Gunnar,
What we do is:
output filename.all
unload all
output screen
disconnect
rename db.rb* olddb.rb*
run filename.alll
The key here is the rename of the database rather than a delete. Only caveat is that you must be sure that "olddb.rb*" does not exist in the current directory; otherwise, when you "run filename.all" you'll be duplicating your data. But this technique leaves the original database intact in case the process fails somehow. All you have to do then is rename it back to the original name.
Has someone a guidence? 1. If I do a pack I understand I take a chance on no power breakdown. 2. If I do a reload I should not have the risk of power breakdown but have the same result as 1 obove. 3. If I do unload all then delete the database base an load it back, that should be the same as 2 obove.!? 4. If 2 and 3 and that does not give the same result what am I doing wrong? 5. I am mostly on DOS 1.862 (or Windows corresponding version) Background: 1. I am doing conversion work from Glorious 2.11 to Dos version of today waiting for the future win 7.0 to go Windows when happy days will arrive. Other minory ? that I can not answer! 1. Has someone an Idea where I can look for answers? 2. Has anyone an Idea what to look out four? Not to worry! 1. Some 20 % of my application is running on 1.862 but I would be happy to understand above subject before I Move remaining 80% from 2.11??? From the Swedish Dinosaur of 2.11 world ??? Gunnar
