APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When listing view private files in an IBM Rational ClearCase
  dynamic view using the 'lsprivate' command, the '-long' option
  may take significantly (? 10x) more time than the -short option
  if there are large numbers of view private files in the view.
  

Local fix

• Currently, the only way to avoid this issue is to not use the
  -long option.

Problem conclusion

  and minimizes opens of the "clearcase_specdev" file.
  
  A fix is available in ClearCase version 8.0.1.7
