In the past when we had problems like this, we would create a small
index on a file somewhere else. We would then copy the X_file to the
appropriate name and location of the broken one. (There by
substituting it temporarily)
At that point you can do your DELETE.INDEX file ALL
We (S7) always recommend that indexes be completely rebuilt from
scratch when migrating to new platforms.

Hello all,
I have a client that migrated from True64 to AIX a few
weeks ago (I wasn't involved with the migration). They are
currently having a problem with an index corruption on a static
file. Unidata will not allow me to do a LIST, LIST.INDEX,
DELETE.INDEX, or anything else I've tried on the file, giving me
the error "Index: /path/X_filename has damaged index entries Open
file error." I tried renaming the X_filename index file and
repeating the above. The error messages now say "Index: open index
file /path/X_filename error (2) Open file error." Lots of
help. I've tried running guide_ndx on it, and it simply tells me
it has errors. Lots more help.
Unidata version is 6.1.11 on AIX (uname says AIX 570 3 5 ....). Any
suggestions on how to get rid of the index or retrieving the data
from the file to build a new file/index would be greatly appreciated.
Kevin
