ok. I'm using TRANS to read some data, but I need to be able to tell if the
record exists, WITHOUT producing an error message.
ok. So, I use the 'C' command, where it's supposed to return the @ID if it
doesn't exist
BUT....I have records where the only data in <1> is the record ID (by
coincedence).
so I'd get:
1 @ID if the record does not exist
2 non zero lenth data that happens to be same as @ID (some of the records and
OK)
3 zero length data if the @ID exists, but has no data (which is OK)
4 non zero length data that is not the same as the @ID (which is OK)
How can I distinguish between cases 1 and 2 ?
I can't think of any way......and continue using TRANS. I really don't want to
create a VOC entry for the file
then open this temporary file, then read the record. But I might have to.
