"The secret is blocking. Fixing the I/O is the single best thing you can
do to fix performance problems (presuming there are no physical
constraints like insufficient main storage, or a gutless processor)".
  
 
 Joe, I am curious.  I do not know how to do the kind of testing you did on
the read/reade issue, but I am curious enough about the effects of adding
BLOCK(*YES) to the file's F-spec to ask if by any chance you saved your
testing program?  If so, could you add BLOCK(*YES) to the F-spec for the
READ version, and retest?  It is my contention that the performance boost
will flabbergast you.

                                            or not.

Thank you for your consideration.
