Hi! I am trying to get an assembler program running that will
read the entries in a sub-directory. I am running on an IBM
PC/XT that is using DOS 2.1. I have set up an extended FCB with
the attribute byte set for system+readonly+directory permission.
The DOS Technical manual says this will allow directories to be
accessed. I am using function 0F to open the directory FCB after
I stick the directory name in the name field. After opening, it
gets the date of the directory stored and no errors are returned.
I set the record size to 32 bytes and the current block and
record to zero, I then try to read the directory file with function
14 but get error code for no data read.
Anybody got any suggestions or pointers to help me figure out
what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance for all help.
