Hello, z/OS 1.4, DB2 7.1 here, with a simple low-priority Friday question! I want to write the output of a DB2 PM report to disk so I can do some post-processing on it. If I leave the BLKSIZE off, or code DCB=BLKSIZE=0, I get a BLKSIZE of 6251 on the LRECL 133 dataset. Since this is going to a 3390, (yes we even still hard-code our vol-sers) wouldn't I better off hard-coding a BLKSIZE of, say, 27930?
//SQTRCDD1 DD SYSOUT=* has become: //SQTRCDD1 DD DSN=WU07SG.TRACE.FILE,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE), // UNIT=DISK,VOL=SER=WUDF34, // SPACE=(CYL,(100,100),RLSE), // DCB=BLKSIZE=27930 Since the post-processing will be done with Rexx, (which I expect to be pokey because of the volume of records) I'm wanting to help this thing along all I can. (For example, I'll set the EXECIO lines value to the number of records in a block.) TIA!
