As a former CA-View support person, if you are doing a physical copy to like geometry, all should be ok. By like geometry, I mean if the original file is on 3390-3, the "new" file will need to be in the 1st 1/9th of a mod 27 *AND* at the same track addresses.
Any kind of logical copy will need to be done with View/Deliver utilities. There are internal pointers that will be messed up if the database is logically copied. I concur with your statement that the technicians are not likely up to speed and are going with the recommendation that they *KNOW* will work. HTH, <snip>When we contacted CA's tech support, their response was that only their utilities can be used to move their databases - I think it more likely that the technicians responding don't have a clue as to how PAS works and that this is the response typical of CA. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
