Re: V5R2: Source now allowed in the IFS

There is a command to convert your directories to type2.  It didn't take
long at all to run.

If you read the glowing testimonials about V5R2 you'll see my boss'
comment regarding the niceties of type2 directories.

the reasons you cite below is why, I think, IBM has come out with the new
TYPE2 directory  structure.

It's automatic in V5R2 and PTF'd to V5R1.

I noticed a big difference in the WRKLNK on my small system.

==================================
Or in a separate area for path name, with a pointer in OIR to it, maybe.
Run the DMP command against a stream file - there's a path name section at
the end. I assume it theoretically can be as long as a segment - 16mb -
4kb
(some fudge factor I forget what size)

BTW, I think DMP is kind of fun - it shows you the associtaed space stuff
that is kept for stream files, just as is done for all 400 objects. That's
probably what contributes sometimes to larger sizes for IFS objects - the
associated space stuff traverses some boundary.

But you DO get to see the actual data, unlike DMPOBJ on a physical file,
where the dataspace is never shown. I'd hate to see the spooled output for
one of your 4gig objects!   <vbg>
