1087.0. "Corrupted CDD System areas???" by ORAREP::TEKAPO::TOWN () Mon May 12 1997 18:44

On VAX VMS 6.1, CDD 5.3, I get the follownig errors.  Essentially I cannot 
automate the CDD build because of these problems.
At the end of the dictionary create, a VERIFY/ALL/REBUILD is required.

Thanks for your time


Pete.



The log from a dictionary create is...

I'd be tempted to install all OpenVMS patches for V6.1 there are many which
can affect the correct running of Rdb on OpenVMS V6.1 and V6.2

These problems only occured after the installation of the 19-March ECO patches
(marked '*').
All other system software seem s to be OK, and "luckily" our customer does not
use CDD.
I will be upgrading ACMS(4.1 - 4.2 if it is released) and DECforms(2.1B) in a 
couple of months time and a CDD upgrade(6.1-03) will also be required.
