RE: QDBSRVxx Job Hogging the CPU

Simon,

Sorry, but his won't help. The offending job is the job that determines if
there is a saved access path and if so, if it is still valid. This job is
the job that put the logicals on the EDTRBDAP screen. The actual rebuilds,
if needed, occur at priority 52 so there is no (little) performance hit from
the rebuild.

However, without regard to this problem, I agree that all saves (unless you
have a REALLY good reason not to) should be done with save access paths
(*yes).
