Pointer Errors in Integrated Index SR7/SR8 Structure

Errors in next, prior, and owner pointers in integrated index sets are detected when you specify USERSETS in the AUDIT statement, and are fixed when you specify USERSETS in the FIX statement. CA IDMS/DB Audit generates the same messages for pointer errors in other sets in the database. Figure 2.18 shows a typical integrated index structure with a bad next pointer. The NEXT pointer in record 9000-03 points to the level above instead of the next record.
