RECORD <record-name> DBKEY POSITIONS ARE NOT CONTIGUOUSLY ASSIGNED

Reason:

<Record-name>'s prefix comprises pointer positions whose numbers are not sequentially incremented by 1. No numbers can be skipped in the assignation of pointer positions. Take one of two corrective actions:

• Identify and modify the set that assigned the noncontiguous position number (modify also any sets that assign higher-numbered positions to <record-name>).
• Change all set descriptions to use the AUTO feature for assigning pointer positions. Note that this action is recommended only for schemas that do not describe existing databases.

Regardless of which action is taken, reissue the VALIDATE statement.
