Re: dropping a database with 392 errors

In Response To: RE: dropping a database with 392 errors (Schleicher, Keith)

Yes, I'd look at the disk. Also, if you still have the original unload
files around, you can look at the files for one or two of the troublesome
tables and see if the data looks weird, just for peace of mind.

Ultimately, if your SA doesn't find anything wrong at the hardware level,
you may have to call IBM and pay for an out-of-support support call for them
to look at this.
