Re: differences between PF38, LF38 and PF, LF files

Kieth,

Thanks, I thought that was the case, but we've got a ton of them here, so i
thought i'd check.

anytime I need to touch one, I change the member type and verify syntax.
but I was just concerned that maybe it was part of the reason our system
runs so slow sometimes.  I don't want to have to get them all unless I have
to.

thanks,

Rick

----original message----
I've never seen or heard of any difference in performance.

AFAIK, the only diference is in the DDS source syntax.  Most notably the
library qualifier on keywords that accept a library (ie. PFILE, REF, REFFLD
etc.).   This the same issue with other S/38 object types (ie. CMD38, CLP38
and DSPF38) as well.

You'll need to switch them to native source types (PF, LF) if want to
utilize any of the AS/400 DDS enhancements.

One reason for dropping the 38 source types is because of the nuisance with
the batch compiling them.   Unlike with native types, PDM submits S/38
objects for compile using the JOBD's library list (not *CURRENT).
