I'm not convinced the two entries are connected aty all (104 and server
abend).

What is the server used for and how many users are in past 20:00.

Is there any kind of house keeping going on after hours, e.g. backup (IB or
OS), sweeps, defrag, whatever?

if the DB is corrupt, you can get abends during the backup.


Does it happen at the same time every night?
