I always preferred REPRO IFILE, OFILE for backups. Add a BUFND=xx (# of data buffers) parameter... Note: VSAM defaults to 2.

I rarely use Export/Import as BACKUP/RESTORE is available on our z/VSE system. BACKUP/RESTORE has a very good performance record. Isn't EXPORT/IMPORT similar to REPRO performance-wise? I will look into EXPORT/IMPORT.

BACKUP/RESTORE is a high buffered/high performance VSAM backup and restore. Does z/OS IDCAMS have BACKUP/RESTORE? Ed Martin Aultman Health Foundation 330-363-5050 ext 35050
