IC98529: THE ONCHECK -CD CAN REPORT 'WARNING: DATA PAGE APPEARS TO BE MORE OR LESS FULL ...' IF MAX_FILL_DATA_PAGES SET TO 1 IN 11.70.XC8

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you use IBM Informix Server 11.70.xC8 and you have set the
  MAX_FILL_DATA_PAGES parameter to 1 in your $ONCONFIG file, the
  'oncheck -cD <dbname>:<tabname>' command can report the
  following warning(s) for the tables with variable length
  columns:
  
  $ oncheck -cD test:tab
  
  TBLspace data check for test:informix.tab
  
  WARNING: data page 0x1 in tablespace 0x300002 appears to be
          more or less full than is indicated in the bitmap.
          Bitmap mode: 0xc, Calculated mode: 0x4.
  Reset the bitmap mode for this page?
  
  You can fix the bitmap mode by answering 'y' to the question
  above or by using 'oncheck -cD test:tab1 -y' command, but later
  you may see the warnings again (for the same or different
  page(s)).
  
  This happens even with the fix for IC98053.
