-461 File open error.

The database server could not open a file required to execute this statement. Sometimes this is a general error, possibly referring to a message file that the database server cannot find. At other times this error occurs because the locator (blob) structure field loc_loctype was set to LOCFNAME, but the database server could not open the file using the pathname in loc_fname and the flags in loc_oflags. Any of the following conditions can cause the database server to report this error:

* An environment variable setting is missing.

* Not enough disk space is available for opening the file.

* A file permission problem exists.

* The limit on the number of open files was reached.

* The database server could not access a blob of type LOCFNAME.

* The database server is on a different machine from the client.

* The statement transfers a value between a file and a BYTE or TEXT column.

* The statement attempts to drop a database when a required file is not available.

Make sure your environment variables and file permissions are set correctly. For more information, check for any accompanying ISAM error code or operating-system message.
