Hi everybody,
Recently i have problem dropping a database from IDS. This problem actually started when the database is brought up after advancing the system date. The system data was intentionally changed for some kind of testing. Now whenever i try to close --> drop the database, it is giving the following error.

[B]329: Database not found or no system permission.
178: ISAM erro: Database is locked; Pending change to loggin mode

For your information, the database come up withouth any problem by issuing the # oninit. Operating system is SCO unix , Informix is IDS 7.30.

Could anyone on this forum guide me how to drop the database in such scenario?

Any suggestion/ advice from anyone would be appreciated.
