Very Computer

Pick version 6.1.16.RS130.

When using the command list-system-errors I get an enty relating to
"retix"  can anybody help me on what this means as somebody tells me
that it is todo with automatic error fixing, and I have been losing
data recently.

In the system errors file I am also getting messages saying coldstart
after normal shutdown.  The date that corresponds to this error was a
date when I know that the system wasn't shutdown in any manner.

Can anybody help me with the above issues.

Sorry, but I can't help with your other problem.

I occasionally get the Rextix error. It is always on my port and is usually
related to code in a CALLX file program that is broken. Definitely a case of
a write action that did not complete properly. I would recommend trying to
trace it by time and user. If you know the user you often limit the data
area to the area they are interested in. Another place I have seen this is
when I log someone off, I believe this one was related to waiting to write a
locked record.

...The date that corresponds to this error was a
...date when I know that the system wasn't shutdown in any manner.

The date (as well as most of the rest of the error data) in the
System-Errors file is contained in a long number which is the ID. The date
definition item selects a 4 digit number on some releases. Look at the
definition. List only System-Errors and look at where the number for the
date is extracted. Try moving the reference (5 digits of course) left or
right and see if you don't find a reasonable date.

SOUNDS LIKE A GFE TO ME
