Re: How long does STROBJCVN take?

[CRPence <CRPbottle@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Unless /corrected/ the STROBJCVN still does effectively OPNDBF 
against every member of a file for the named library [list].  Quite 
pointless for most systems and even quite irritating for its effect of 
updating the /last used/ information.

  There is unlikely any reason to /convert/ any [part of any database] 
*FILE objects [esp. when coming from v5r4].  Note that all *FILE objects 
on the system will be faulted irrespective that large numbers of file 
objects [device files like PRTF and DSPF] are not _database_ *FILE 
objects yet they are *FILE objects.  What database conversions are 
required of late, will be best effected by DSPLIB for every library and 
no /last use/ information updated by that action; assumption being, that 
STROBJCVN in v6r1 still uses [an effective] OPNDBF to force its database 
file.member conversions... and _that_ type of conversion is *very* 
unlikely to be required on any system since v5r1 I think -- but I think 
it will also effect the same conversions to the database *FILE 
[composite pieces] as will the DSPLIB.
