If I understand your comment/question you would have to actually alter your device definitions that you want to have as 31 bit UCBs. At least that is how I did it many years ago when I switched to 31 bit UCBs. I basically went through the device definition and made sure the LOCANY was set to YES and then created a new production IODF. Then go through the process to load the new IODF. To my knowledge that is the only way to get the UCBs to be 31 bit.

Thank you for your concern. But the issue is still how to make the change. On Fri, 27 Sep 2024 10:51:09 -0500 Paul Feller <[email protected]> wrote: :>If I may, one thing to keep in mind.
