I am getting an error message 'sdbm store returned -1, error 22, key "rather long key" at perlprog.pl line 54' when adding a new record to an existing library. I had always thought that this error (22) meant that the total record length (key + value) exceeded the 1k limit for SDBM. However there are two reasons to doubt this. These are:
1. The total record length is only 824 bytes, 43 of which are the key. 2. If I start with an empty library, I can happily save this record. I have tried to determine if the record already exists in the library (it doesn't). I have tried to "merge the existing library with the "new" single record library that I am able to create, but the merge process also fails with error 22. Does this error stand for any other case (if so, what)? How can I get around / fix the problem? Any suggestions would be most welcome. Geoff
