Keep Record Count in FCB

We expend about $14,000 per year in cpu costs using Adarep or AOS to read the AC blocks to get record counts. Keeping the record count in the FCB (tracking A1's,E1's, ET's,BT's) would save us this cost. Though we are a medium shop, we have 142 dat...

Add back ECBS count to CLOGLAYOUT=8

avoid "ADARSP074 - LWKP2 too small" for 24*7 databases

After Adasav restore of a very large file, and running an application to this file, the application received ADARSP074. This happened because LWKP2 was not set and Adabas calculates this part at startup(using the TOPISN of the largest file). The n...
