- I am currently in the process of porting an existing system from SCO XENIX
- to DOS under Informix 4GL V3.61. I have hit upon a problem where I
- receive the following error message :-
-
- Program error at cbak.4gl line 180
- SQL statement error number -229
- ISAM error number -24
- Could not open or create a temporary file.
-
- The line it stops at merely reads
-
- OPEN cu_due
-
- where 'cu_due' is a previously defined cursor.
-
- The problem occurs *ONLY* if I have previously issued a 'RUN' command to
- call a DOS batch file. The batch file is used to call WordPerfect 5.1,
- although calling a batch file that does nothing will then proceed to
- cause the above error. The problem does not occur under XENIX.
-
- I have read the manual, error number -229 tells me to look at the ISAM
- error, but I cannot find any trace of error -24!
-
- Can any one please help!
-
- Mark.
