Did you look up the error?
Quote:
IDC1646I nnnnn EXCESS PRIME {KEY|RBL} VALUES FOR AIX KEY key
Explanation: The specified key is the key of an alternate index record that was too short to contain all the prime key or relative block address (RBA) pointer values that occurred for that alternate index key.
Application Programmer Response: Delete the alternate index and redefine it using the access method services commands with a maximum record size long enough to contain the maximum number of pointers for any one alternate key. Then rebuild the alternate index using the BLDINDEX command.

This has been resolved after increasing the RECSZ range based on expected duplicate alternate keys.

Thank you
