I originally posted this in a thread about verifylh back in 2004 and since the thrust was towards verifylh perhaps it got overlooked (there were no further comments). I'm interested to see whether this problem still exists and if so what are your thoughts.

I also have some additonal concerns about the Universal Driver that have emerged due to discussions in this forum. It seems that if you create a new table while running the UD, extended header information is written (presumably to enable larger file sizes etc). There have been reports that this extended header is unreadable by verifylh and dumplh. Surely both of these essential utilities need to be updated to handle the extended header format. Currently I copy my files to my workstation, modify them without the UD and return then them to the server to get around this. I would be interested in any opinions from other AREV/UD users.

Thanks for the reply Steve. I can understand your point with regard to the UD preventing GFE's and indeed we haven't had any, however I still need to tune files from time to time and the current implementation of UD vis-a-vis verifylh and dumplh makes this quite a pain. Currently we are banking on updated utilities in AREV32, which we are hoping we will be able to afford. 8-)
