X-Hacker.org- Force 4.0 Reference - 264 unlinked field accessed http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
 264                 Unlinked field accessed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Description
   This error occurs when attempting to access a database field that is
   declared in the dbfdef, but missing in the actual database.

   When a database file is open, Force attempts to match fields declared in
   the database alias (the dbfdef block) to fields in the database file
   header. If a field exists in the alias and in the database, it is
   considered linked. If the field does not exist in the database file, it
   is not linked.

   If the system variable __soft_link is set to .t., then fields that are
   not linked are ignored during the open or use commands and processing
   continues. However, any attempt to access a non-linked field, e. g. by
   executing the replace or ? command, results in an error.

 Solution
   Ensure that fields that are in fact accessed by the program indeed
   exist in the database.
