"I" and "J" files (ASCII "I" and "J" followed by a number of digits). AFAIK this only happens if you have DUMPING ENABLED for the TurboIMAGE database in question. :DBUTIL >>SHOW <database_name> FLAGS will tell you if your database is enabled for DUMPING. I did a call with the RC long ago and asked if there is any performance penalty during normal operation to leaving DUMPING enabled all the time. HP answer: No. *IF* you ever have one of those rare IMAGE aborts, the contents of the "I" and "J" files may assist the HP RC in figuring out what happened... Ken Sletten
