G'day Greg, Thought I would take the opportunity to run a quick test on a z800. Copying a 108 track SMF dataset.
1. Using ICEGENER without compression 9 CPU seconds into 108 tracks. 2. Using ICEGENER with compression 30 CPU seconds into 76 tracks. 3. Using ISPZIP compression 78 CPU seconds into 8 tracks. As usual you get what you pay for and the more compression you want the more expensive it is in CPU terms. >From the Cambridge Online Dictionary. Compressible, the third meaning is, To make a computer file use less space when it is stored in the memory of a computer or on a disk, by using a special program: Compressable is not known. It's now Beer O'clock, Cheers, Paul Gillis >What I was really fishing for was user experiences with using DFSMS >compressed extended-format sequential data sets. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
