given by your combination of WHERE, OF, and USING phrases. You can suppress this
message by using the NO-ERROR option of the FIND statement. You might then have
to use the AVAILABLE, AMBIGUOUS, and/or LOCKED functions.

Additional research shows:

field in the index.

2. Problem is associated with gigantic database that has more than 1024 tables.
