Hello folks,

There was a I/O error when I was trying to append 6 million around records to a large dataset and log showed only 20 around records had been added when I/O error happened. So, I tried to delete the partial added records from the base dataset. However, I got the following error message:

WARNING: File 'OUT.TBL_SFY2009_ENC_FFS.DATA' is shorter than expected. WARNING: File 'OUT.TBL_SFY2009_ENC_FFS.DATA' is shorter than expected. NOTE: Data set OUT.TBL_SFY2009_ENC_FFS contained no structural errors, however some changes during last update may not have been written to disk. NOTE: No rows were deleted from OUT.TBL_SFY2009_ENC_FFS.

I am concerned about the base dataset. Has this base dataset been effected? Why is it shorter than expected? What does 'contained no structural errors' mean?

Does any body could help explain the Warning to me?

Thanks very much!
