Scott,

You have gotten a TON of great advice. I've been where you are several times in
the past !

One thing I would add is to check for files that need to be reorganized ! SOME
3rd party vendors (and usually the ones that create multiple million record 
files
and are constantly deleting out of them...) have files with deleted record 
counts
that would BLOW your mind ! We actually had 7-8 million record files with 5 or 6
active records in them !!!

I wrote a series of programs several years ago that would check files in all
libraries for this and produce a list.

Also check for unneeded PTF SAVF's and also permanently apply PTF's !!!

Exactly what box are you on, what model drives and what OS version ?

Good luck !

Chuck
