IFMX 10.00.UC8 AIX 5.2 I have a customer with four servers with identical software on each. Without any new code being introduced, we started getting -211 errors last Friday. Online log is not reporting anything and I cannot find any locks being held (when the ISAM error was being reported, it was concerning a lock). It has been a long, long time since I ran into one of these errors. Any ideas? Take care. Clifton M.

I'd start by running oncheck -cc <database>. After that I'd consider trapping for the error with onmode -I 211 (onmode -i will unset the error trap once the af file is generated)and looking at the diagnostics. I think the onmode -I cmd is undocumented so you might wanna call support if oncheck -cc doesn't reveal anything. Mike
