How many jobs in production do you have that it's an issue? IIRC, COPYMOD came out with XA. We've/I've used it non-stop since then. It's never been a bottlneck/resource hog. The only place it's measurable (that I'm aware of) is during system's maintenance. And, I would still do it, then. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
