I'm writing my first database code. I copied this simple function out of
the Palm OS Programming Bible, but its not returning. Or, it wasn't until I
made it quit when the count rose to 10000. It seems so straight forward,
I'm at a loss what's going on. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

// The function call looks like this:
Int16 count = CountDBs('DATA', 'PCAD');
// Count the number of Databases
Int16
CountDBs(UInt32 type, UInt32 creator) {
// (code from "Bible" pg. 385
DmSearchStateType searchState;
Int16 count = 0;
UInt16 cardNo;
LocalID dbID;
if (DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(true, &searchState,
type, creator, false, &cardNo, &dbID)
{
do {
count++;
} while (count < 10000 && DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(false,
&searchState,
type, creator, false, &cardNo, &dbID));
}
return count;
}
