162.0. "FDL$GENERATE not giving complete FDL" by DSNENG::S_ROSCIO (Fight Crime - Shoot Back) Sat Feb 08 1997 14:40

    G'day -
    
    The FDL$GENERATE routine and ANALYZE/RMS/FDL generate different
    results.  In particular, FDL$GENERATE does not produce a complete
    output with indexed or direct files.
    
    Does a callable method exist to get a complete FDL output?  Is there an
    exposed entry point into the ANALYZE/RMS/FDL code?
    
    Thanx!

	FDL problems are best discussed in the RMS notes file: VMSZOO::RMS_OPENVMS If you decide to open up a topic there, it woudl be exceedingly useful to add an indication of exactly what you believe to be missing. Best I know, FDL$GENERATE, while indeed regretably using entirely different code from ANAL/RMS, is believed to generate suffient information to re-create a file with the same essential characteristics. The main difference is ofcourse the STATISTICS section. IMHO that difference is warranted at this requires MAJOR additional complexity which lives well in a dedicated utility and is not critical to a (hopefully) smallish shareable image. If you need thos details, then I suggest you simply (LIB$)SPAWN ANAL/RMS/FDL as that 'feared' SPAWN overhead will be completly overshadowed ky the expense of the (standalone required!) ANAL/RMS task. In other words... WHAT PROBLEM ARE YOU TRYING TO SOLVE. Hein.
