255.0. "FOC1070 'from' field out of sequence" by WMOIS::B_REINKE (If you are a dreamer, come in..) Mon Aug 21 1989 16:06

    Can anyone tell me what to do when I get an error
    message of "FOC1070 'from' field out of sequence; a026/ventet".
    
    This occured when I attempted to ex a fex on a join between two
    files. I then extracted just the fields that I wanted to
    use from the guest file into a hold file and joined the hold
    fil to the original host file. The fex worked as long as
    I kept the recordlimit at 15 or 20 but when I attempted to
    use it on the whole data base (about 300+ records) I once again
    got the same error message.

	When you JOIN non FOCUS files (a HOLD is a non FOCUS file) the
        field you join must be in sequence.

	It is probably in sequence for the 15/20 first records but not
        later. Try to sort it (FOCUS BY or VMS SORT).
