Synonym

I had never used a synonym until recently. As part of my backup routine I perform a integrity checks using/resulting in: STUDENT - CHECK TABLE INDEXES AND ROWIDS IN INDEX; CHECK TBLSPACE DATA ROWS INCLUDING BITMAPS, REMAINING PAGES AND BLOBS: tbcheck -cI -cD -q student WARNING:No syscolauth records found. ISAM error: no record found.ERROR: No table found for syssynonyms record. Tabid 192 Server name Database name gradsch Owner informix Table name studname Tabid of base table -2147483648 GRADSCH - CHECK TABLE INDEXES AND ROWIDS IN INDEX; CHECK TBLSPACE DATA ROWS INCLUDING BITMAPS, REMAINING PAGES AND BLOBS: tbcheck -cI -cD -q gradsch WARNING:No syscolauth records found.

WARNING:TBLSpace gradsch:informix.snaplog has more than 8 extents. CHECK RESERVED PAGES: tbcheck -cr -q As you can see, I have some problems. My immediate concern is the messages resulting from checking the 'student' database. These did not occur until I had created a synonym in the 'student' database that referred to a table in the 'gradsch' database. The perform screen works fine that uses the synonym to do a lookup between the two databases. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Dick ~
