2620.0. "Dbkey definition in Alpha" by itvms1.it.oracle.com::MRESNATI () Tue Apr 15 1997 06:45

    Hi,
    
    Vax environment:  Ovms 5.5-2H4
                      COBOL 4.2
                      DBMS 4.1
    
    Alpha environment: Ovms 6.2-1h3
                       COBOL 2.2
                       DBMS 6.1
    
    Customer said me that in Vax environment DBkey is in the format 
    LL:PP:AA while in Alpha environment DBkey format is AA:LL:PP.
    Is it correct????
    I'm sorry but I haven't a Alpha machine with DBMS to test it.
    He has a lot of programs in Cobol and P/L1 that reference physically
    dbkeys and now in Alpha these programs abort.
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    Massimo

	Maybe Brenda has had too much maple syrup lately. ;-) Of course it was just a slip. Yes, Liz is correct: Area:Page:Line (word:longword:word)

	Actually, its a problem with not enough maple syrup. I keep giving it all away to persons who shall remain un-named. And yes, it was a pre-caffeine slip :)
