Gerry,
SDSF has quite a bit of overhead to read records from the spool.
My advise would be to change the GCSPROCP job to write its output directly to a
DASD file and then pass it to the next step to be processed by Filemaster - if
you still need the output on JES spool then just add an extra
Thanks Rob that was my advice too, It's not something we do a lot.
I was mainly curious as to what SDSF could possibly be doing to take so
long, surely the spool is just on DASD somewhere!
thanks

Access to spool data is performed using an SSI call to JES (function 1 or 79 -
or sometimes called SAPI) - you supply a parameter list to JES and it then
fetches the data for you and keeps track of where you are within the sysout
dataset so that you can ask for the next record. To achieve this
Not that this is much more than a slightly silly suggestion.. but you
could use FTP to get the output.
