let's take some possibilities. 1. the verify succeeds - there are no hanging end of file or paritial splits or fatal errors. wha happened to the blocks that had not been written to dasd yet - well, they are gone into the bit bucket in the sky. 2. the verify succeeds - and operations is rerunning the exact same job - some of the updates are going double update - some inserts will fail as duplicate, totals have wrong values.
status 97 means that a job abended and nothing has been done to recover the file. That is usually not a good thing. -- Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
