The computer is running freedos/4dos via a multiboot (linux/dos).
I have a billing program that evolved from dBASE II in 1981, and has had
few changes in the last year. I have a line:
use (depfile)
and am getting an error:
Error 12, Variable 'D' not found.
There is no variable D (I rarely use 1 character variables).
The code that heads up to "(depfile)" is:
depfile='deposits' && deposits.dbf is the payments file
if (file(depfile+'.DBF') .and. file(depfile+'.CDX'))
select 3
use depfile) <------- this is the error line
set order to depositno
else
wait window 'The Database files cannot be found, exiting program'
* the line above never shows, as the program has already crashed
endif
Again, no recent changes, certainly not in this area. I am on a
network. The program is designed to go to different drives based on
whichever computer it is running on. I do this by reading environment
variables, and assigning those for 'local drive' and "net drive", but
all of this was designed in the '90s.
help?
John
