Wierd Transoft / Pro-ISAM Conversion Error

25 August 2004 - 09:32 PM

I've been running into a wierd problem when trying to access data from a certain Pro-ISAM file via Transoft ODBC: When I do a simple "select * from ;" on certain files, I get "FrameRead:NetRead header". From this point on, any commands I enter in usqli give the same error (including selects on files that previously worked). The UFD definition looks right: all arrays and stuff defined.

Has anyone seen this before and know how to fix it?

Does anyone have Transoft/Pro-ISAM documentation?

Any help is most appreciated...

Transoft .ufd Files

11 July 2004 - 07:31 PM

Hi,

I'm attempting to set up Transoft ODBC interface for a client's system, but have no documentation about how to set up the UFD files for PRO-IV (I have docs for Cobol, C-ISAM, and BBASIC formats for all the good that does me...). I found an old post on the forum here from 2001 that had a small function that generated info for the UFD file and that helped, but does anyone have documentation or experience of defining the data types in the UFD files, debugging odd problems in the interface with the Pro-ISAM files, etc? Currently, I can't pull data from a file because it is complaining data type conversion error. It is a 1 character "A" field in PRO-IV, and is defined as a "string" of size 1 in the ufd file (based on the function I ran that generated it). The table builds OK in the UDD, but when I select from the table, I get this error.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
