error code 1

What exactly is error code 1? I wrote a search function that seems to work in that it does what I want it to, but it also returns error code 1.

I am experiencing a similar problem search is returning an error code 1 when using it for the following search: index=euc_spacesdata sourcetype=SpacesActivities | lookup PeopleCentralLookup corpid

I have a field alias for USERNAME field to create the corpid field and am able to search via the corpid alias.

I've never seen a python search command return any "error codes" other than 1 so I suspect error code 1 is just the opposite of "success code 0". That said, why the system gives back a nice exception str sometimes, and "error code 1" in other cases, I haven't figured out.

I am having the same problem, actually. I have a relatively simple search, actually:
index=(withheld for company privacy) [fields] | stats count by task_name | sort -count | rename count AS "Times Completed", task_name AS "Most Completed tasks" | head 20
and it is giving me the following message:
Script for lookup table 'user-name' returned error code 1. Results may be incorrect.

anyone have answers for this?

Can you post the search that your using? I did a little looking around and the only other instance i could find of error 1 was from a search command that accessed external resources.
