Error 114 recovery

[michaelgreer]

I have files which are showing error 114.  When I attempt to use *UFAR it complains about error 114 and won't proceed (I can check the file successfully).  Any insight on how to recover the data or fix the file is appreciated.

It details the best way to try to recover keyed files.

Devon,

Already reviewed that.  Unfortunately I cannot open the file (throws error 114) so I cannot use KEYED LOAD.

Did you also try the filxvlr2 program?

[michaelgreer]

Sure did. It just threw a bunch of errors and recovered 0 records.

If an open fails, you will need to open the file in binary mode, for example:

open input(1,isz=1)"filename"

Then use read record(1,siz=size)d$ to read the binary contents (size needs to be a multiple of 256 and a file has a file header, key blocks, inventory blocks, data blocks, etc).  Assuming you know what the data looks like, you can then search 'd$'.
