Birth denotes a rough creation date of the file
server session, if it was created by Natural for DB2 Version 4.3. If the file
server session was created by an earlier version of Natural for DB2, the
birthday of the file server session appears as pre NDB43.
The Directory Entries screen provides the functionality to scroll through the directory entries and to position a particular entry to the top of the screen.
In addition, Directory Entries allows you to list
all file server block numbers of a directory entry (PF4, line
command L) or to delete a directory entry from the
file server (PF10, line command D). You
should only delete directory entries, if you are sure the associated Natural
session is no longer alive, otherwise the deletion could destroy the file
server structure.
Directory Entries reflects the file server sessions at one particular point in time. By pressing PF11, the display will be refreshed from the file at another (actual) point in time.
