Hi, you may use of the try..catch..endtry construction. Regards, Koen 2014-11-06 23:24 GMT+01:00 John R. Sowden jsow...@americansentry.net: I am trying to deal with a bad or missing cdx file. I have a program that recreates indices. I test for the existence of the cdx file. If found I delete it. Then I recreate the index with the various tags. Problem is the program crashes if it cannot find the index the first time. Of course it changes the header to say there is no cdx file, so my program runs fine the second time. thoughts?

Re: Problem with Missing CDX - Now uses for FP DOS
John R. Sowden wrote: FP/DOS lives for a few more years, I found a use for FPDOS for a part of my app written in VFP9. I have certain places where it is useful to be able to view and invoice/delivery note whilst doing something else. If you create a text only version of the invoice and put in a memo it is very quick and easy to bring it up in a window without having to load an external viewer or a preview window. I created the report layout in FPDOS and you can then run it TO FILE atextfile.txt then append memo to save it. As long as you don't edit the layout with FPwindows or VFP it will only have DOS records in so produces a nice clean text file. This is not the version that is printed, just a quick view version. The memos are not that big either. Just checked and 52000 memos gives an FPT size of only 88mb.

RE: problem with missing cdx file
We solved this same problem with the following code in our ErrorTrap procedure: if error() = 1707 or upper(message(1)) = STRUCTURAL CDX FILE NOT FOUND. *-- ignore it, because our programs will build the index. retry which will open the fileendif When you do 'use MyDBF' it triggers the error because the CDX is missing. This code ignoresthis particular error and opens the DBF without the CDX. You can then test for the CDXand do your re-creation.

Re: Problem with Missing CDX
I like the trap the error message routine. I found the sys(2018) function. I am concerned though re: when the error occurs vs. when it is trapped. I am running v2.6/DOS. I have a standard error routine that even lets me know when I come to work in the morning that an error occurred and more info than I will need to fix it, but that is a fatal error. Can I trap for the event, knowing that it might happen, without letting it happen. It sounds like errortrap is a vfp function. I tried vfp 5.0, it never ran, and by the time the next version came out I had moved to Linux for my gui os. I run 2.6/DOS either in DOS or Linux/dosemu.

RE: Problem with Missing CDX
John: The exact same code is in my FP 2.6 DOS version of ErrTrap, which was last modified in 2000. So it will work. The 'retry' is what exits the ErrTrap with the DBF open, without the (missing) CDX. If you don't have a generic ErrTrap procedure, you could just do on error do CheckCdx while opening the DBF's and then put it back.

Re: Problem with Missing CDX
Thank you! Let's see, what did I learn. Retry, never saw it in 20 years. And testing for a specific error code with error() allows me to create custom error solutions in my one error procedure.
