I can't say for certain that it would work at all, but if it did I would wonder if performance would be as good as a properly sized hashed file. Why would you want to change this to a directory? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Josh

I frequently do this on UV. (Note--the VOCLIB or a PL file; **NOT** the VOC file!) It makes using non-U2 editors a lot easier. I use UltraEdit on Windows and TextWrangler on Mac. Both have Open/Save via ftp. Performance? Minor hit when invoking paragraph as the READ in the VOCLIB now requires

Clif, how many items are typically in your VOCLIB? Just wondering if there's a not recommended past x size consideration to keep in mind? I'm not intending to hijack the thread, but what is the intended purpose of the VOCLIB file? I have one in each Universe account, but in each case it has 0

You'll use more disk space (8K minimum per record on Tru64 Unix by default; if the record is larger than 8K, then disk will be used in increments of 8K). It's also possible, but unlikely, to use up all the namespace that Tru64 allocates for record ID's in the Unix filesystem. We found this when a

My own VOCLIBS are not that large, usually 100 items. I see that Thomas has posted some limits and guidelines for Tru64. Other platforms will differ. As an anecdotal note, however, I had a client a while back who had a 30,000 record 17GB SAVEDLISTS file on AIX. With the exceptions noted
