7.10 ISAM "Feature Unavailable" Error in OS/2 Protected Mode (71261)
This article was previously published under Q71261
SUMMARY
Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) version 7.10
provides support for OS/2 protected-mode ISAM file handling via the
PROISAMP.DLL dynamic link library (DLL).
If the PROISAMP.DLL library is not in a directory specified in the
OS/2 LIBPATH environment variable, Basic will not be able to locate
the protected-mode ISAM library and will report a "Feature
unavailable" error as soon as it attempts to execute an ISAM
statement.
This information applies to the Microsoft Basic Professional
Development System version 7.10 for MS OS/2.
MORE INFORMATION
The OS/2 environment variable LIBPATH is similar to the MS-DOS PATH
environment variable, but LIBPATH lists the directories that OS/2
searches for dynamic link libraries (DLLs). Note that OS/2 does not
automatically search the current directory for DLLs unless you specify
it in the LIBPATH. LIBPATH cannot be changed from the OS/2 command
line; it must be altered in the CONFIG.SYS file and the system
restarted in order to effect a change to LIBPATH.
If you do not want to change the LIBPATH setting, you can also copy
the Basic protected-mode DLLs into your OS/2 DLL directory, which is
usually "C:\OS2\DLL".
