This morning, after downloading the latest cume for v5r4 and loading it
to the virtual optical drive, I ran (as I usually do) the VFYIMGCLG
SORT(*Yes).
Usually, in fact always in the past, this has put the images in the same
order as the image number; e.g., SF99540_1.bin, SF99540_2.bin, etc. So
that, when I use the WRKIMGCLG command to view the catalogue, the index
numbers are the same sequence as the images. E.g., SF99540_1.bin is
index #1.
But today the first index number in the image catalogue was
SF99540_9.bin, the second index was SF99540_10.bin, the third index was
for another PTF group (SF99114_1.bin). The non-cume groups were in the
correct order, but SF99540_1.bin followed the non-cume images so that
SF99540_1.bin was index number 10.
I used the change option to put the images in (what I think is) the
correct order: SF99540_1.bin is now index #1, SF99540_10.bin is index
#10, SF99114_1.bin is index #11, etc. I.e., the same order in which I
would have inserted the physical CD's into the optical drive if I had
planned to load them manually.
First, anyone have any idea why the SORT(*Yes) sequencing of the image
catalogue indices came out in a different order from the physical image
number (_1, etc.)?
Second, based upon that answer, did I do the right thing by re-assigning
the index numbers? Or is the i OS PTF function smart enough to know
what order to use the images regardless of the image catalogue's index
number?
