Downloaded and used "par" to analyze file.
On the PC:
- "par" shows 270 records (both as header dump and dump of records.)
- PDB Reader shows 270 records
- app works perfectly in Emulator
- Simulator shows 270 records, app works perfectly
File downloaded to Palm:
- Filez shows 256 records
- DmNumRecords() in app shows 256 records.
- app is missing important records.
have you tried copying the file to a memory card; then, using the internal
system copy function to copy it to the internal memory and do the same
checks? i would put my money on the fact that you "hotsync" procedure
is doing something it shouldn't be doing...
avoid hotsync; do it via a memory card; that'll help you track down the problem.
i know for sure that a database can have > 256 records in it. i've had a 8mb
streaming file; which, has records each of 4096 bytes in size (4100 - with sig)
which is at least 2048 records; and, this was hotsyncable fine back in the day.
the number of records is an UInt16 - its been that way since palmos 1.0
