Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Message:      RT041
 
  Text:         Corrupt indexed file
 
  Severity:     Recoverable
 
  Explanation:  Your run-time system does not recognize the control
                information for an indexed file and as the index has
                been corrupted in some way the data within the file is
                no longer accessible by your system.  This error is
                recoverable in the sense that it can be trapped but
                should you receive it there is little you can do
                except to close any open files and stop your program's
                run.
 
  Resolution:   You will have to rerun your program using the backup
                copy of that file.  If you have added a great deal of
                information to the file since you last took a backup
                you may like to rebuild the file using the Rebuild
                utility, which will read the data (if this has not been
                corrupted) and build a new index for it. See
                also ◄REBUILD►
