Re: Write to IFS file - high CPU

If it is possible try to check how the write is implemented, its better write bigger chuck of data at once, instead writing byte at byte (buffering)?
Second can be, is this file open as TEXT file or binary, I mean, before write is performed a data conversion can be called EBCDIC -> ASCII (i.e.).
Or you can look which Type is this File, usually are all IFS files created as TYPE2 (performance enhancements) instead of TYPE1 ...
I think the best, will be to start a PEX session to see what happens in the job, this must not be an write() problem ?

Subject: [C400-L] Write to IFS file - high CPU

I have a program that copies a DB2 file into an IFS stream file.
It may process millions of records.
The problem is that the program consumes high CPU (more than 90%). I removed all the processing and only left the read from the DB2 file and write to the IFS file functions. The program stack shows the write function almost constantly so I assume the write function is the one to blame.
What is the best way to implement a solution like that?

Thanks
Boris.
