Fatal ISAM error IS path.C
fatal isam error.c(78)

Cause

Corrupt trn isam pair.

Resolving the problem

Using isops, unload trn records, create an empty trn isam pair and load trn records into empty trn isam pair; trn.dat and trn.idx files reside in $EDI_ROOT.


1. Log in as Gentran User ID
2. cd $EDI_ROOT
3. Make backup copies of trn.dat and trn.idx
4. isops -u -f trn > trn.unl (this unloads trn isam)
5. rm trn.dat trn.idx
6. isops -l -f trn < /dev/null (this creates new, empty trn isam)
7. chmod 775 trn* (Ensures permissions are at least 775)
8. isops -l -f trn< trn.unl (this loads trn.unl created in step 4)
