I agree with Brian. Blink errors are VERY bad. If you can get the 2 dbs in a stable state with no users on either system, copying is fine. Other than that, Brian has the right idea.
Blink errors can be the kiss of death, so be careful.

On the Prod box we have a samba share that is pointing to the Dev box and we have voc entries pointing to Dev files. But when I execute a command such as: Copy from <file> to Test.<file> The records will copy over to the Dev box, but it always results in a Blink error. Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it? Henry M.

I can't copy the code into the post because of copyright purposes, but this is the dictionary item: 0001: I 0002: IF CASE.PERSON.ID # "" THEN SUBR("CJ.READ.PERSON",CASE.PERSON.ID,1,"") E LSE "" 0003: S;*;"*** No Defendant ***" 0004: Defendant 0005: 30L 0006: S The dictionary item referenced by the I-descriptor: 0001: A 0002: 1 0003: CASE.PERSON.ID 0004: 0005: M 0006: 0007: 0008: 0009: R 0010: 8 0011: 0012: COMMON Attribute 1 should be single-valued but there are 27 records in this file that have multiple values in this field. On our in-house system, we also have a handful of records that have multiple values in this field, and I can't recreate the problem here. There are commons involved in the subroutine referenced by the I-descriptor. This issue just came to me and the people who worked on it before did all of the data related things I would have done: searched for control characters, fix tool, deleted the file then recreated it, etc. I don't know if I've provided enough information to explain the problem....but has anyone seen this? If you've experienced an application-related blink error, I'd be interested in hearing from you.
