Hoping to find my answer within this esteemed group, rather than finding/subscribing/posting to an IMS equivalent, does anyone know the significance of the first byte of the 8-byte IMS Log Sequence Number (the last eight bytes of each record)?
I'm seeing log records with 'F1'x (e.g., '1' EBCDIC) in the first byte in IMS 11, with one-to-several bytes with hex-zeros, and then the sequence number in the low bytes. Spent almost an hour searching with no clue before asking. Barry Merrill Herbert W.
