RE: Using QUSLOBJ API

You won't have to worry any time soon, because according to IBM's maximum
capacities documents the limit for the number of objects in a library from
7.1 back to at least V4R5 (I didn't check back further) is "Approximately
360,000". Also, it seems that the save/restore limits further restrict
that.

Oh, good point, Vern. Luckily, I have all my personal bank account
information stored in one massive file member - rather than spread about in
emulation of the real world - so I think the number is fairly safe. :)

I don't know, Dennis, gotta be careful - you'll run out of space when
you have more than 559,240 objects in a library!!

What return format are you using? My solution is to use QUSLOBJ to

retrieve

only the minimal information (OBJD0100)... and then use QUSROBJD for

the

details. I have not run into space issues in this manner.

To the list,
I am trying to use the QUSLOBJ API and am only getting a "partial"

list on

the

retrievel of a library that contains almost 42,000 objects. When I

changed

the program from looking for *ALL object types to perform a loop

(selecting a

single object type one at a time), I still do not get all the *PGM

objects

which number over 30,000. The "magic" number where the job stops is

29,119

objects.

Doe this API have a "continuation handle" or does anyone have a

better

idea on

retrieving all the objects - I am using the 0600 format to retrieve

the

data.

I believe that I am creating an extendable user space.

TIA...
