Hi Glen, This is the output when we first ran across the problem:
0008 Program "FIS00200": Line 551, Internal data error. 0009 Program "FIS00200": Line 555, Internal data error. 0010 Program "FIS00200": Line 555, WRITE failure. Line 551 is a MATREADU from the file, and line 555 is a MATWRITE to the file. This file is a an archive of another file, so there cannot be any invalid characters in the key. We just ran fixtool on the file, which claimed to have found 657 errors and fixed 649 : Start Diagnostics. 0 Errors found in physical structure. 0 Errors found in file header. 0 Errors found in primary groups. 654 Errors found in data. 3 Other errors found in file. 657 Errors on file. Start Fixing. 649 Errors fixed. Fixtool Completed. but when I did a COUNT of the file there were still problems: WARNING: Internal file corruption detected during SCAN operation! Invalid pad length detected within record block! Filename: JOBHIST Group offset: 3575808 (0x0) Key: Abnormal termination of UniVerse. Fault type is 11. Layer type is Query. I am getting the sysadmin to run the fixtool command again.... thanks for your help, Glenn Herbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED] on 01 Sep 2004 15:24 Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: bcc: Subject: Re: RE: [U2] Universe file size limit I have a version of 9.6 (and beyond!) running here on an hp 11.11i with a few large files that exceed 4 gig (one is around 20 gig) with no problems; note that these files aren't exercised all that much as I don't really play around with this stuff much anymore. Additionally, we have a number of DS end users who have files that regularly exceed this size and don't have issues, so I'm sure it's something specific to your system. I don't recall you mentioning what the exact error was other than it being an internal data error, so maybe posting the entire message might jiggle some latent memory somewhere..... ************************************************************ HSBC Bank plc Registered Office: 8 Canada Square, London E14 5HQ Registered in England - Number 14259 Authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority Member of the HSBC Bank marketing group.
