maybe it was missed :)

I don't know whether to call it a BUG or an unsupported FEATURE, but the
Palm Devices also does not seem to like NextRecordListID.
The database I used was...
000000: 61 54 65 73 74 5F 46 6F 72 5F 4E 65 78 74 52 65 aTest_For_NextRe

2 Records in FirstList, 1 record in Second List. After sync, the
applications in the device see only 2 records, whereas after exporting the
database back from the device, the database is compeletely intact as above.
So the HotSync Manager, MUST be working fine, but somewhere the APIs must
be ignoring the NextRecordListID.
Can anybody explain this behavior ?
This takes me back to the question :
Is it worth the effort to make the application "NextRecordListID"
compatible ?

That field is not supported by the Emulator. It being supported would mean
that
you could install more than 64K number of records, which the Database
Manager
API doesn't support.
At least, I think it doesn't. I've seen posting from people saying they
had
databases with 70,000+ records in them, but it's not clear to me how they
can
access all those records when DmGetRecord takes a UInt16 as an index...

Subject: PDB Format [ NextRecordListID ]
I am trying to use NextRecordListID in my application, but the emulator
rejects the PDB saying the NextRecordListID is not Zero.
Is NextRecordListID not supported in Emulator only or is it just a
foresight, and the Palm OS as of now does not support NextRecordListID ?
I mean is it worth the effort to make the application "NextRecordListID"
compatible ?
