Error Message
163 ISAM error: begin and end page stamps are different.
Error Details
The most likely cause of this error is that the current statement attempts to define a BYTE or TEXT column using the clause IN blobspace, but no storage space of that name has been defined. However, if the storage space was correctly spelled and should exist, a reserved page in the root dbspace might have been corrupted. In that case, the database server administrator should run tbcheck -cr, oncheck -cr, or onutil to check the situation. If the statement makes no reference to TEXT or BYTE columns, possibly the root dbspace is full or corrupted; contact the database server administrator for further help.
