https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/Error-55-Delete-error/m-p/972026#M24212 I am converting an old MFPS 5.0 application to CFV. The application does BACKSPACE and ENDFILE processing on direct access files. I thought I could use the DELETE verb to remedy this. I get a Error 55 which does not provide much help. Do I have to turn the fpscomp compiler option on and use the code as is? I really don't want to.

This also requires that you rewrite the file, as this adds an extra byte for a delete flag.<BR /><BR />Steve Wed, 31 Oct 2001 08:41:52 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/Error-55-Delete-error/m-p/972027#M24213 Steven_L_Intel1 2001-10-31T08:41:52Z
