Yes. It is a broken file. Records have a header that contain a forward pointer and a backward pointer. The backward pointer is the address of the previous record XOR'd with the record length as an integrity check. Unless you are comfortable with file internals and using filepeek, its time to backup the file and run fixtool.

Yeah but yesterday I was seeking information on an "Blink error" with the ominous "internal data error" clause added in both the U2 and AIX areas and was unable to find anything. Anyone have a clue as to what this might be?

Subject: [U2] Access IBM Knowledge base

All,

I remember we had a discussion on the accessibility to the IBM
knowledge
base several weeks ago. Yesterday, I received my IBM user ID from our
vendor (tech support), which allows me to view the locked articles in
IBM KB. I believe this user list has very positive impact on this move
made by IBM. IBM KB should be opened to everybody, I think.

I would like to thank the people for their hard working in order to
maintain this user mail list. The list is a wonderful place for us to
share our knowledge. Meanwhile, it provides a communication channel so that IBM could hear our voices. I have learnt a lot from the others via
the list.

Kathy
