I'm trying to hunt down BTRIEVE RECORD MANAGER v4.11b suite. &nbsp;I am trying to understand a program that was written in QuickBasic.<br />

In the program I can see where the programmer has set his types to match the fields in the BTR files, but what I don't understand is a CALL in the program called BTRV (). &nbsp;The () being full of variables. &nbsp;From what I have been able to find on the BTRV is that it is a microsoft floating &quot;something&quot;. &nbsp;Which is odd, because you can install the compiled program onto any windows based system just by copiing the program into any directory of your choice and it works fine. &nbsp;However, when I goto try and recompile the program from the source code that I have in QB, I get a &quot;CALL BTRV NOT DEFINED&quot; error. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Anyway, I am thinking that if I was to get the version of BTRIEVE that the program was written for, this would help. &nbsp;I am also looking into creating DDF's. &nbsp;But if I can get the BTRV call to work, then I can use QB to write to the flat file.<br />

Anyone got a good idea?

I'm trying to hunt down BTRIEVE RECORD MANAGER v4.11b suite.  I am trying to understand a program that was written in QuickBasic.

In the program I can see where the programmer has set his types to match the fields in the BTR files, but what I don't understand is a CALL in the program called BTRV ().  The () being full of variables.  From what I have been able to find on the BTRV is that it is a microsoft floating "something".  Which is odd, because you can install the compiled program onto any windows based system just by copiing the program into any directory of your choice and it works fine.  However, when I goto try and recompile the program from the source code that I have in QB, I get a "CALL BTRV NOT DEFINED" error.

BTRIEVE RECORD MANAGER v4.11b - QuickBasic BTRV call?

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.

COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) is a programming language with English-like syntax. It is readable but verbose compared to other programming languages. CODASYL (Conference on Data Systems Languages) created COBOL in 1959 based on design work from Grace Hopper. It was standardized in 1968. COBOL is still present in large-scale batch processing and transaction processing where legacy applications are being used, usually in government, financial, and administrative systems.
