Running jBase 4.1.6.7 on HP-UX B.11.31

I thought that I'd share an experience that I just had with the group.
I'm not looking for solutions, and I will be passing this along
through our VAR. I just thought that this experience might be
worthwhile to share.

Anyway, I created a J4 file on one server, and then overwrote the Data
Section with a copy of the file (also a J4) that I had on another
server using scp. (We do not have jRFS established between these two
particular servers and I needed a populated file) I forgot to transfer
the permissions, though, and the Data Section ended up having owner-
only permissions r+w.

During testing, I discovered that when another user running my app
attempted to open that Data Section with an OPEN statement, jBASE was
indicating that the OPEN was succesful, but the file variable that was
populated contained the handle to the Dictionary Section, and not the
Data Section.

I found it interesting that an I/O error didn't result when the app
attempted to OPEN the file, and the Dict Section got opened instead.
Once the permissions had been changed to grant access, all was well.
