Re: ACCPTHSIZ perfomance - *MAX1TB vs *MAX4GB

Good guess Simon.  According to IBM ...

"In R410, the default for Access path size (ACCPTHSIZ) changed to *MAX1TB
rather than *MAX4GB on the CRTLF and CRTPF commands and in the SQL CREATE
INDEX statement. Most existing access paths have an attribute of *MAX4GB.
These access paths cannot be shared by access paths with an attribute of
*MAX1TB. For access path sharing to occur, change existing access paths to
ACCPTHSIZ(*MAX1TB) or specify ACCPTHSIZ(*MAX4GB) on the new access paths."
