Re: Journals

In a message dated 97-04-30 20:39:59 EDT, you write:

<<  Big SNIP 
 If a reorg. is ATTEMPTED on a file, the journal records it.  When
 applying journal changes, the process stops when it reaches a reorg in
 the journal - it can't reorg because the journal doesn't know if you
 used a key file (it doesn't retain the parameters).  So you have to
 mannually reorg. the file and start at the journal entry after the
 reorg. >>

  The reason for this is Journals use Relative Record Number (RRN).  So when
you reorganize a file, the RRN will mostly change as you get rid of records
that had previously been deleted, or if you reorganize the records based on a
different logical view.

   It would be better if the journals could deal with this, perhpas when it
encounters a RGZPFM in the journal it performs the same RGZPFM on the file,
and then keeps applying the journal changes.
