My problem concerns a DBF file with the following defect...

I have a particular field which is 50 characters long...When I try to read this with an @get command, it works well EXCEPT on one particular record where the field size is much smaller than 50 -> 13.

The rest of the file is ok.


Is it possible for just one record to get corrupted? I have a program that fixes corrupted dbfs but it only seems to fix invalid headers.

I have also tried to make a copy of the file by a select-sql statement but then all records have that field 13 character long.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks in Advance,

Mark
