Re: Informix DS 7.24 Missing DBspace/chunk

According to what you are saying the chunk already exists. If the dbspace in question shows in an onstat -d, and you are having problems dropping it, you are running into a bug. Most likely the dbspace has become null terminated. You need to call informix software to have them help you fix this.
