Any reference to the static filemode must be changed to 'Xn/cuu'. But you can
do this easily with an XEDIT change command. Be sure that your PROFILE XEDIT
doesn't change the file to RECFM V.
NOTE: Nothing forces you to change static minidisks into dynamic ones. That
is, everything that worked before will still work with the new code. IF you
want to change static disks into dynamic ones, THEN you have to go to the pain
of making changes to old FILEID entries.
>Experience: For each FILELIST (not for the only NOTEBOOK filelists)
That was a mistake. I meant 'DATABASE REFRESH listname'. The filelist REFRESH
process is recommended (for consistency) but not mandatory, and then only for
the affected filelists. DATABASE REFRESH is mandatory for all the affected
lists, because the old DBNAMES file contains references to static mdisks. Note
that there is a restriction to the REFRESH command that it will support only a
limited number of different dynamic disks for a given filelist (ie it must be
possible to ACCESS all these disks concurrently - this is for obvious
performance reasons, it would take hours if you had to ACCESS a minidisk for
each file in the filelist). If it proves to be a problem, I will find a way
out (like sorting the files according to cuu, accessing the disk, gathering
all info, then writing it back in the appropriate order - a pain, but it could
be done if needed). This applies only at the filelist level, ie you can have
400 filelists each with files on a different minidisk, but you can't have a
single filelist with files on 400 different minidisks (or then you couldn't
REFRESH it).
