>I have a question. If I have a file that gets a 97 when opened, is its status/contents at that point the same as if I had first done a IDCAMS VERIFY (and thus get a 00 at open)? IOW: Does letting OPEN generate a 97 due to the IMPLICATE VERIFY generate a different end result as doing an EXPLICATE VERIFY via IDCAMS?
No. In both case, if there were unflushed buffers, they still no longer exist. Only the application people (programmers and end users) can tell if the data is safe. All the (implicite/explicite) verify does is state the the structure of the file is 'safe'. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
