It is the first time, that I write to this list and I am not quiet sure, if I am on the right place for asking my question. I hope not being off-topic. If so, please accept my apology for my ignorance in advance.
I have a programm written in Cobol which runs monthly on a z/Os-System. The programm reads inputrecords and writes them in a database (DB2) and in different outputfiles. It consumes nearly the same numbers of input records every month. I wonder now, why there are so great differences in the consumed cpu-time. For example: Last month the programm consumed due to the job protocol 11.25 (what ever that means) and this month it consumed 16.33. Actually I expected the cpu time would be nearly the same. But there is this difference I can not explain. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
