Actually, John didn't get to specify what he had. The ESDS is Frank's example.
Doesn't stop us discussing Frank's example. The particular "best" solution for one-or-more sequential files with one-or-more VSAM in SORT will be down to the exact situation persisting (ie a "generic" solution could work "badly" in lots of cases). I have read that loading a KSDS with a high-key is a bad thing to do. Idea was that the high-key would be present in a CA and cause a split many times as the data is added. If the ESDS is not in order and you want it to go to a KSDS with REPRO, you'll have to SORT it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
