That's a good point. Yes, the "library path" is the pathname of the library object itself, in which the function is exposed. But it's an unfortunate choice of terminology because, as we both did, it can be so readily confused with the name of the environment variable that specifies the shared librar...

Export/import is the only way. Any other "easy" way will involve you having to make repairs which will take even longer. You can use the format.conv command to export and import, but this is messier and slower than the DataStage command. Have you looked at other ways of recovering disk space, such a...
