SYMPTOMS

DBCC HELP shows an incorrect syntax for DBCC NEWALLOC.

The only valid option for NEWALLOC at this time is NOINDEX. DBCC HELP shows the following syntax:

newalloc( dbname, option = { 1 | 2 | 3 } )

   dbcc traceon(3604)
   go
   dbcc help(newalloc)
   go
   print 'The following will give syntax error:'
   print ' '
   go
   dbcc newalloc (pubs,option=1)
   go

STATUS
