IF you encountered the problem I described below, it could also be corrected in a 'live' file (vs restoring from backup) using the UniData fileview utility. In this case the modulo in the file header of the dat001 file would need to be adjusted to match the current modulo recorded in the file header of the over001 file.
If anyone is interested in the details - if mrparkland wants to provide the output of the following commands run on a the problem version of the file, I could provide the repair syntax: >From the shell in the account directory where the INVOICES file lives: fileview -p1 INVOICES fileview -o1 INVOICES regards, Wally Terhune U2 Support Architect Rocket Software 4700 S.

This is fixed at 7.2.5 by a change to CONFIGURE.FILE to not allow this setting to occur. So: either upgrade to 7.2.5 or don't use CONFIGURE.FILE to change MINIMUM.MODULO setting to a number smaller than the original modulo - on a file that has the potential for merging. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
