I'm sure it is obvious, but did you double check that the
pointer is actually valid? I know FileMan just returns a number
if the pointer is not actually pointing somewhere.
Let's say the number displaying is 1532. Since the root for the
PATIENT file (#2) is "^DPT(" then I would like to know if
MUMPS> W ^DPT(1532,0),!
produces an error, or if it produces a line.
If it produces an error, you don't have an valid pointer.
by the way, an error in GT.M looks like:
%GTM-E-GVUNDEF, Global variable undefined: ^DPT(2,1532,0)
I don't have my Cache box available to remind you what the error
in Cache looks like, sorry.
