     We are currently considering purchasing Adager with the
     competitive upgrade from DBCPlus.  I would like to verify one
     thing before I give my recommendation to do this.  Sometimes it
     is necessary to abort people out of the application and this
     often causes minor data corruption. This corruption can be fixed
     buy using the FIXSET or FIXBASE commands in DBCPlus (this
     happened yesterday).  Are there equivalent commands in Adager?

     Thanks,
