Can anybody please explain me why I am hitting \'I/O error 998\' in the below block read?

Hi: I had the same issue and i simply passed it the first element of the buffer which is the starting point for the memory block like so:

    AssignFile(BinFile,binFileName);
    reset(BinFile,sizeof(Double));
    Aux:=length(numberArray);
    blockread(BinFile,numberArray[0],Aux, numRead);
    closefile(BinFile);
