Hello Artur,
thanks for your answer.
do you mean i should do something like

../gbak -parameters..... > gfix_result.log

and grep gfix_result.log ?

I think i tried this during my tests but did not get any result
inside the file (was always empty).
I will try again and let you know.

All the best

Olivier
