RTP57A
TextAt a site running Advanced NETWARE a user recently tried to rebuild several
indexes at once The system refused to allow this and while one machine
happily indexed away the other displayed a "Waiting for Index Transaction
Lock" message In an effort to break this stalemate the user rebooted the
machine successfully indexing (I'm saying nothing!) All subsequent
attempts to log in were successful but when any workstation was left alone
long enough to begin background indexing the workstation crahed to DOS with
"RTP57A Line 168 String Space Format Error" Subsequent investigation
tracked the problem to a file which was relationally indexed and in the
!file there was a record WITH a non standard key ("CUST HEROD*SIBLINGS*BOT*)
and a record structure as follows

001 0
002 807818
003
004 100008
005 807800
006
007 100008
008 807834
009
etc

This was obviously a redundancy caused by the reboot Deleting this record
fixed the problem and I record it here in case you ever come across the
situation yourselves
