White Papers: PSQL/Zen Errors and Status Codes

By: Bill Bach

The Actian PSQL/Zen database engine can return hundreds of different "Btrieve Status Codes" under normal operations. Many of these status codes are indicators to the application developer, such as "0: Success", "4: Record Not Found", and "9: End of File". A good developer will handle these status code values in their code, displaying a useful error message where appropriate.

Other status codes, however, can be returned when unusual situations arise, and these are often not handled by the application. (These are more akin to true "error codes".) Instead, the application may spit out the raw status code number to the screen in a message like "Btrieve Status 2", making it very difficult to know exactly what to do to fix it.

Of course, all of the Status Codes are documented in the online manuals, but sometimes you just need to do a quick lookup. You can find our Status Code Lookup tool on our Mobile web site, optimized for fast access from your smart phone. Point your phone or browser to http://m.goldstarsoftware.com to get started now!

The documents on this page contain some of the more common status or error codes, along with some suggestions on how to fix them. Of course, Goldstar Software also provides support for the PSQL/Zen database products, and if these instructions get a bit too technical for you, then give us a call and (for a small fee) we can help get your system up and running again fast!
