How much in subpool 0 and how much in subpool 2? With very modern storage controllers you can probably reduce the file buffers and not impact the performance too much (not like you might have in 1990, for example). At some point in the near-ish future you might want to get that program researched to see how you want to move it above the line though ... it may take a while to do it and, as I like to say, "time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once." -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
