Instructions for using the PCHGSIGN utility in INFO
5 Release 7.1:
- Go to a library that uses the OPI/OPA files that
you are trying to balance.
- On the command line, enter PCHGSIGN and
press ENTER. The following is displayed:
PCHGSIGN
Please Enter C for Current OPI/OPA or E for EOM files.
Enter missing parameter
- Enter C if you want to balance the OPI/OPA, or
E if you want to balance the EOMOPI/EOMOPA files.
The program then creates files x.OPIS and x.OPAS, or EMOPIS.x and
EMOPAS.x, which are versions of the current files with the corrected signs
and modified date format (YYMMDD). These files are created in the
appropriate file library from Message Member 0027.
- Queries can then be written on these files in an effort to find the
out-of-balance condition. Note that these files are not used anywhere else
on the system.
If the files exist when the process runs, they will be deleted and
replaced with the new version of the file. However, it would probably be
best if the files were deleted after you are finished querying them. This,
however, is simply a recommendation to keep your box "clean" and
should not have any negative effects if the files are left out there.
