RE: RE: RE: Rebuild Access Paths

If all the files are set to *IMMED, then you shouldn't have to open them.
Copying the data into the physical file using *REPLACE should invalidate all
indexes then rebuild them when the copy completes.  If you have to open them
before they rebuild then they aren't set to *IMMED or you are doing
something else clever that is preventing the ordinary stuff from working.

Based on my V4R3 manuals, MAINT appears to be a file attribute for PF and
LF, not a member attribute.

If you must rebuild access paths, look at the FRCRBDAP parameter on CHGLF.

Instead of thrashing around, figure out why it doesn't work the way you want
then fix it.

I'm not sure this is true. . . . -- I checked some LFs, and they're all
set to *IMMED,
but nothing showed up on the EDTRDBAP screen.

OTOH, I liked Dave's suggestion of building a list of LFs and running it
through a
CL  using OPNDBF and CLOF to rebuild the paths.

Question: a lot of these files have multiple members (yes, it's BPCS!).
Should I open
each member, or can I get away with just opening the first one?
