The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Corrupt BTR file (business vision)... attempt to fix with BUTIL fails. Please help.

Asked by UrbanRiot in Btrieve 4GL Database

Tags:

I have a file called CUSTOMER.BTR that is corrupt (as reported by software Business Vision 32). I would like to get this file working again, with as little missing data as possible.

Following other forum postings I've seen with recommendations on fixing this problem, I attempted to use BUTIL.EXE to create a working version of this file, sans corruption.

BUTIL -STAT CUSTOMER.BTR  lists there being 9746 records.

BUTIL -RECOVER CUSTOMER.BTR CUSTOMER.REC  creates the .rec file, with 8148 records.

BUTIL -CLONE CUSTOMER.CLN CUSTOMER.BTR   successfully creates the clone file.

and then the problem:
BUTIL -LOAD CUSTOMER.REC CUSTOMER.CLN    fails!!  

I recieve the following error message:

BUTIL-66: BUTIL has loaded 0 records so far.

BUTIL-66: BUTIL has loaded 80 records so far.

BUTIL-14: The file that caused the error is CUSTOMER.REC.
BUTIL-100: An error occurred during the access of the sequential file.

BUTIL-9: The command did not complete due to an unrecoverable error.


The file is larger, so it did attempt to dump the files but failed. This file is not in use either, so that's not a possibility.

I am assuming that I am dealing with some really nasty corruption, considering it's looking like I've lost 1000 records. If anyone can give me a hand, suggestion or guidance on how to proceed I would appreciate it considerably. If there's a shareware alternative to fixing this file, I'm open to that. If there is a way to manually remove that corruption, that would be a bonus suggestion as well... Thank you in advance!
