Shawn,
 
This could be caused by a few things:
 
    -   does the dataset actually exist? (probably, since your DBGET
            worked :)  )
    -   does security on the dataset prevent access?
    -   too many other files open by the process?

I am suddenly getting a strange DBDELETE error, and I cannot for the life of
me figure out what the problem is, the DBGET and DBLOCK prior to it are just
fine.  There's no backup going on, and a couple of people are in the
database, but no locks are held.  All locking is at the set level, and I am
doing unconditional locks.  Here is the message.
 
 TURBOIMAGE ERROR AT $0000ddb4; RETURN STATUS = -1
 DBDELETE, MODE 1, ON MAIL-D OF FYIDB.PUB.SMGA
 MPE FILE ERROR 0 RETURNED BY FOPEN ON DATA SET #6
 
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Shawn
