• Message text: Hierarchy Node Text References for Characteristic &1

Description:
The interrelation between the (negative) SIDs of the hierarchy nodes of
all hierarchies of the characteristic and the node names are encoded in
the <AB>K</> table for a characteristic. The <AB>SID</> characteristic
values are also stored in the <AB>OSID</> field for characteristic
nodes, that is, hierarchy nodes, whose node name is the characteristic
value of a different characteristic.
The system uses the <AB>K</> table when texts for hierarchy nodes need
to be displayed. A query may crash if there are missing entries in the
<AB>K</>, table or if non-existant SIDs appear in the OSID field.
Repairs:
The <AB>K</> table can be repaired in the repair mode.
