Accessing an A.05.x database via eloqdb5 returns (S(0)=-700 or S(0)=-1)

• S(0) = -700

  The S(0) = -700 indicates a general problem to connect the server. One reason for this error might be caused by a wrong VOLUME definition. Please note that the syntax for the database name passed to the DBOPEN statement has changed with A.06.xx

  To access a database form Eloquence A.05.x you need to define:
  VOLUME DBVOL : DBVOL /path/to/the/database
  while Eloquence A.06.x requires
  VOLUME DBVOL : DBVOL servername:eloqdb5/path/to/the/database
  

• S(0) = -1:

  No such database. Database is currently opened in an incompatible mode. Bad root file reference. Database opened exclusively.

  This ERROR can occur if a referenced VOLUME is defined in a local .eloqrc file and the HOME environment variable is not set in the IDE debug session.
