Sort gives a "Chunk Not Locked" error.

[Sean L. Gilley]

I'm trying to sort a rather large database -- about 85,000 records.

When I call the sort routine, I get a "Chunk not locked" message.a

Below are the two routines.  Pretty simple.  But as soon as I get
to the line calling the sort function, I get the error.  I've tried
both Quick and Insertion sorts with the same problem.

SortRecords()   
{               
        DmOpenRef *gDB;
                
        CALLBACK_PROLOGUE;
                
        gDB = DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator('Dic', 'SGSI', dmModeReadWrite);
        DmQuickSort(gDB, (DmComparF *) DictCompareRecords, 0);
        DmCloseDatabase(gDB);
                
        CALLBACK_EPILOGUE
}       

UInt DictCompareRecords(Dict *elem1, Dict *elem2, Int i, SortRecordInfoPtr s1, 
SortRecordInfoPtr s2, VoidHand appInfoH)
{           
        int ret;             
               
        CALLBACK_PROLOGUE;
        ret = StrCaselessCompare(elem1->dict, elem2->dict);
        CALLBACK_EPILOGUE               
        return ret;
}               

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Sean.
