RE: Corrupted DB Cross Reference File - QADBFDEP

["Graap, Ken" <keg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A point well taken Al .....

I'll schedule a RCLSTG SELECT(*DBXREF) and hope I don't have to do this on a
regular basis.

Ken,

If you're as old as I, you remember the TV ads saying "It's not nice to
fool mother nature."

I wouldn't mess with that file if I were you.

Al -

Any idea what causes this kind of problem?

Any idea what this file is used for, other than providing a DBA with file
dependency information?

I had discussed this issue a bit with Jim Sloan and he and I were both
wondering what the implication would be if I just edited this file and
removed the invalid records (?).
