RE: [U2] [UD] Possible causes of corrupt data on a UniData static file
Ed, I have dealt with UniData file corruption in the past and it can be quite difficult to get a handle on it. I have seen files get corrupted by memory failures, processor failures, and disk failures. If this is not due to a hardware issue a file can be corrupted,(or at least used to be corrupted depend on your release) by performing a unix copy (cp -rp) on a file that is being updated, and running guide against a file that me be in use. There could be more issues that haven't been listed. I have also found that running guide against a corrupt file does not always fix the file. In some cases a second check against a file by guide has turned up more errors. There are times when a file has been corrupted, guide can't fix it. I usually make a copy of the file, clear it, and copy the records into it, and run guide against this file. The fact that AE will let you access a record only means the editor can read the record. If you try to change something in the record and file it, you will see errors. We don't use triggers, so I can't comment on that.

RE: [U2] [UD] Possible causes of corrupt data on a UniData static file
[demime could not interpret encoding quoted-printable - treating as plain text] My guess is that you have real records with real Ids that you can access. Then you have other records that appear to have the same Ids but really don't. It sounds like these other records are hashed into the wrong groups - hence your inability to access them. I would try creating another file with a different modulo then copy the records from the current file to this new one. They should re-hash, and then maybe you can get to them.

RE: [U2] [UD] Possible causes of corrupt data on a UniData static file
Can UniData TRIGGERS be problematic? In the past, I wrote a trigger that would launch a UniData function that would (eventually) generate XML with a UniQuery statement, then POST the XML using submitRequest to a secure site, take the XML that was returned in the RESPONSE.DATA parameter and write it somewhere - all before finishing the original trigger that called this stuff. That never caused corruption. Am I near any limits or anything that you are aware of? Are there any known issues with UPDATE triggers that write to records that have UPDATE triggers?

Re: [U2] [UD] Possible causes of corrupt data on a UniData static file
Is guide only available on UD ? It does not work with UV (10.0). Is there a similar command available in UV? Thanks!
