One might think there was no useful info in the attached post, but then one notices that the From address tells us that Glenn Herbert now has an IBM address. If one assumes Glenn still has some association with DataStage, one may deduce that there may have been some truth to the rumour that DataStage now has some association with IBM.

Dear Glenn, Thank you very much for theses details. One question : Where can we found detailed documentation about OS level universe's commands ? I found nothing in the whole UV docs I have. With kind regards.

I too received just an empty message and tried all manner of ways to view the text I actually sent; I have learned that printing out the b apparentlyb empty message and holding a candle behind the page does in fact not only NOT reveal any words, it actually causes the page to be consumed rather rapidly in flames!! Ok. So now that I got past the humorous part J, here is the re-created reply which I sent: You can create a dynamic file using mkdbfile as follows: mkdbfile filename 30 minmod grpsiz hash merge split largerec -u uid bg gid bm mode where minmod is the MINIMUM.MODULUS value grpsiz is either 4 or 8 (for GROUP.SIZE 1 or 2 respectively) hash is either 20 (GENERAL) or 21 (SEQ.NUM) merge is the MERGE.LOAD value as a percentage split is the SPLIT.LOAD value as a percentage largerec is the LARGE.REC value as a percentage or decimal -u uid is an optional value specifying ownership (must be root to change from current user) -g gid is an optional value specifying group ownership (must be root to change from current group) -m mode is an option decimal value specifying file permissions For example: mkdbfile MYFILE 30 10 4 20 50 80 1638 bm 438 would create a dynamic file named MYFILE with a minimum modulus value of 10, with a group separation of 4 (mapping to GROUP.SIZE 1), using an internal hashing of GENERAL, where merging is performed once the file falls below 50%, where splitting occurs once the file is over 80% full, and large records (kept in the OVER.30 file) consist of 1638 character or more. Additionally, the bm 438 option is used to set file permissions to brw-rw-rw- (octal 666 converted from decimal 438). And yes, I am now in the employ of IBM, which acquired Ascential and DataStage.
