Be very cautious using DEFERW with BLSR unless you already have a good backup
of the KSDS immediately before the program starts. Recovery after a crash
(program or system) will require a restore of the file, since DEFERW with a
crash can leave the KSDS corrupted and sometimes unreadable, in
Frank,
Try using batch local shared resources (SUBSYS=BLSR) for the file, and specify
at least twice as many index buffers for it as you have levels in the KSDS.
For example:
//MYKSDS DD SUBSYS=(BLSR,'DDNAME=MYKSDS#','RMODE31=ALL',
// 'MSG=I','BUFND=256','BUFNI=10')
Thank you Frank! That is eminently easier.
