Hi Bob,
As far as I know, there is no source code to DBAS, the Quanta library
holds the DBAS package that contains example assembler and C source code
to create databases. But not the extensions.
I did disassemble DBAS many years, but I would have to look on floppy
disks for it.
Regards,
Derek

Hi All,
DBAS is the excellent database engine written by David W. Howells and
used in my SuQcess database programs.
But recently a problem came to light while using DBAS on SMSQmulator.
It appears that field names can go missing when a lot of them are defined.
My tests revealed that the FLNAME function then returns an empty string,
making the names invisible for the user.
The test also showed that this problem is not limited to SMSQm but may
happen on QPC2 as well, be it at another point and there is, sometimes,
also a difference in behaviour for a QLIB compiled or an SBasic running
SuQcess. Sofar it's been very unpredictable.
To help in tracing the problem it would be nice to have the source of
DATA_BIN and DBAS_BIN but that is not part of many of the packages I
found out there.
Does anyone have or knows who has these sources?
Bob
