These errors indicate damage to the control or reference information in the file header.

"Start VBN smaller than possible" indicates that INTEG cannot locate the database structure. "Header indicates that file creation did not complete" indicates a MUPIP CREATE problem. In these cases, the database has effectively been lost. DSE cannot correct these problems. If you determine that the costs of recovering from a backup, hopefully with journal files, are prohibitive, consider consulting with Fidelity Information Services.

To correct the other errors of this type use the DSE CHANGE FILEHEADER command with the BLK_SIZE=, BLOCKS_FREE=, and TOTAL_BLKS qualifiers.

"Free blocks counter ..." indicates that the count of free blocks in the file header is not correct. This error only affects $VIEW("FREECNT",region) and DUMP FILEHEADER which return the information.
