Hi all,

is this something I should be aware of, or am I doing domething wrong ?!

Access a file using v7.09e when the file does not actually exist, and quiz
says :

------------------------------------------------
Q U I Z   (XL7.09.E)       Level 90
Copyright 1992 COGNOS INCORPORATED

> DUMP IDR3-T101
*E* Data access error. (IDR3-T101)
*E* NONEXISTENT PERMANENT FILE  (FSERR 52) (IDR3-T101)
>
------------------------------------------------

Access a file using v8.19c when the file does not actually exist, and quiz
says :

------------------------------------------------

Q U I Z   (PowerHouse  8.19.C3)
Copyright 1998 COGNOS INCORPORATED
COSWORTH RACING LIMITED

> DUMP IDR3-T101
*E* The file open type is inconsistent with the data dictionary type.
(IDR3-T101)
> E

------------------------------------------------

Why the change, is my message catalog up the creek or is this the ways
things now are?


Thanks in advance,
