Sounds great in theory Mike but you need to keep the custom files separa te from the standard ones. Richard Caldicott Director of Implementations & Efficiency Tandy Brands Accessories 817-548-0090 extn 146 </TA= BLE> You should just store the logicals in the library with the phys= icals. Then the restore will work and you wont have to wo= rry about juggling library lists. If you have a= multiple environment situation, you probably have a consolidat= ed data file library anyway. -Mike -----Ori= ginal Message----- From: Prill, Steve [mailto:sprill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesda= y, September 14, 2005 7:39 AM To: System 21 Users S= ubject: RE: [SYSTEM21] Creating PF's or LF's Bill, <= /TT> The IBM Redbook "Geac System 21 - Implementation for AS/400" is= an excellent resource http:/www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg2= 45967.html and has great examples of naming conventions. = See Chapter 11 (Customization) and page 390 for specifics. <= /TT> One other thing to consider is if you create logicals over Syst= em 21 physicals you might want to have custom libraries with a = name that is lower in the iSeries sorting order. <T= T>Our custom libraries all start with the first letter of 'Z'. The re= ason for this is in the event of system restore resulting from = a disaster, a disaster test, hard drive failure, etc. when you = restore your libraries it is generally done via a RSTLIB *NONSY= S or some equivalent method. These methods restore the librarie= s alphabetically starting with 'A'. The restore can not restore= logical files if the physicals do not already exist on the system. </TT= > In our case all of the System 21 and other libraries will be resto= red before any of our custom 'Z' libraries. I h= ope this makes sense as it is a very important concept. Worst case is that if you did not use this library naming convention you wou= ld have to manually recreate or restore all of your logicals af= ter everything else was restored in a disaster. However, = you usually have plenty of other things to keep you busy in a d= isaster and this would delay recovery. Steve Prill = Senior I.S.
