Apparently, my post on all the intricacies and details of using mkdbfile got lost and all anyone saw was my signature. I too received just an empty message and tried all manner of ways to view the text I actually sent; I have learned that printing out the b apparentlyb empty message and holding a candle behind the page does in fact not only NOT reveal any words, it actually causes the page to be consumed rather rapidly in flames!!
Ok. So now that I got past the humorous part J, here is the re-created reply which I sent: You can create a dynamic file using mkdbfile as follows: mkdbfile filename 30 <minmod> <grpsiz> <hash> <merge> <split> <largerec> -u uid bg gid bm mode where <minmod> is the MINIMUM.MODULUS value <grpsiz> is either 4 or 8 (for GROUP.SIZE 1 or 2 respectively) <hash> is either 20 (GENERAL) or 21 (SEQ.NUM) <merge> is the MERGE.LOAD value as a percentage <split> is the SPLIT.LOAD value as a percentage <largerec> is the LARGE.REC value as a percentage or decimal -u uid is an optional value specifying ownership (must be root to change from current user) -g gid is an optional value specifying group ownership (must be root to change from current group) -m mode is an option decimal value specifying file permissions For example: mkdbfile MYFILE 30 10 4 20 50 80 1638 bm 438 would create a dynamic file named MYFILE with a minimum modulus value of 10, with a group separation of 4 (mapping to GROUP.SIZE 1), using an internal hashing of GENERAL, where merging is performed once the file falls below 50%, where splitting occurs once the file is over 80% full, and large records (kept in the OVER.30 file) consist of 1638 character or more. Additionally, the bm 438 option is used to set file permissions to brw-rw-rw- (octal 666 converted from decimal 438). And yes, I am now in the employ of IBM, which acquired Ascential and DataStage.
