Systems Programmers:

This is a severe database error. Issue the ACFSERVE RESTART DUMP command and, if the record is available, the problem could have been an overlay of the incore index block. If not, take a DDR backup of the database for debugging purposes. Ensure that your current backup files are backed up or copy them. You can use your normal recovery procedures or take a backup of the affected database with the ACFSERVE command. In NOAUTO mode, restore the database from the backup file. You might only have to re‑insert the affected record if this process works.

Contact CA Support to determine what actually happened to the database to cause the error.
