Some distinguished persons correctly solve my  write/update problem.
The file should be opened with /read/write/share qualifiers. 
Thank you for these nice people. 
Question #2 still needs answer.

2. BACKUP journaling file corrupts easily
Over the last month alone I experienced several corrupt backup journal
files during daily and weekly incremental backup operations. The
corruption is detected only when I tried to list the journal file. The
typical error messages are:
%BACKUP-F-INVBJLSIZ, invalid record size in BACKUP journal
%BACKUP-F-INVBJLTYP, invalid record type in BACKUP journal

What is the cause of the invalid record size or invalid record type ? Is
there any way to avoid them ? Any easy way to reconstruct the journaling
file ?

Many thanks in advance.
