This was what I needed. Since it was a test file, no worries... tx again,

It's quick and easy (unless it's a really big file) and actually "fixes" a number of problems. Make sure no one accesses the file during the resize - it will just make it worse. I would then try running guide on the file (at the command prompt CD to the directory where the file lives and GUIDE LF -O). If any errors exist they will be in the GUIDE_ERRORS.LIS file. It will also create the GUIDE_FIXUP.DAT file that you will need in the next step. If errors still exist, run FIXFILE -dfixfile.txt -f. This will dump and reload all of the groups it found with an error during the guide. You may lose this record - you can try saving it to a temp file first (in AE you can "SV 'temp.file' 'temp.id'". Make sure you take a copy of the file before doing anything and make sure no one accesses the file during these steps - just in case. See the Administering UniData on Windows documentation for more help with file corruption. hth Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005 7:32 AM >To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org >Subject: [U2] Unidata file corruption > > I have a file used in testing whcih I must have copied while >a lock was on. > When I try to delete or save a record in the file I get this error: > In D:\UNIDATA\sys\CTLG\a\AE_AE at line 2204 2:block error >error in writeshort fo r file 'LF', key ' ', number=204537856 >In D:\UNIDATA\sys\CTLG\a\AE_AE at line 2204 1:block error >error in modify_record for file 'LF', key '292180400101001', >number=29802496 In D:\UNIDATA\sys\CTLG\a\AE_AE at line 2204 >1:block error error in U_append_strt uple for file 'LF', key >'292180400101001', number=1818 [AE] UniBasic WRITE failed, >STATUS=1, check triggers. > > I can edit the record but can't save it or delete it.
