Blocking controls how often RPG sends the records from it's memory to
the database's memory.

FRCRATIO controls how often the database software writes it's memory to
disk.

Hhmmm. Reading the help text on the command, I guess that is the
problem. The file has FRCRATIO(*NONE). Here is the part that I'm
confused about. In RPG, data blocking(buffering) should only happen
if file is opened with output only. This RPG program is opening this
file with UPDATE only. Did I missing something?
