I decided to give this a look. OUCH, MY ACHING CPU! I used DTLSPAWN with the commands: fromdsn -l crlf -t 819 "//DD:INPUT1" | todsn -b "//DD:OUTPUT1" The job was using about 25% CPU, consistently, before I cancelled it. The files are huge, about 16,000+ tracks. In our CPU critical shop, this is just not going to fly. Oh, I had to use "todsn" because we just don't have enough UNIX filesystem space to hold this stuff. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
