You were right about the condition. I changed it to: check e and then I 
check card->mcard_hdl. Besides there was another problem:

int I::formatCard()
{
  int e;

  mcard_t mcard;
  mcard.mcard_hdl = 0;
  e = mcard_open(&mcard);
  if( e ) return -1;
...
}

When I create variable mcard it includes one element that is checked in mcard_open function. While it is created it isn't set to false. mcard_open checks the element if it is false. I found that during creation element is set to random value, so mcard_open return before completion.

Thanks for help!!;)

PS. Andrew  thanks also for your tips;)
