Check table overflow?

Post by Pradeep Kumar »

Hi,

Is there any way to check the table overflow with out changing all the programs in the application system? I did not understand this question, can anyone of you please answer this question?

I asked more detail on this question to the interviewer but he said let's move on to next one.

If the programs are COBOL and the site has SSRANGE as a default (few do -- it uses run-time resources) then the programs would check for table overflow while executing.  Otherwise, there might be some product on the market to do this but I'm not aware of one.  It sounds more like an interviewer question that the interviewer doesn't understand, either.

If not using SSRANGE already, you can recompile all the programs with SSRANGE. You don't need to change any code.
