Hi, my friends....
Y have a hash file, and a BASIC routine accessing it. Everything is fine, and suddenly one record is not stored in the hash file.
This hash file is fed from a SAP table.
There were no changes to the SAP table, no changes to the hash file, no changes related to this small environment.
So, the question is: why from one day to another, a record is missing ?
Since several months it was working fine, but now there is one record that is not stored.
Is there any maintenance to do with hash files ? The size of this file is about 100Kb.
Thanks in advance.

Records can not "go missing" from hashed files unless a specific DELETE statement (or command) is issued.
It is possible, of course, that the hashed file has become corrupted; you would need to check for this.
And your answer to Carter's question might help us to target an answer a little more accurately.
