Hello Mike,
Most of the restrictions in the classes you mentioned disappeared from
ADABAS years ago. In our shop we yo-yo the ADABAS databases weekly -
though I know many shops that yo-yo the database only when an IPL is
required. We run backups every day - this can be done on only those
blocks
My 2.10 manual says it is optional in a catalogued procedure. I have
some in the proclib used for started tasks and also in the proclib used
