External damage means that the processor microcode LIC file loaded during system startup is corrupted in some way and that the internal checking of the parts of that file failed, but since it was able to correct the problem and keep running, it appears to be only a partial failure. I've also seen this problem caused by a faulty control store memory chip in the CPC. Either case, what you need to do is call your field CE RIGHT NOW before the disk and/or control store hardware completely fails and have him/her get a backup of the customer data and configuration data, then run the CE CPC diagnostics on the CPC cards. You're looking at an immanent hardware failure that will be hard (or at least VERY time-consuming) to fix if you don't get a good backup ASAP. =- db
