FABP0040E COUNTER VALUE < NUMBER OF LCHILD

Explanation

The database is probably damaged. The actual number of logical child segments that point to this target segment is greater than its counter value. This could result in the target segment being deleted before all of its logical child segments are deleted.

System action

Processing continues.

User response

Repair the database and rerun the HD Pointer Checker job.

If there is a deleted logical child segment in HISAM overflow that does not have the delete flag set, the HD Pointer Checker treats the deleted segment as "active" and issues the reported message. If the HISAM database is logically connected to an HD database, reorganize only the HISAM database and rerun the HD Pointer Checker job.
