    don't think it is (including the PFR documenation) why do you ask?

| 4125.2 | part$maint or partition | BERN01::MUELLERS | Stefan A Mueller 761-4864 | Tue May 03 1994 07:11 | 12 | 
|  |     Andrew,
    
    I've written some applications/customizations and sometimes the file
    cabinet has been involved. I had to decide either to choose the
    partition dsab or part$maint. Partition is well documented but will be
    a problem if DNS will be introduced, part$maint is not documented but I
    think it's the way to do it correctly - but because there is no
    documentation I don't use it. Looking for examples in the base
    elements I found that in most cases part$maint is used. So what do you 
    - or others - recommend?
    
    Stefan

|  |     Hi,
    
    If all the drawers you are accessing are local then I recommend you use
    the PARTITION data set because it is more performant, and because it is
    nor dependent on the File Cabinet Server being available. However if you
    are accessing remote drawers as well then use PART$MAINT is required.
    Behind the scenes PARTITION goes straight to the File Cab structures on
    the system, whereas PART$MAINT goes to the File Cab Server.
    
    HTH

    I think that the lack of doc'n for PART$MAINT will be the least of your
    troubles if you use DNS :-)
