UT-C Re-Index File
Purpose of Program
There may be instances where the data file key structure is corrupted and file handler problems result. This may occur from a static discharge, a power failure, or the physical disk may be damaged. You may be able to recover the data file by re-indexing.
If you are in an entry program and data does not respond in a normal fashion (such as when entering a item number you get the wrong description or data appears to be missing), this often can be corrected through re-indexing. BTrieve Status 2 Error can also often be corrected by reindexing the file in question.
WARNING: DO NOT REINDEX A FILE WHILE OTHER USERS ARE ON THE SYSTEM. If the re-index process gets interrupted, you will not be able to recover the file. WE STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU MAKE A BACKUP OF ANY FILE BEFORE REINDEXING so it can be restored, if necessary.
General Program Operation
The program loads listing the data files in the company you are currently logged into. Click the checkbox next to each file that you want to reindex and click process. Note that the process also runs a Binary Zero (null character) utility so it will run through each file twice and can take a long time for large files.
