Hi David,
a small auto-advertizing :-)
Use Resco Explorer, go to RAM folder, "view" your DB and find particular
record. You will see the size in the upper left corner.
However, the method to get this number differs from yours:
LocalID blockID;
We use DmResourceInfo to get blockID and then
void* ptr = MemLocalIDToLockedPtr(blockID, 0) ;
long recSize = MemPtrSize(ptr) ;
Not that this would be any better, but at least you have an independent
check with a working software.
With best regards,
Jan Slodicka
Resco, Palm Division
