A new format of Notepad records in Control-D User files is supported from Control-D release 8.0.00. It improves performance of accessing reports containing notes and decreases the space on DASD occupied by the Notepad records. The new Control-D reports created in Control-D release 8.0.00 and later have the new format for the Notepad records.
The CTDNREOR utility translates the old Notepad records, which were created in the Control-D releases earlier than 8.0.00, to the new format. The utility scans the specified User file, finds the reports containing old Notepad records and creates corresponding Notepad records in the new format. The old Notepad records are deleted.
This utility can be submitted once (or several times if the MAXREPNUM parameter is specified) for each User file after upgrading to Control-D release 8.0.00 or later. It is not neceassary to run this utility, since the new programs can access both the old and the new Notepad record formats and the difference in the formats is entirely transparent to the end users. However, it is recommended that customers who are actively working with reports containing Notepad records with the old format, run CTDNREOR to improve performance and resources usage.
