One of the ways that I've used in the past to check for @VM's, @SVM's, and @TM's is to do a simple SELECT of the file, a SAVE.LIST, then EDIT.LIST. A simple scan usually shows the errant record ID's because they are usually longer than the rest of the record ID's making them stick out like a sore thumb.
You could also make an I-descriptor that just does a DCOUNT on @ID. Then you can simply select the I-descriptor for the "bad" keys. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Austin Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2013 1:50 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] UvRestore error The examples I posted below appear to be when it builds the INDEX on the table CLIENT.
