SYMPTOMS
When you try to open an attached Btrieve table, you receive the
following error message:
Unexpected error from external database driver [22]
CAUSE
Btrieve returns this error message when there is a mismatch between
the FIELD.DDF file and the Btrieve data table. This problem usually
occurs when the internal structure of the Btrieve table has been
changed without corresponding changes having been made to the
FIELD.DDF file. The Xtrieve manual lists this error with the following
description:
22 Data buffer length too short
The data buffer parameter is not long enough to accommodate the
length of the data record defined when the file was created.
Verify that the length of the data buffer is at least as long
as the file's defined record length.
RESOLUTION
Make sure that the internal structural definition of the Btrieve table
is the same as the FIELD.DDF file. This can be done using Novell's
Xtrieve program or a third-party DDF builder to update the FIELD.DDF
file.
