I didn't see in your post The disk space you are using on the MP3000...it is 1. Emulated DASD (IE part of the 14 GB of disk space that is available from the OS/2 side)? 2. Internal DASD 3. Channel attached DASD The emulated DASD doesn't do writes too fast. But it does do reads fast.

For VSAM it isn't that bad; and Relative Byte Address is a Relative Byte Address, on FBA it's a little easier becasue you just map from the first byte on the pack. VTOC's used the relative record approach instead of an CCHHRR. Garry E. Ward Senior Software Specialist Maritz Research Automotive
