The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
As I understand it, the whole point of level-checking is to make sure
that programs using native RLA to access a file don't access it
according to incompatible meta-data.
If you're doing all your access through SQL, or you have full control
over revisions, and/or full runtime access to the meta-data, then you
probably don't need level checking.
And the simplest way to bypass it in native RLA, if you're only
accessing the portion of a record format that is "etched in stone" (or
you can deal with an unformatted buffer at runtime), is to treat the
file as program-described. It's a technique we use all the time; it
works extremely well if you know what you're doing.
