RE: [U2] [ud] Create Index Error
David, Sounds like the Header record has been updated with the Index Counter but the X_Filename was never created. Quick and easy way is to copy an existing X_Otherfile to X_Filename then use DELETE.INDEX. When I first started working at UniData I created a utility to zero out the Index Counter out of the Header record by simply writing a CHAR(0) to the correct byte offset. Thanks, David A.

RE: [U2] [ud] Create Index Error
Actually - it turned out the issue was that the X_filename **existed** at zero bytes! We did the fileviw -p1 filename per Susan's note, and found the index said 0 -- but since the X_filename existed... THAT was where the error was!! We deleted the X_filename and all was well... Thanks!! Had you not mentioned moving ANOTHER X_filename in, I would not have noticed the current one at 0 bytes. And 'fileview' was a GREAT call... (But I'll probably still log it at IBM as an 'isn't it odd that...' G) --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
