Try
#define DBNAME "Data_for_JOHN"
instead of
#define DBNAME 'Data_for_JOHN'
The function takes a char * as a name

Subject: Error opening database
I am getting the following error trying to open the
database
Error : illegal character constant
Starter.cpp line 356 'Data_for_JOHN'
Here my code:
#define CREATORID 'JOHN'
#define DBTYPE 'DATA'
#define DBNAME 'Data_for_JOHN'
static Err AppStart(void)
{
StarterPreferenceType prefs;
UInt16 prefsSize;
// Read the saved preferences / saved-state
information.
prefsSize = sizeof(StarterPreferenceType);
if (PrefGetAppPreferences(appFileCreator, appPrefID,
&prefs, &prefsSize, true) !=
noPreferenceFound)
{
}
UInt16 mode = dmModeReadWrite;
DmOpenRef dbRef;
//PrefGetPreferences( &prefs );
dbRef = DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator( DBTYPE,
CREATORID, mode );
if( !dbRef ){
Err err = DmCreateDatabase( 0, DBNAME ,
CREATORID , DBTYPE, false );
if( err != 0 ) return err;
dbRef = DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator( DBTYPE,
CREATORID, mode );
}
return errNone;
}
