ERROR_IN_ORDER, Can anyone explain?

[FitzPattons]

I have recently been getting the following error returned when trying to place bets through the API: ERROR_IN_ORDER. The documentation here:
https://api.developer.betfair.com/se...eportErrorCode
has the following description for the error:

ERROR_IN_ORDER [i]"The action failed because the parent order failed"[/i]

I am running a program on two separate machines, through two separate accounts, they are using the same program code yet I am only seeing this problem on one of the accounts. I have searched around for an explanation for what a 'parent order' is and how it affects a market but I cannot find anything useful at all.

Has anyone come across this error before that might be able to enlighten me as to what it means so I can fix it?

Thanks!
Pat

What ExecutionReportStatus is being returned and what ExecutionReportErrorCode?

I think you are quoting the InstructionReportErrorCode (which is one level down in the error reporting process).

Hi betdynamics,

Thanks for the response and sorry for the slow reply, I managed to find the problem. The person in charge of monitoring the program had not been paying attention to the funds available in the account and they had run out, so the ExecutionReportErrorCode returned (if it had been output at the time) would have been INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS.

Thanks for getting back to me
