Interval option ignored for system relation area Explanation: The storage area that contain the system relations must have UNIFORM page formats. Either through the use of the defaults, or by directly specifing the INTERVAL option, SQL has been told to apply the INTERVAL option for the area containing the system relations. SQL is ignoring that option. User Action: None. This is an informational message. The user might want to change the command if it originated in a command file. This may avoid confusion later.
