has anybody seen a single logical type 30 record which has been "split" into multiple physical type 30 records? Is such a logical record guaranteed to have its "segments" physically contiguous? Or could a different SMF record be written in the middle of such a logical type 30? I'm trying to figure out how to process such a thing short of loading the information into a database and extracting it later. I am also worried that the "first segment" could be written to one MANx dataset and that record causes SMF to switch to another MAN dataset. In our processing, this would result in the two segments being in different sequential, GDG files. Because we do GDG-all processing to combine these GDGs daily, the segments could be out-of-order in a physical sense. And separated by quite a number of other records.
Any words of wisdom? Is there some SORT that I could do which would guarantee that the "split" type 30s would be in order after the sort? -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
