The following commands may be used to create an alias database with "long" record entries; note that the creation is performed in a two-step process using a temporary database to minimize any window of time, such as during database generation, when the database would be locked and inaccessible to PMDF: $ PMDF CRDB/LONG_RECORDS PMDF_TABLE:aliases.txt aliases.tmp $ RENAME aliases.tmp PMDF_ALIAS_DATABASE
