Sorry to bother you, but I have a small problem I've updated to your latest version of the choreo program. Each time I open the program it tells me the get out database has no sorted records and I should sort it as soon as possible. I do that each time and the program seems to work OK, but I suspect this isn't the way you have designed the program. Do you have a thought as to why it might be happening and what you might suggest I do?
I did download again the most recent executable file and re-install it, but that didn't solve the problem.
It would help if you gave me the exact error text
that you receive.
I.e., is it...
-
WARNING: Database GETOUT has no sorted records!
The database should be sorted as soon as possible.
If so, this error message has two causes:
- The database is empty. In which case, perhaps this
is why you get the error message each time. The GETOUT
database is C:\SQDATA\SQUAREDB\GETOUT.DAT. Make sure that
the file exists, is not of size 0, and isn't read-only.
From the CSDS main menu, select 'System | Status'.
What does it say about the GETOUT database?
- The database has no sorted records. This might happen if
the database was somehow corrupted, or if the first record
in the database had a incorrect key value. Sorting the database
should fix the problem.
You might try deleting file C:\SQDATA\SQUAREDB\GETOUT.PNA
(note the file extension is PNA not DAT). This is the index
file for the database. If CSDS detects that this file does
not exist, it will re-create it.
Check for file C:\SQDATA\GETOUT.UPG. This is the upgrade
file for the getout database. It is written when you do the
'complete release' upgrade. The file should be automatically
deleted by CSDS after it upgrades the database. If, for some
reason, it was 'read-only', perhaps CSDS couldn't delete it.
If this file exists, you could try deleting it.
As a last resort, you could do the following:
(note: doing this will delete any GETOUT records
you may have added to the database)
- Delete your GETOUT database (delete GETOUT.DAT and GETOUT.PNA
from C:\SQDATA\SQUAREDB).
- Place a copy of GETOUT.UPG in C:\SQDATA.
- Run CSDS.
