Can somebody please help???
The following is a small piece of code in Think C 4.0.
Why can't I get it to work?

  #define SFSaveDisk    0x214	/*low memory global*/
  myCInfoPBRec   myInfoRec;
  Str255         directoryName;	


  myInfoRec.dirInfo.ioNamePtr = directoryName;
  myInfoRec.dirInfo.ioDrDirID=MyCurDir;  /* from SFGetFile as in DTS SC 018 */
  myInfoRec.dirInfo.ioFDirIndex = -1;   /*directories only*/
  myInfoRec.dirInfo.ioVRefNum =(-*(short *)SFSaveDisk);
  error=PBGetCatInfo(&myInfoRec,false);
  if (error != noErr) SysBeep(10);
/*I was making a few changes here, but even when they were
removed, the problem didn't go away*/
  error=PBSetCatInfo(&myInfoRec,false);
  if (error != noErr) Debugger();

When I run this code, no error is detected on the PBSetCatInfo call and
the CInfoPBRec appears to be correctly filled in, but PBSetCatInfo
returns error=FFD5 a fnfError (file not found).  Does anybody have
any idea why?  This has been driving me crazy for hours!!

Thanks.
       Tom
