When I first started getting electronic PTFs (VMFPLCD stuff) that needed DETERSEing, I DETERSEd a few and then COPYFILE (PACKed them. The original
TERSEd files were smaller, insignificant when dealing with a couple of blocks for a CMS file, but I think it would be significant for even a 3390-m3 and even more for the 3390-m9's that I have to deal with. I am not sure if PACK or even TERSE in a pipeline is appropriate. PACK is a compatibility feature (PACK option to COPYFILE has been there since I started in June 1976). TERSE may also be a file-level compression that restructures all of the data into a new format (please no flames but if I am wrong here, a correction would be appreciated since I don't have TERSE to test with). What PIPELINES needs (and this has been mentioned on the CMSPIP-L) is a record by record compression stage or two or three dependi ng on data content. /Tom Kern /301-903-2211 On Thu, 12 Jul 2007 08:39:52 -0500, Huegel, Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wr ote: >Well maybe if I could get PIPEDDR to work to the remote IP (my network g uys >and I disagree a bit here, my problem not yours) then maybe I'd shutup a bout >TERSE.
