record number

[Alagesh]

Hi

The foll. code generates an error saying :  "DataMgr.c" line 4166 Err
Getting Rec .
Any one pl. tell me how do I specify the record number of the first record
in the database and thus transfer all the records in one database to
another.
I have tried using the DmDetach and DmAttach , But that doesn't work b'cos I
feel its due to the wrong record number specification.

code follows :

error = DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator
               ( true,   &stateInfo,  TempDBType, TempAppType,  true,
&tempCardNo,
                  &tempDB_ID );

 while( error != dmErrCantFind )
 {
     tempDB = DmOpenDatabase(tempCardNo, tempDB_ID, dmModeReadOnly);
     rec_Num = DmNumRecords(tempDB)  - 1;
    recH = DmGetRecord(tempDB,rec_Num);
    if(recH)


      recText = MemHandleLock(recH);
      index = DmNumRecords(TestDB);
      newH =  DmNewRecord(TestDB,&index,StrLen(recText));
     if(newH)


     newText = MemHandleLock(newH);
     if(DmWriteCheck (newText, 0,StrLen(recText)) == 0)
           error = DmWrite (newText, 0, recText, StrLen(recText));
       else
           ErrFatalDisplayIf(error, "Could not write into database.");
    MemHandleUnlock(newH);
   }
   MemHandleUnlock(recH);
  DmCloseDatabase(tempDB);
  DmDeleteDatabase (tempCardNo,tempDB_ID);
  error = DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(true, &stateInfo, TempDBType,
                                TempAppType,  true, &tempCardNo,
&tempDB_ID);
 }
 }

TIA
Alagesh
