Well, we have a problem open with IBM currently and it just got passed
     from Level-2 to the developers...

     Well, I just did a little checking...  in the trace info they saw some
     things pointing to an error they have just corrected.

     Your platform seems to be some DOS/Windows... all I know is there is a
     fixTEST version for AIX4.2 that we have retrieved and with this
     fixTEST version were able to restore the file in question that was
     backed up from a sun solaris box and received the error during an
     attempted restore to a sun solaris box, and also during the restore to
     an aix box.

     All I can say is there is a fixTEST version for AIX 4.2 and not any
     version for sun solaris 1.6

     Your platform ? ? ?

     later,
           Dwight

Hello,

one of my clients got this error,

ANS4032E Error processing 'c:\xxx\yyy.zzz': file is not compressed.

The book states:

ANS4032E Error processing 'filespace namepath-namefile-name': file is not
compressed.
Explanation: A file that was flagged as compressed was not compressed, and
the system failed.
System Action: Processing stopped.
User Response: See your system administrator to report this problem. This
error is a system failure.

So the client comes to me and says "What gives?"  I said, "Get back to you
real soon!"
So, first question - is this dataset recoverable?  Need this answer ASAP.
Next questions are (not necessary in any order):
Will there be a next time?
How can we be proactive about this?
What did we do wrong?
What can we do to fix/prevent this?

Your thoughts and comments are always appreciated.
