Thanks to those who have responded.  Actually I have a pretty good grasp of 
the obvious.  I can see that it is an Omnidex error and that it involves 
dataset MACORD30.  What I really want to understand is, what does it mean 
when a generic key range "collapses?"  What kind of activity can cause this 
error?  What tools exist to examine the health of Omnidex indexes?

I am hampered by the fact that I have no Omnidex manuals, and efforts to 
acquire some have been unsuccessful.  In addition, Omnidex is licensed 
through our application vendor, so I can't call DISC directly for technical 
support, and questions that should be answered in minutes take days.  Any 
additional info would be appreciated.

Regards,
John Clogg
