ADAICK checks the physical structure of the Associator. This includes validating the index based upon the descriptor value structures and the Associator extents defined by the general control blocks (GCBs) and file control blocks (FCBs).
The ADAICK utility should be used only for diagnostic purposes.
ADAICK can perform the following functions:
Check index and address converter for specific files;
Print/dump the contents of any ASSO or DATA block in the database;
Print/dump the contents of normal (NI) and upper (UI) indexes.
Print/dump formatted the contents of GCBs, FCBs, FDTs, and PPTs.
When specifying an ISN for a spanned record in an ADAICK utility run, be sure to specify the primary ISN of the spanned record, not a secondary ISN of the spanned record. ADAICK utility processing assumes all specified ISNs are primary ISNs; secondary ISNs will automatically be processed.
