On the off chance that anybody is interested, I have finally created a
SAS dataset containing the input from all 21 tapes. It contains
35,122,765 observations. It is 903,000 tracks in 346 extents on 27
volumes.
Now to try to run some statistics <burr> on those observations.
That's only approx 50GB <g>
In fact, I had to do with 10+ GB IRRADU files and the size was *typical*
for the datacenter. I also had to do with SMF file approx. 1TB (yes,
TERAbyte) for given month - although it was by mistake of CICS guy.
I didn't have to much trouble to process the data. Mainframe is
*dedicated* to process huge amounts of data, isn't it ?
My $0.02
