Re: "Remove BPCS File Members" (SYS124)

Unfortunately, I have no idea what the option does, but I shall eagerly
await other posts to this thread, to see if you have found an answer to
what many of us desire.  From perspective of wasting 400 resources, these
empty members are not a disk space problem (I have been working on what IS
a disk space problem) but I suspect might contribute to performance issues,
and I had occasion to add a new logical to a file that had over 200 of
these excess members, but OS/400 error messages informed me that only 32
could be attached to my new logical.  An extra hassle I did not need.

1. Check the BPCS_L archives ... there was a discussion Spring 2001 of the
topic of excess members involving me and Lisa Abney in which Roger Wolf
shared the actual program code used at his company to get rid of unwanted
ones.  If you cannot find this (some of it might have been off list), I
have cut & paste of the entire thread that I can send you a copy of (far
too long to repost to the list) because implementing this is in a huge pile
of things I need to do some time but have not in fact carried out.

Perhaps with Roger's permission the solution code could be posted to some
web site like www.midrange.com BPCS/400 FAQ or connected to my
http://radio.weblogs.com/0107846/stories/2002/11/08/bpcsDocSources.html

2. Visit the UPI site and check out BPCS LITE.

3. I would not mind knowing where there is a good authoritative
documentation that explains what each and every option of SYS and SYS/23
does, for those of us who are not on OSG ... I have constructed notes on
many of them for my usage at work.

Greetings and Salutations!

BPCS version 4.0.03 -- Can anyone tell me what the SYS menu option 15
-- Remove BPCS File Members (SYS124) does?

I am hoping that it will remove all of the extraneous unused
workstation and other members that BPCS leaves lying around.  Would this
be correct?

Many thanks.
