BPGSIZE generates the converted COBOL subschema directory (COSSD) only if the page length of the database is extended during conversion. The converted COSSD that is automatically created by BPGSIZE in such cases is placed on a public volume and has the same size as the original COSSD.
The file name of the converted COSSD is:
dbname.COSSD.NEW
dbname
Name of the database being converted
If desired, the file dbname.COSSD.NEW for the converted COBOL subschema directory can also be created independently under a particular catalog ID or on private disk by using the BS2000 CREATE-FILE command.
If the page length of the database is not modified by BPGSIZE during conversion, the contents of the original COSSD will also apply to the converted database. The association between the COSSD and the converted database can then be created by copying the file or recataloging it with the BS2000 command COPY-FILE or MODIFY-FILE-ATTRIBUTES, respectively.
