RE: How to optimize COPY *ADD

If I understand you correctly, you're copying a file that's built daily to a
history file.  Six hours sounds like a long time for 4,000,000 records.  Are
you copying in keyed sequence?  If you are you could try fromrcd(1).  

Otherwise, you could break it down into "simultaneous" submitted jobs using
fromrcd(x) torcd(y).
