Kevin,

The only advantage my CL has over MAPICS' is that mine doesn't require a
dedicated environment, and it can be run in batch in the jobq of your
choice (I use QS36EVOKE).  It seems to have a lesser impact on my system's
performance.  But as I mentioned in my earlier e-mail, it ignores AMTLIB,
and it also assumes you have already done a test environment create at some
point in the past.

I'm sending you the PDF anyway - I've sent out a couple dozen already.

Hi Dale,

Before I ask for a copy also, could you summarize what your programs do
that
the MAPICS crtenv does not do?

Thanks

The PDF has been e-mailed to all that asked for a copy.  I did not include
the source for the small RPG program that changes the two records in SYSCTL
(XXCASS and CONO01) for the new environment, very minor.  I can send that
source also if desired.

This does NOT do anything on AMTLIBx.  That usually isn't an issue for us
in a test environment.  What I do there is periodically CLRLIB AMTLIBx and
then CPYLIB AMTLIB to the AMTLIBx library to "refresh" it.  I do that after
a backup when there are no batches in any of the files.

Works great, and runs during the day.  The only issue is that since V5R2,
there is a delay between when the CL completes and when the users can
access the environment, while database jobs that OS/400 runs do whatever
they do.  It takes approx 1 hr for that to complete with full load at my
shop.
