Just a couple of "COBOL sequential file" issues that MIGHT impact this.
1) If the file is a "variable length" file, then make certain that you have the AWO compiler options specified. 2) If you have any internal SORT statments, make certain that you have specified FASTSRT compiler option. *** Always a place to check, make certain that you specify NOSSRANGE for "performance sensitive" jobs. Finally, you might want to review the entire "tuning" paper at: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27001475&aid=1 "Kannard, Stephen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... > Language is cobol.
