Narrative:
Course deviation. Flying the skebr 2 arrival into las, the PF selected runway 25L as the landing runway on the CDU. Both pilots had verified the route was correct on the legs page. Shortly after crossing clarr intersection at 13000 ft and 250 KTS, ATC instructed us to fly the skebr 2 arrival for runway 25L except maintain 13000 ft. Shortly after passing skebr intersection, ATC notified us that we had apparently missed a turn on the arrival and to turn to a heading of 350 degrees and maintain 13000 ft. The controller also told us that there had been several company aircraft miss the turn to kepec after skebr. Once we were established on the ATC assigned heading, a review of the legs page on the CDU revealed that all waypoints on the skebr arrival had dropped out and the aircraft was proceeding directly from skebr to shand intersection on the runway 25L ILS. Upon landing, the captain called las TRACON and the controller told him that we had not caused a conflict and that apparently we had some sort of problem with our FMC database because of the number of company aircraft that had deviated from the arrival.

Title: A COURSE DEV ON THE SKEBR RNAV 2 ARR TO LAS, NV.
Narrative: COURSE DEV. FLYING THE SKEBR 2 ARR INTO LAS, THE PF SELECTED RWY 25L AS THE LNDG RWY ON THE CDU. BOTH PLTS HAD VERIFIED THE RTE WAS CORRECT ON THE LEGS PAGE. SHORTLY AFTER XING CLARR INTXN AT 13000 FT AND 250 KTS, ATC INSTRUCTED US TO FLY THE SKEBR 2 ARR FOR RWY 25L EXCEPT MAINTAIN 13000 FT. SHORTLY AFTER PASSING SKEBR INTXN, ATC NOTIFIED US THAT WE HAD APPARENTLY MISSED A TURN ON THE ARR AND TO TURN TO A HDG OF 350 DEGS AND MAINTAIN 13000 FT. THE CTLR ALSO TOLD US THAT THERE HAD BEEN SEVERAL COMPANY ACFT MISS THE TURN TO KEPEC AFTER SKEBR. ONCE WE WERE ESTABLISHED ON THE ATC ASSIGNED HDG, A REVIEW OF THE LEGS PAGE ON THE CDU REVEALED THAT ALL WAYPOINTS ON THE SKEBR ARR HAD DROPPED OUT AND THE ACFT WAS PROCEEDING DIRECTLY FROM SKEBR TO SHAND INTXN ON THE RWY 25L ILS. UPON LNDG, THE CAPT CALLED LAS TRACON AND THE CTLR TOLD HIM THAT WE HAD NOT CAUSED A CONFLICT AND THAT APPARENTLY WE HAD SOME SORT OF PROB WITH OUR FMC DATABASE BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF COMPANY ACFT THAT HAD DEVIATED FROM THE ARR.
