Hi to all,
I got a "little" problem with a Clipper 5.01 - DOS 6.22 application:
	DBSETINDEX(0) internal error 5333
Does anybody know what it means?
Thank you.

So what's wrong with that, chr(1) IS a smiley ! The fact that it DISPLAYS as
a smiley does not mean that your software can not recognize it and crunch it
as ASCII 001. It's hard to know for sure when I am not looking over your
shoulder, but I suspect you are seeing a problem where none exists.
(Ascii 1, 2 = Smileys : 3,4,5,6 = heart, diamond, club, spade etc. ...)

assistant: Hello Jan!
You wrote me the following:
I know that I can index on such a function, but why should I make a slower
index when the files are so big? The users enter the data in, for instance, 5
get's and a function puts them in the right order and with the right
separators in one field. So the user doesn't have to struggle with the
Alt-codes. By the way, my purpose is that the user can always use every
character that's on his keyboard.

Write your reply.

assistant: DM ->        DBSETINDEX(0) internal error 5333
All of what David Brelew wrote is correct, but may not solve your
problem. To elaborate on his explanation, if you have the NOEMS on your
EMM386.EXE command line in CONFIG.SYS, it disables expanded memory, but
versions of Clipper prior to 5.2 don't recognize it. This causes the
program to crash when it tries to access the non-existent expanded
memory. If you _don't_ have NOEMS specified, this definitely isn't the
problem.
The internal error 5333 is well known, and was never fixed in Clipper
5.01a. It took all the way until 5.2d was released for it to get fixed.
It means the Clipper Virtual Memory Manager has run into a situation it
doesn't know how to handle.
The only real fix is to upgrade to Clipper 5.2, apply the 'e' patch,
and recompile and relink your program.

I had the same problem a few months ago. It's about Virtual Memory, it's
not enough or something. In my case, I tried several things and nothing
worked. Finally, I discovered that the cooler of the processor wasn't
orking.
After I replaced it, the error did not appear again.
Well, I tell you what I tried in case it's useful for you:
* Enable EMS because Clipper 5.01 does not use XMS Memory to swap pages.
* See if the modules are very big and try to make more but smaller ones.
Hope it works for you.

I started with the 4.0-version myself as well, back in 1990 (?).
I bought this product overhere in the Netherlands at a company
called 'Personal Software Design' (what's in a name, ehh ??).
They informed me about new releases/updates etc.. I had
to BUY version 5 (upgrade-price, about $100,-- (????) and
lateron I had to BUY version 6 too (upgrade-price, again
about $100,-- (????)). As you can see, I don't remember
the upgrade-price, but that's why somebody invented the
telephone  :-)
If you are going to make this call, be sure to have the
registration-number written down on a piece of paper :
Start your 4.0-version and press Ctrl-F1 : this will display
your registration number.
Any time !

cA := space( 10 )
cB := space( 10 )
cC := space( 10 )

Hello All,
I need a way to determine the mail directory of a user in a NetWare 3.x or
4.1x
(bindery mode) from within a Clipper 5.2e application. Is there an easy way?
I could use a function that returns a trustee directory list (nnettrslst()
from
CT III or n_dirlist() from Netlib 6.0e), and scan for an entry that looks
ike
'sys:/mail/...', but that doesn't seem the right way to me.
I guess there's a low level NetWare API call to get the mail directory of any
user, but I haven't found it yet.
Anyone???

I think this is a very good idea, since every one of us sooner or later
has to change to a windows system anyway. I am still using clipper in a

every begin is hard.
I am shure xBase is the easiest way to change to objectoriented
programming which is definitely the future way of programmdevelopment.
Who in this area has any experience with xBase so far ?????
