dbAppend() spurious errors

Bobby's Medallion program occasionally gets a runtime error when calling dbAppend(1).
There is no error information except a gencode of 8999.
Has anyone experienced this error?

maybe this will help:
5xxx - ???:
===========
5381 - [BASE] - ???
Associated with (non-standard) Gen Error: "8999"
Can be caused by: "OrdCreate()" when Tag Name is longer than allowed (e.g. 11 characters for a CDX Index)
Can be caused by: "DbAppend()" when database (session) is opened via PGDBE
Remarks: NOT Listed in PDRs 109-4341 and 109-6356

Thanks, but that's no help.
Those conditions don't exist.

I get this now and then. It is usually a corrupted index. I manually delete the index and Bobby's Usedb() recreates it. Problem solved.

Hi,
I noticed the same as Bob. If a db... error (dbappend,dbgoto,dbskip,...) appears, recreating the index files solves it.
