The first ACB opened causes the BLDVRP to be done using the parameters for that DD only. You should receive message CSR024I indicating SHRPOOL 1 is being reused when the second ACB is opened. If H99NMODF is opened first, the buffer space is (4096*7972)+(8092*272) = over 33 meg. If H99NPFLG is opened first, the buffer space is (4096*4070)+ (8192*532) = over 20 meg. >No the concern is not performance, the concern is memory.

If the BUFSI and BUFSD are defaulted, then the space is 'minimized'. However, if the two files had different CI sizes, then your specification would not work if the one having the smaller CISIZE were opened first. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
