I found what I believed was the offending shipment and copied it out and back, uvfixfile reported another id, I just deleted that shipment since it was open and can be regenerated. When I run UFF I get:
>UVFIXFILE SHIPMENTS Beginning TRACE of SHIPMENTS/SHIPMENTS. ERROR: Processing Primary group 3786, Overflow group 134428. Invalid group buffer chain at address 0x1068e000.

I think it stands for backward link (blink). Simply listing or selecting the file will fail when it hits the offending data. If you can detect the key that is failing, the "simple" solution used to be to try to copy the record to a temp file, delete the original record (which fixes the link), then copy it back. If that fails, you will likely need to run the fix file utility. Again, I have not seen this in 10 years or so, so my memory may be a little off. Good luck!

Never seen this error message before, no sure on the severity but I hope it's easy to fix: File 'E:\dbms\LIVE\DATAFLO/SHIPMENTS/SHIPMENTS': Computed blink of 0x765800 does not match expected blink of 0x765000!
