571.0. "error RT-049 with volatile indexes ?!" by BACHUS::SABLON (Mich�le Sablon, TP/IM Support Belgium 856-7238) Tue May 06 1997 03:18
MFOCUS Cobol V3.2(u2)
UNIX 3.2D
	A customer complains about receiving regularly (every 4 days) an
	error rt-047 requiring them to reorganize two of their data files.
	From the discussion, it appears that both have quiet constant size but 
	one is subject to havy creation/deletion operations, and the second is
	subject to havy secondary key modification.
	Is it possible that C-ISAM, provided by Micro-Focus COBOL, does not 
	reclaim freed space ? If so, would a regular reorganisation be a
	right/only solution ?
	Thanks in advance for help,
	Mich�le Sablon.

| 571.1 | probably should reorganize often | CSC32::E_VAETH | Suffering from temporary brain cramp, stay tuned | Sat May 24 1997 16:24 | 3 | 
|  |     The internals of the C-ISAM product bundled with Micro Focus is not
    documented, however, it would only make sense to reorganize an indexed
    file often if there is heavy add/change/delete activity.
