[daip] Renumber: Catalogued Files Disappear

[Casey Coffey]

Hello!

I am using AIPS DEC07 with the latest version of Red Hat.

I was attempting to clean up my data area from within AIPS by  
grouping UV and image files of the same objects together, using the  
command RENUMBER, and then eventually RECAT.  However, before running  
RENUMBER (or RECAT) for the first time, I failed to realize that  
RENUMBER is specified for use with image files (and not necessarily  
UV files). I do not know if that is the cause of my problem, which is:

I attempted to move a CALIB file from catalog number 113 to catalog  
number 116 using RENUMBER. Catalog number 116 was an empty slot, with  
no file at that number. I ran RENUMBER, and then used the command  
PCAT to make sure the file had been moved appropriately. The file was  
moved to catalog number 116, however every file with a catalog number  
less than 116 no longer shows up!  There are a number of files that  
still, correctly, show up after number 116.

Have you heard of this before? Do you have a solution? I am afraid to  
touch anything or try any other commands for fear of losing my work.

Thank you!
Casey
