Issue with the shawdow table

Question

I am in the process of understanding the shawdow table and the error log table.
i have a table created with a shadow table in place.
1. ex : table emp( empno, ename), emp_err( ...., empno,ename)
it contains the values (1,'A').
Now i place the empno with a data rule, unique not null ... and configure the operator
as MOVE TO ERROR.
when i try to insert a row with 1,A, its not only moving the new row to be inserted but also the existing row in the table emp ie two rows are getting populated in the error table emp_err
2. I have a scenario where i want to update a row in the fact, from an incoming row.
If there is no match of the incoming row to that of the fact, how do i put that into the
error_table ?
Any ideas or tricks appreciated.
Thanks
Narayana.

Hi,
  Remove the the internal tables memory by using FREE statement after processing the internal table.
   Also u can ask your Basis person to increase the page area.
