2699.0. "PARTITION dsab contains an undocumented field" by KAOT01::M_MORIN (Le diable est aux vaches!) Tue May 11 1993 23:16

When doing a DUMP/REC/OUT=x.txt of PARTITION.DAT, the result appears to show 
that there is an undocumented field in the data-set.  This field appears to
be the translation of the logical in the DIRECTORY field.

Can anyone confirm this?

When/how does this field get updated?

Thanks,

/Mario

    Mario,
    
    	I've sent you mail ...
    
    	Could be you're looking at the internal pointer to the DOCDB.DAT.
    	This is used as a quick lookup to the drawer and is updated when
    	the information is no longer valid - DOCDB $CONVERTed etc.
    
    Cheers,
    
    Iain.
