Hi,
Is there a command that can tell what these parameters are set to or do I need to check all the mdisks that DIRMAINT has access to. I started this thread and what we want is simple. For our VSE machines what we want is WYSIWYG. When I want to do a 'DIRM REPLACE', DIRMAINT should replace the current source directory entry as given to it if there are no errors in it (how about having an 'ASIS' option?). I know sometimes adding a comment for a new minidisk is sometimes preserved in the source and sometimes I'll see the comment somewhere else in the directory entry. If I could find out the logic of how DIRMAINT does the shuffling, maybe I could follow its rule(s) in order to get the source looking the way I want.

These may or may not be the issue. Second, someone mentioned comments taking space in the object directory... My impression / hope would be that comments would be stripped from the information before building the object directory, since there is no actual purpose for them there, and there isn't a convenient tool to take an object directory and turn it into a source directory. Are the comments actually left in the object directory? If so, MAINT is one of the worst offenders, leaving in the hundreds of links that it uses during the installation as comments. -- Robert P.

Initially, I thought this was because we use special local procedures that interface with DIRMAINT but I just tried some vanilla GET's & REPL's without any movement of comments at all. I guess this must be some DIRMAINT configuation item that causes the difference for us, but I am not sure which. Note: Comments DO get repositioned when creating a new directory entry.
