Re: PTF Image Catalogue Order



Jerry,

You could run a VFYIMGCLG and specify SORT(*YES)...

Happy New Year!!

I ordered the latest Cume for V5R4, which contained fifteen [15] images. I
did the ADDIMGCLGE in the order of the images, such as SF99540_1.bin first
and SF99540_15.bin last. I, also, downloaded some other groups and added
these after the Cume.

Next I ran the CPYPTFCVR procedure, which automatically does a VFYIMGCLG of
Type(*PTF).

Using the WRKIMGCLG I see that the order of the images is:
SF99540_11
SF99540_12
SP99540_13
SF99540_14
SF99540_15
SF99114_1 (through _8)
SP99540_1 (through _10)

I "think" that I recall from a COMMON session that the PTF apply process is
smart enough (somehow) to put the PTFs in the proper order. If I remembered
that correctly, the order of the images shouldn't matter.

But did I get it right?

Reordering the images probably wouldn't do a bit of good because, when
using image catalogues, the PTF process does a verify again, anyway, so it
would probably just sort 'em back to the sequence above.
