Hi Ben There are about 12 tables that loose all rows. I picked one table and unload all for that tab and it worked OK.
I did get a good unload file, reloaded the db to make sure it was clean. Then, unload with writechk on and bye bye rows of data. The out put file is 10% of the good unload file. I must have a strange db. thanks marc --- Ben Petersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mark, > > If error messages are on you could edit the output > file with RCode and > search for "Error" to see if there is anything > obvious. > > Another thought would be to unload the structure > separately for the problem > table and edit it so that it creates a new DB when > run.
