FABP1990E THE NO. OF SEGMS IN HIERARCHICAL PTR CHAINS IS NOT EQUAL TO THE NO. OF HF & PCF IN THE PARENT: parent (SEGM: segname )

Explanation

The database is damaged. The number of segment occurrences, which belong to the hierarchical structure with the segname segment at the top, must be equal to the number of hierarchical forward (HF) pointers and Physical Child First (PCF) pointers. Some or all of the following segment occurrences and pointers are damaged:

  • The parent segment occurrences that are the physical parent segments of the segname segments
  • The segname segment occurrences
  • The dependent segment occurrences that follow the segname segment on the hierarchical path
  • HF pointers, which link the segment occurrences under the hierarchical structure
  • PCF pointers in the parent segments, which point to the segname segments

In addition, the following pointers might be damaged:

  • Hierarchical Backward (HB) pointers
  • Physical Twin Forward (PTF) pointers, which are in the segname segment occurrences

System action

Processing continues.

User response
