Hmmm, I did not recall those files had the ALWUPD(*YES); I see those files do Allow Update on v5r3. Anyhow... be *very careful* to make proper, consistent and complete updates, all while ensuring incomplete changes [partial transactions] are not visible to readers; i.e. use appropriate means of isolation]. Those directory files are not implemented with data integrity features like database constraints and triggers, because the /application/ intends to be the sole arbiter to maintain the data. By not using the xxxDIRE commands to do the work, the application will not be in control of the integrity nor will the database prevent data inconsistencies, the onus is on the user to ensure the data integrity is maintained according to the rules of the application.
