Re: Accessing a file in memory

Reality Check number 1:  Are the files indexed and is there a K in the 
F-spec?  If so, is it needed? 

For example if you plan on changing nearly every record in some way does 
it matter what order this occurs?  If you can do it in Arrival Sequence 
instead of the K sequence you will save magnitudes of time.  One report 
earlier  was of a job going from several hours to less than an hour when 
they removed the K.

        Subject:        Accessing a file in memory


We have a project where a few files are accessed a lot in a job stream and
the job takes over an hour to run. We are looking for ways to speed up the
process. We are wanting to load the few files into memory rather than
accessing the files off the disk because we heard that a company that
purchased the same software did the same. Can you advise us on what might
be the best solution? User space, what?

Thank you,
