Tbcheck will exit() with a code of 1 in any situation but a complete, error- free run; that is not to say that it finds a problem while checking, but rather that it encounters an error such as (non exhaustive list): - tbcheck has not been branded - you are not informix or root (some operations) - the path for the config file is too long (> 128) - the config file cannot be opened/read - you ask to dump a page and the tblspace id, table name, chunk number, rowid, or page num is bogus You may have already checked this, but be sure the permissions for tbcheck are: -rwxr-sr-x 2 informix informix 630784 Apr 20 1993 tbcheck Dave Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this message are not those of Informix Software, its partners or lackeys.
