Re: Why non-keyed PFs back then? Why today? ( was Re: Which of the SYSIBM tables/views show the row count for )

Perhaps we were lucky, but we had PFs with indices 'back in the day.' I believe we were always able to use CPYF FRMRCD(1) to recover damaged PFs.

OK, but still this would have been a distinct disadvantage for very large PFs where the available storage for a copy might be limited and the added downtime of the copy could be significant. I recall a shop (model 7) where one large table took DAYS to rebuild all it's indexes. Those old boxes were slow.
