I have a question regarding random access text files.
I would like to know how I can calculate how much data
I will be able to store on a disk. I am using a record
length of 100 bytes. Of course some records may contain
less but that is the maximum.
Secondly, if I attempt to save a new record but the disk
is full, can I take advantage of 'ONERR' to find that the
disk is full and inform the user to insert a new disk?
I like to use random access because some of the fields in
particular records may be changed frequently.
Any help from experienced users would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance. Regards.
