I'm reworking some code to avoid multiple OPENs for reading PDS members..
But, I will still be just reading one member at a time, and I don't know the member names a-priori. The DFSMS documentation states that using BLDL + FIND (and using the ttr,C form for FIND) results in a performance improvement... over simply pointing FIND at the DCB. But - is that still true if the BLDL list is only for one member? That is, if you're looking for one member at a time, is there a reason to prefer BLDL+FIND over a direct FIND of the DCB? It seems to me the next BLDL is going to have to read the PDS directory to find the information; just like a FIND would have to do??? - Thanks - - Dave Rivers - -- [email protected] Work: (919) 676-0847 Get your mainframe programming tools at http://www.dignus.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
