You can control how many records you read at a time with parameters on EXECIO. Read them into a stem 1000 or so at a time and process them or if you have a ~1G address space you can read the whole thing into storage. :)

I have a file (about 575000 records @ 1752 lrecl) that takes my REXX routine
quite awhile to read through.   Any file buffering options in REXX?   I've
searched the manuals, archives, and google.   It's a straight sequential read.
