DIRMAINT on z/VM 5.2 uses a delta object directory that I think is used to speed up directory updates. When I run Q ALLOC DRCT afterwards, the directory space used is double the usual amount so I presume there is some magic that DIRMAINT does to manage it. Everytjhing would be fine, except VM:Account gets an abend DRX003 when trying to read the directory during this delta state. When I run DIRMAINT DIRECT the object directory goes back down to regular size. Then, I can restart VMACCT and everything is OK.
Obviously something has to be fixed, but how can I temporarily set DIRMAINT to not run in delta update mode? Ray Mrohs U.S. Department of Justice 202-307-6896
