Mark –
Hope it helps. It's been a while since I put it together (circa SBPro4
v1.01 I think) but I keep it around to help me remember how the interface
works. BTW I forgot to include a definition of the SBase test file in the
comments (although it's probably pretty obvious and not too critical):
File definition
Field name Attributes Format
FLD1 TXT IXD 3
FLD2 TXT 20
FLD3 NUM -99999.000
If I were to redo the functions now, I'd probably just do an:
options failat 4097
rather that go through all that complicated 'signal on error' stuff — it
seemed like a good idea at the time though 🙂 Still can't fathom WHY SBase
returns 4096 ('1000'x) as an OK in some cases when it sure SEEMS that a zero
(0) return would be much more appropriate — perhaps the value was supposed to
be masked?
