Re: V7R1 (7.1) discs

As I understand it, the program uses the image catalog to determine what
directory to use, so I think you need the image catalog and the
directory where the files are to agree, and the image catalog needs to
be created.

I have not looked at the API description so there might be more options
since V7 and TR5, but I doubt it.

Jim,

Are there any other parms for that program to address where the directory
housing the images might be different than the image catalog name, or
should I just create an image catalog with the same name as the

directory?

just did a PTF application to a V7 system over the weekend, over 30

files to add to the image catalog. Took about 20 seconds. Sweet.

did a VFYIMGCLG as well, so I'm not sure how it missed one program.
