After extensive effort, creating an example to send to IBM we believe we have found the problem.
One of our files had a trigger. Due to this the big/little endian conversion, using CONVERT.FORMAT did not seem to completely work. However this was not obvious. We thought we had reconverted all files with triggers, but maybe we missed this one. The following commands worked without obvious problems. uvbackup COUNT BAD.FILE CT BAD.FILE * LIST BAD.FILE SORT BAD.FILE However FILE.STAT BAD.FILE failed with a message, but did not terminate the session. uvfixfile did not appear to do anything. No error, just nothing. ACCOUNT.FILE.STATS worked without obvious error but the output in STAT.FILE showed incomplete information. The result of this was that basic programs failed intermittently which made this very, very difficult to track down. I will be raising this with IBM as I believe it is a bug.
