Re: WDSCI-L Digest, Vol 2, Issue 289 -- WDSCI-L

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Problem with the verify.

Which version of WDSC are you using, I believe with WDSC v5.1 the
cache issue has been resolved.  I don't have my PC with WDSC installed
on it right now, but if you have v5.0 you can set the cache size to 0
and it will no longer cache during the verify.  If you are still
having problems with this it would be best to contact IBM iSeries
support their LPEX developer will resolve this issue if there is a
problem.
