Seems to me either the recount()is invalid (showing too many records) in which case fixing those bytes in the header will restore the mathematics or the file has been truncated and you have lost some records.
-----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John R. Sowden Sent: Tuesday, 24 December 2013 12:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: record count math issue So I have this mathematical problem: Database has 7,210 records. Each record is 76 bytes in length (75 data plus 1 delete flag) # records times record length is 547,960 bytes. DIR the file (from the O/S) and get a length of 541,040, and that doesn't take the header into count. Whatsup?
