Ron, Nope, QDOC is not the same as the IFS. QDOC is a library in QSYS just like any other with a couple of exceptions: 1) It can contain *DOC and *FLR objects [1] 2) It has three hidden indexes (type 0E CD) called SWFL, SWILL and SWRL. These indicies are the basis for the "classic" folder interface. Whenever you use the "classic" folder interface you're using QDOC objects. All Office Vision stuff, WRKFLR, CRTDOC, etc. are in QDOC On the other hand, the IFS is now the "real" file system on an AS/400. QSYS is actually just one folder contained IN the IFS. When the IFS came into existence (V4?) the upgrade actually did some magic and changed the entire underlying file system from QSYS based to IFS based. So, the IFS contains a bunch of folders one of which is QSYS. QSYS contains a bunch of libraries, one of which is QDOC. QDOC contains a bunch of objects that EMULATE a folder-based file system. The important result of all this is: QDOC = Slow IFS = Fast -Walden [1] Technically, any library is capable of containing *DOC and *FLR objects, but there is no easy way to create those objects in any other library, nor can you move or crtdupobj them into another library. ------------ Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516)627-3800 x11 WaldenL@TechSoftInc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com -----Original Message----- From: Klein, Ron [mailto:ron.klein@brctsg.com] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 09:23 To: 'midrange-l@midrange.com' Subject: RE: Max objects in Library Al, Could I get a definition of what a QDOC library is, is that what the IFS is considered?

You can, however, have a QDOC library for each ASP. The maximum number of ASPs in V4R5 is 16, and this became 32 in V5R1. Independent ASPs provide another wrinkle, and they go to from 33 to 99 in V5R1, and I think more in the future. There is a very good web page on system maximum capacities and limits.
