Spurious error 197?

IDS9.30HC5, HPUX 11i, 4GL 7.20 Just had this on one of our test systems when writing to a table: ===================================================================== -197 ISAM error: Partition recently appended to; can't open for write or logging. If this internal error recurs, please note all circumstances and contact Technical Support at tsmail@us.ibm.com. ===================================================================== .... but we haven't added any chunks or anything. Tried a checkpoint and a logical log (Oh how the immature techies laugh when you tell them you're going to force a log to see what happens. sigh.) but still got the error (both INSERT and UPDATE); it cleared when I did a level-0 to /dev/null. There are no blobs or varchars or anything nasty on the table, and no untoward messages in the online log - the instance has been up happily for the last week. Anyone seen this before? I'll raise a tech support case but they won't be that interested as the fault has cleared up. Cheers Malc
