Generic Parsing Error

Question

In a 4D application, I have the following lines of code:

Begin SQL
UPDATE Keys
   SET Desc = :$desc,
       KeyStamp = :$key_stamp
 WHERE KeyTitle = :$key_title
End SQL

When trying to run the code, the following error is displayed:

Generic parsing error. Parsing failed in or around the following substring interval - ( 16, 23 ) - ... SET Desc = ...

Does anyone see the problem with the code? Keys is not a keyword or anything, is it?

Answer 1

Seems like someone forgot that Desc is a keyword for "descending." The solution is to rename the column and update all references to that column. Otherwise, the column cannot be referenced in SQL.
