RE: System21 re-licence fee

Just thought I'd add something to ponder.

One my current customers had a concern that the GL files were huge and
that the daily backup and reporting were taking longer than preferred.
The solution was to break these huge files into a production version and
a history version. 

A "Union All" logical(s) was then created in the history library with
the same name and attributes as the production logical. The production
menu was copied and only the library list was changed to add the history
library to the top of the library list.  No program changes were
required.

The end result was that daily processing speed improved as the
production file(s) were much smaller yet by taking an option from the
history menu all records were found.

Hi Simon,

I would like more info on this utility.  Our system is very slow and we
are
thinking of upgrading our AS/400 although only 53% of DASD is being
used.
We have several years of info on it and Advanced Sales Order Amend is
very
slow.

Thanks
