the right place.
Is there a way to do the following in pxplus?

We have a program ARHIST.
When we call / perform or run it we want the system instead to call/perform/run ARHISTV2.
Is this possible without changing ARHIST and all it's entry points?

Thanks

Jerry

Any insights? So we don't wander in the dark...

Ok. never mind.  I was misinterpreting what I was seeing.  Thanks all for the suggestions.
