p_manage_21 on LKR field creates too many z07s

Question

Why is the number of z07 records increasing enormously when doing a global edit on the LKR field using “Global Changes (manage-21)”?

Answer

The sample records have lots of UP/DN links (and maybe the linked records itself have also linked records). In xxx01/tab/tab100 parameter INDEX-DN-LINK is set to yes which means that a z07 record is written for any linked record. Therefore it’s logical that the number of z07 records is increasing.

!# INDEX-DN-LINK
!# Values:Y N Default: Y
!# Type: Text; Max Length: 01
!# tab100 of library: Yes; tab100_<server_type>: No.
!
! This flag can be used to suppress creating Z07 for linked (DN) BIB records.
! The default "Y" indicates that the system writes z07 records for all DN-linked
! sons if the father record is changed.

Set the parameter to “N” and run again “Global Changes (manage-21)”.
