Understood. My point was actually agreeing with you that it doesn't make
sense to to a SAVCHGOBJ at times. EVEN IF you are only touching 20% of the
objects if they represent 90% of the storage you might as well do a full
save every night. Clearly if you're touching 95%+ of the objects a SAVCHGOBJ
is pointless.

Walden,

I understand what you are saying but in the context of SAVCHGOBJ it WAS the
shear number of objects that were getting changed/accessed on a daily basis.
If by the 2nd day, 95%+ of the stuff had been "touched", what's the point,
use SAVLIB. And I understand what you say, in that a big file getting hit
once in a while would not trigger, but we had everything, including the big
ones getting "touched" so it made no sense to us. And any restore was much
easier :-)

Chuck

It's not so much % of objects as % of object sizes. We've seen production
environments where 90% of the size in in 10% of the objects -- and guess
what, it's those 10% that change every day. The big files are usually things
like item, order, order detail, customer, inventory, shipment, etc. These
are the files that will change every day. The State Master or Tax table may
not change that often, but in the grand scheme of things are tiny.
