The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

This does a fairly good job of explaining *TYPE2 directories

Basically if you start out from scratch at V5R2 or later you will have
*TYPE2. Otherwise you need to run the CVTDIR command.

Thanks, to both Joe and Rob.
So do I have this right? If "/FOO" is a Type 2 directory, then it can
have 999998 subdirectories? And each of those subdirectories (e.g.,
"/FOO/BAR") can, theoretically, have 999998 subdirectories?

And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.", as De Morgan
put it.)
That incident must have occurred before V5R2. Yet still, in the old
scheme, we have one customer that would already be nearly two thirds of
the way there.
