RE: Openness Includes

Roger,

The problem with FTPing the includes to my PC is finding enough room to
install 'em in the first place. .-)

I do intend to perm apply the PTFs, but not as part of this project. I
prefer doing one thing at a time, making sure things are still working, and
then going to the next step. The only multi-step parts of this project are
to delete/drop some unused products and then add a couple of
products/features.

FTP the includes to a file on your PC (or USB).

Have you done a RCLSPLSTG *NONE? That may free up some space.

I know others mentioned *perm PTF apply. That'll help.

Also look at reorgs. DSPFD *mbrlist to an outfile and loop through that
reorg'ing.

Been there, done that.... scratching for space. I was regularly running our
old 720 at 92% disk - went to a Power 6 and more disk - dropped to 30%.

Well, I went over my plans for adding/dropping features/products from our
V5R1 machine to free up disk space.



The three things I wanted to add were:

. Online Help,

. System Openness Includes, and

. Qshell Interpreter.



I'm dropping about 94.7 mb of unused products (AFP Utilities, Communications
Utilities, and Advanced Job Scheduler). The rest is pretty basic stuff
(bare bones, if you will) that either could not be dropped or for which I'd
sooner give up my second born (if I had one), such as SQL.



My jaw dropped, though, when I saw that the Openness Includes was 178.9 mb.
I gotta admit that I'm not good enough to write API interfaces (prototypes)
from scratch, even with the API references in the Info Center. I searched
to see if I could find a PDF or Text version of the QSYSINC library, but
came up empty.



My option right now is to go to my previous employer (no problem) and
"print" these to a PDF to store on my PC. This would probably only take 1-2
weeks! Any other ideas (beyond the obvious, like adding more disk)?



Thanks.
