VENU,

  By running the job in a pool with *CALC AND Sufficient free memory,
the system will adjust the way it gets data from disk. Especially for
sequential processing the system will work to bring in as much data as
possible (as space allows in the pool) so that there is no delay getting
it from disk when the program requires it.

  By using *CALC you are allowing the system this freedom to alter it's
paging routines. If there is not enough free memory in the pool then
*CALC will fall back to *FIXED (although you will not see this on the
WRKSYSSTS screen).
