Most of the time there is not even a need for a HOLE stage. HOLE is doing work: it is eating records, only the writing is skipped. When HOLE is ommitted the stage to its right doesn't even try to write records. Next point: never use the CMS stage, use COMMAND instead if you want to be sure of what happens. So, instead of: PIPE CMS REL X | HOLE | CP DETACH 120 | HOLE a tiny bit less expensive and safer: PIPE (end ?) COMMAND RELEASE X ? CP DETACH 120
