In my diags program, I USE rsrc.dbc IN 0 SHARE, and I get a message that the file is not part of a database and I am allowed to locate it. However, upon location, it still won't open. The path is working properly and this works fine when running the app within the devel. environment. I just assumed that perhaps you cannot USE a .dbc during runtime. I thought this would be a slick way to identify my tables in lieu of creating a data dictionary table.
