FIX Statement

The FIX statement directs CA IDMS/DB Audit to simulate corrections or to actually update the records in the database. The errors to be corrected must be recorded in an extract file, from either a current run or a previous run. If the audit was made in a previous run, you must be sure that the database was not updated between the audit run and the fix run.

Corrections can be made to page headers and footers; next, prior, and owner pointers in CALC sets, user-defined sets, and integrated index sets. Integrated index orphan records can be "adopted" and the orphan counts decreased. Logically deleted records (LDELs) can also be physically deleted from the database.
