While storing a value to a dbm file (hash file) I get this error:
"ndbm store returned -1, errno 28, key "11000-120" at excond.pl line
313, <INFILE> line 331."
I think I may have reached the limit to the amount of data I can store
in a record. What is this limit? 2K? I don't think I have more than 1024
bytes in my record.
1024 > 1008
I do have ascii values 1, 2, and 9 in there, they are used as field
separators and subfield separators. 9 is tab. Aren't any ascii values
allowed in the data?
This is how I'm opening the hash file:
$dbfile="cond";
dbmopen(%data,"$dbfile",0666) || die "Could not open dbm file $dbfile.
$!.";
$data{$key}=$s; # where $s contains my data
Thank you.
From "perldoc NDBM_File":
There are a number of limits on the size of the data that you can store
in the NDBM file. The most important is that the length of a key, plus
the length of its associated value, may not exceed 1008 bytes.
