Richard, I see your point, but I don't agree with you 100%. I would agree that you need to keep the ORIGINAL VENDOR SUPPLIED OBJECTS separate from the new ones. But most people have done some form of library consolidation and also have multiple environments. This means that they have probably copied their original file objects to one or more libraries. At this point, I don't see the problem of mixing in custom objects if they are clearly marked using a naming convention. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: Richard_Caldicott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Richard_Caldicott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 9:09 AM To: System 21 Users Subject: RE: [SYSTEM21] Creating PF's or LF's 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'.
