I am getting an error in Relativity:

−4123Catalog invalid; item has a duplicate  presentation sequence value sequence

The database catalog is invalid. Two items in the catalog have the same presentation sequence value. Item presentation sequence values are expected to be unique.

What does this mean?  There is no explanation in the Help documents in the Relativity Designer except for the message above.

Sadly, this means there is something very wrong with your catalog.

In general in the Relativity catalog's database, there are rows that represent the items in the COBOL FD. These rows have a "Presentation Sequence" column that helps the Designer display the items in the proper order. Some how, there are two items with the same presentation sequence.

Just out of curiosity, what was the last thing that you were doing before this message started to appear? I must say that I haven't heard of anyone getting this message in quite a while, so I'm interested in how this happened.

My suggestion is to restore your catalog to a recent backup. And I think that you need to contact support and send them your catalog and ask them to send it along to the Relativity team so that we can have a look at it.

I wasn't doing anything with Relativity before I ran this.  This is the first time I have touched this catalog in months.So... I guess I'll just rebuild. No biggie.

Thanks for the info!
