The SQL worked. :) I could tell which field was corrupt in one SQL
session, and used another to update it to what it should be. Sweet..
thanks!

Subject: Re: "Raw" Edit of PF?


Will the Navigator PF editor let you make changes?

If you're a glutton for punishment you might try EDTF.

But SQL might do it, too - if you can see the corrupt data, do an SQL
UPDATE where RRN(filename) = some-number

I recently imported data from an Access Database into PFs on the i.

There are about 10 records that have corrupt data in them, but
UPDDTA won't
let me edit them.

All fields are text fields, so I'm guessing it's just that
there's some bad
hex codes in them.

Is there some way to edit the raw data, preferably by RRN?
