Reconstruct Bad Load Records option

Choose this option to build a new data file for bad records from the error file and original data file. If the Data Dictionary encounters errors while loading a data file, it creates the error file. When you choose this option, the Reconstruct Bad Load Records dialog box shown in the following figure appears.
Figure 45. Reconstruct Bad Load Records dialog box
The Reconstruct Bad Load Records dialog box contains the following fields:
*Original Data File — Specifies the name of the file that contains the original data
*Error File — Specifies the name of the error file
*Output Data File — Specifies the name of the new data file—the default filename is error.d
After you complete the Reconstruct Bad Load Records dialog box's fields and select OK, the Data Dictionary builds the new file. You can use a text editor to edit the new data file and fix the bad records after the Data Dictionary builds the new file. Once you have fixed the records, you can reload the file.
