Hi,

We are on Solaris, running Universe and had a system failure the other day
which affected one of our distributed files. After running a uvfixfile on
the first partfile, we still got the message "Warning: No link to overflow
group 325598". We were able to count/select the file without problems, but
were uneasy about the error.

We created new files as a backup then did a COPY of the data to the backup
files. After completing the copies, we removed the old distributed file and
all of the old part files, then setup a new distribution with the copied
data. 

Now if we run a uvfixfile on the newly created first partfile, we receive
the message "Warning: No link to overflow group 325599". Why we still have
this error after creating a brand new file set is beyond us.

In addition, we had an open file error during program execution. After
tracing through the debugger, there is a program that does a file open, then
calls a subroutine that opens the file again. The first open succeeds, the
second fails. (why we are doing a double open is well, dumb, but that's
another issue). Even more bizzare, if we create a test program that does an
open, and another test program that re-opens the file, both open statements
succeeed. We are at a loss and are very uneasy with the current situation.

Has anyone ever experienced any similar events? We would appreciate any
guidance you may have to share. We have escalated within our software group,
which will hopefully be escalated to Rocket for resolution. We wanted to
post here also in the hope we might find some resolution.

Much appreciation for your time.
