DBCMD/1015 Argument error: DBUSEAREA

[Patrick Duclos]

Good day to all!

I have a strange bug I can't seem to fix for the time being...

Error DBCMD/1015 Argument error: DBUSEAREA
Called from DBUSEAREA(0)
Called from GETDATE(121)
Called from (b)TEMPLATE(143)

TEMPLATE(143) => bungoption("Calendrier",{||GetDate(DATE(),"DEFAULT
CALENDAR")})

GETDATE(121) =>

IF VALTYPE(dStartDate)<>"D"
dStartDate := DATE()
ELSE
IF EMPTY(dStartDate)
dStartDate := DATE()
ENDIF
ENDIF
dCalcDate := dStartDate
121==> DBUSEAREA(.T.,"COMIX","YEAR"+STR(YEAR(dStartDate),4,0),,.T.,.T.)

The GetDate() function is a Superlib function which I modified to
display a
company calendar of events. This obj file is shared among different
programs and
works great, except in a template program I'm making with default
functions (such as
the Calendar, calculator, help, about, etc). In that template program
it gives me
the above mentionned error code.

I've checked "YEAR"+STR(YEAR(dStartDate),4,0) and it gives YEAR1999 and
I've checked
with File("YEAR"+STR(YEAR(dStartDate),4,0)+".dbf") and I get TRUE!

My PbMake link script includes file cmx52.obj and lib cmx52 like all my
other
programs. I use Clipper 5.2e (however my NG gives no reference to
DBCMD/1015) and
Blinker 3.3

I've checked DejaNews and found nothing to help me. I don't need to put
REQUEST COMIX
RDDSETDEFAULT("COMIX")
at the beginning of my program since it is linked in and is the default
(just like
in my other programs which work fine).
I don't see what parameter is giving me trouble since the same function
works fine elsewhere!

Any help or hints would be graciously appreciated!

<REPLY>
From the NG for CL5.3:
DBCMD/1015:
Argument error.

EXPLANATION: You attempted to select a linked-in driver with USE
VIA, but failed to REQUEST it.

ACTION: Correct the program.

As an aside, I noticed when I got 5.3 that a number of the error
numbers I get with 5.2 (which is the version I use) are included in the NG
for 5.3, but not in the NG for 5.2. I surmise they started using the
error messages before they published them. Anyone know any different?

HTH.
