>The other thing you might consider is making the ci size = 32K. I have no control of the VSAM component sizes. It's a canned product. We either use it (business need) or we don't (justification required).
I've been a performance/capacity analyst/storage admin since 1981. I do know the options. And, I've even surprised our DBA's with some suggestions. But, we are limited with a niche product that has no alternative. We keep it, or we justify delete or re-write. CPU consumption, in an out-sourced environment, is one of many variables in the justification. Buying new products is not, unfortunately. - -teD O-KAY! BLUE! JAYS! Let's PLAY!
