Logical File Rebuild time

["Rich Duzenbury" <rduz@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

We're testing our Y2K conversion programs and we're in need of your advice.

We have several hundred physical files comprising almost 50 million records.  
The routine we go through is to remove all of the logical file members for the 
target physical file libraries, convert the files using a RPG programs, and 
then we add all of the logical file members back to system so that the index 
paths get rebuilt.

Because we have access to how far along each RPG program is in the conversion 
phase, we can fairly accurately estimate how long it will take.  We are having 
difficulty determining how long it might take to add the logical file members, 
however.

Is there any programmatic way to gather from the system just how far along an 
index rebuild is?  Even a method for coming up with a rough guess would be 
great.



Regards,
Rich
