jBase file read failure

HELP!

Running jBase 5.8.5 on Windows.  No recent changes to operating system or hardware. Making minor code changes in an order entry program that we've run for years. Modified code, re-compiled and re-cataloged six times this morning.  After last re-compile the program no longer processes any of the file READs in the program!!!   Put an "on error" capture on the READ commands and get error message "file not found".  Files are there and will LIST correctly.  Other programs can access and read the files.

jDiag attached.

All help will be appreciated as we are dead in the water without the order entry system!

Mark,
Check that you have not accidentally mangled the file name in your source code.

Also, I think you sent the wrong attachment.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for the prompt response. Glad to see that Rocket jBase has kept
Zumasys support staff!!

The problem seems to occur in subroutines called by control entries. This
is a quick example:


20 PRINT @(20,3):"---":@(20,3):
***ECHO OFF
INPUT OPER (MZ ENTERED)
*** ECHO ON
IF OPER = "END" THEN STOP
READ OPERF FROM F.OPER,OPER ELSE
PRINT CLEAN:BELL:"OPERATOR ":OPER:" NOT ON FILE. HIT RETURN.":
(CODE ADDED) EXECUTE "SORT OPERATOR *A1"
INPUT X; GOTO 10
END



PROGRAM RESULT:

OPERATOR MZ NOT ON FILE. HIT RETURN.



SORT RESULT:

OPERATOR...... *A1...........
MZ AP
CU
IV
OE


It won't read any files from within the programs but I can list/sort/ct the
files with no problem!

Working on a program today I edited/compiled/cataloged it 5 times and it
ran. after the 6th edit, which was a formatting change, it crashed, unable
to read from the same files it had 10 minutes earlier!

Needless to say, I'm puzzled.

Thank you for the suggestions.  Recompiling and re cataloging solved the problems with my code but now none of the jBase programs (ie. FTSERVER, WED) will run.  What could I have buggered up in the process?
