Error Message
170 ISAM error: illegal use of a storage space for TEXT or BYTE data.
Error Details
When a storage space containing TEXT or BYTE data has been extended by adding a new chunk, no pages can be allocated until the log record showing the addition of the chunk has been logged. If this rule were not enforced, certain anomalies could occur during recovery. You do not have to wait until the log is full; you can run the tbmode or onmode utility with the -l option to force a switch to the next log.
