Re: Large Objects created on AS400 consuming huge disk space

Dennis,

I thought so, although I wasn't very sure if he meant it from the IFS
perspective...

That said, my question about the "QUALITY" lib was because I didn't know if
that was a "new" sys library that would have appeared after V5R3 (where I'm
stuck right now).

If "QUALITY" is a real user lib, I hope he remembers that it would not be
backed up with a SAVLIB *ALLUSR. Back in 2001, when I began to work at the
company I'm right now, they lost (read "deleted") some objects from a
library called "QUIRLIBD" and, Surprise!! they weren't available on the last
(*allusr) backup. I had to explain to them that "Q" was preferably dedicated
to system objects, and beginning a library with "Q" was not the best idea...
End of story? They did not want to change their "Q" libs (3), as most of
their programs had the lib name written for each call :-( They ended up
writing a SAVLIB QUI* right after the *ALLUSR.

Although I agree with your point of view about RTVDSKINF, I'm a little
mystified regarding your statement about DSPOBJD getting only QSYS.LIB.
Would you like to clarify? Also, I see in your list a library called
"QUALITY". Is that a system lib?

Since I believe that I understand what Rob is saying, I'll try to answer in
his absence.

DSPOBJD has visibility only to the objects that are in libraries. From an
Integrated File System perspective, that means the QSYS.LIB directory and
everything below it. Put another way, all the *other* objects in the
system
(all the stuff in those other directories), large or small, are invisible
to
DSPOBJD.

QUALITY would not be a "system lib" from the IBM or System i perspective.
