Since I do a total copy of some files from PROD to TEST every few weeks, I've always figured that the QDIR's were exactly the same..... same Record Length, Same Key Length.....
every now and then, I have to refresh one file or another from another DIR... so then copy the data (xxxx) and the index (xxxx.I00) for that/those file(s) and verify using CometEx that the characteristics are correct. Once I finish the copy, I load the program, and all is wonderfulness!
This is the first time I've ever had any problems doing a copy this way.... are you telling me it's total dumb luck that it's worked all this time with "regular" keyed files? That would surely be spooky... my luck's just not that good!
Thanx
