Clark, If you had time to read through this lengthy thread you will find that the 2nd file uses skip-sequential access. LSR is usually not an appropriate strategy for this access pattern. The OP has tried reducing BUFND on the second file, and observed a reduction in throughput, which verifies

No change to java is needed. The new cert is for the order placing process, as far as I can tell, I also run with https download, and use the certs contained in the java store for that. I've successfully placed an order via the Rochester site, which has already converted with no issues.

Fortunately your explanation was clear enough to find out each "mini-record" has at least 10 cells (9 control plus a t least one for data). However you used word "SECTORS". I used  "34-byte DATA CELL", following the 3390 documentation (other names can be found elsewhere). It seems the

Re: CKD details

With all I put in the last post, I forgot to answer WHY 20 sectors at a minimum for a record. It is because at a minimum a record consists of a COUNT and a DATA section. Each one takes a minimum of 10 sectors, so with even a 1 byte record you need 20 sectors. If you had a 1 byte key and 1

Re: CKD details

See the following for how to calculate a sector https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSB27H_6.2.0/fa2mr_sectval.html Question 2: why 20 sectors at a minimum. It's a long answer. We tend to think of a record as three unified parts, COUNT, KEY and DATA, but really they are three
