RE: DSPOBJD and ODOBSZ - was DASD-DISKTASKS

Debbie,

Yes, thanks for pointing that out. I honestly had never considered the size
limitation. It doesn't seem so long ago that an AS/400 with 10 gig of DASD
would be considered large. Now my home PC has that much and the AS/400 has
single objects larger than that. :-o

I do wonder why IBM decided on a packed field of length 10. 11 digits would
take the same 6 bytes in the buffer but allow for objects up to 100 gig.

Objet: DSPOBJD and ODOBSZ - was DASD-DISKTASKS


Dave:

The outfile from DSPOBJD does have a field ODOBSZ, which used to be always
the
object size, but it is defined as a 10.0 field, so it does not correctly
report
objects that are 10 gigabytes or more.
