Jan,

Anyone running a release higher than V2R3 will have these database cross
reference files.
The number of records is NOT indicative of whether or not you've ran the
conversion before.  The number of records is strictly dependent on one
thing - the number of fields/files/libraries you have.
For example, if you create a new pf with 3 fields in a library, you can
display the contents of the aforementioned file and those three fields are
now in this file.

Doing a DSPFFD to an outfile has gone the way of the Dodo bird.

V5R2M0


Hi !

We have a model 170 with V4R5M0 and wan't to upgrade this to V5R2M0.

The install doc say's:

---------
If your system has database cross-reference files from an earlier
release, these files
will need to be converted before you install the new release. Converting
these files
may add some time to your installation process. However, the conversion
will
enable faster access times for future database queries.
Follow the procedure given below to determine how much time you will
need to
complete the conversion of the cross-reference files:
1. Determine if you have any cross-reference files.
a. Type DSPFD QADBIFLD at the command line and press Enter.
b. Record the number shown in the Current Number of Records field:
----------

Our QADBIFLD file have the Current Number of Records field: 782023

Is this a problem should we converted before ?
