ISAM file opening error

[amit.atray]

Hi,

I am trying to open an ISAM file with isopen call.
But I am getting error with iserror set to 111.

I tried to check 111 error code ...

111 ENOREC
Action: No record could be found that contained the requested value
in the specified position.

I think this error should error if we are trying to find a record and
record is not there.
But how can this error be possible while opening a file (ISAM)???

Thanks

This is not really a Standard C question. You need to ask in a group
more specific to the particular database system you're using.

This not a question in any way related to C but about a certain
library (that may be written in C, but that doesn't make it a
C problem), probably a (of possibly many) library for dealing
with ISAM files. To get an answer to your question you will
have to find a group where discussions of ISAM libraries are
on-topic, probably some group dedicated to database program-
ming.

IOW:

Off topic. Not portable. Cant discuss it here. Blah, blah, blah.

You want news:comp.databases.informix (follow-up set).

Is the file empty?
