Hi,

I'm trying to save some data using dbm, dbm_open creates the file but the
returned file handle is null.  The same code works in Unix/Linux.  Here's
the code:

        dbm_local = dbm_open (database, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 00664);
        if(dbm_local)
        {
          strcpy(buffer, "CurrentOrderNumber");
          key.dptr = buffer;
          key.dsize = strlen(buffer)+1;
          return_data = dbm_fetch(dbm_local, key);
          if(return_data.dptr)
            sprintf(count, "%d", atoi(return_data.dptr)+1);
          else
            strcpy(count, "1");
          data_data.dptr = count;
          data_data.dsize = strlen(count)+1;
          dbm_store(dbm_local, key, data_data, DBM_REPLACE);
          dbm_close (dbm_local);
        }

Thanks
