<QUOTE>
After running FIXVOL, are the large REV files suppose to be resized to 64K or less, or does FIXVOL simple check for errors?

Thanks

<QUOTE>Steve,



From a document I found:



"The FIXVOL utility repairs linear hash files that have Group Calculation Errors (GCE's) in files with modulos exceeding 64k, in which case records are hashed to the wrong group.  After a file is updated and resized, records can appear to be lost or missing.  They have been saved, but in the wrong group and therefore cannot be located.  These corrupted files are those with a .LK extension and a size equal to or greater than 64MB."

<QUOTE>Stephen,

I read that and all other docs I have on FIXVOL,

They all appear to say the large files will be resized, but

after running FIXVOL, I compared the before and after file sizes

and nothing changed... still have 1 and 2 meg. REV files.

<QUOTE>Your files don't qualify and won't be resized.  The FIXVOL issue only deals with files greater than 64 Megabytes.  The problem surfaces because records are hashed into the wrong group with the Group Module exceeds 64MB.
