FILE NAME

[patili]

Hi
i use Clipper 5.2e and the function dbinfo() didn't work
I want to get the full name of the . dbf in use , not the alias .
How can i do?
Thanks

[James Bott]

Are you doing it like this?

MyAlias->(dbinfo(DBI_FULLPATH))

[patili]

Yes
rtlink gives the error l2029 "unresolved external"
it seems that dbinfo is not in clipper 5.2e

>it seems that dbinfo is not in clipper 5.2e

I think you are right, it is only in Clipper 5.3.

HOW CAN I EXTRACT THE FUNCTION DBINFO() FROM THE CLIP 5.3 .lLIB AND PUT IT IN MY CLIP5.2E.LIB?
I HAVE TLIB FROM BORLAND BUT I DON'T KNOW IT WELL.
I DON'T USE CLIP 5.3 BECAUSE SOME FUNCTIONS OF MY APPLICATION DON'T WORK WITH 5.3
THANKS

Patrick,

DbInfo() is highly related to the RDD Clipper internal architecture, so you probably can not extract it from 5.3 and use it with 5.2

[patili]

Aie
have you an idea to retrieve the name of the file in use in 5.2e?

[Antonio Linares]

No, sorry

[patili]

I use Hypersix Driver v1.1 which don't work with Clipper 5.3.

I use Clip5.2e/Comix/FW for many years and it is good couple for 16 bits. These set is compatible with xHarbour/FWH/RMDBFCDX or ADS for 32bits.
